International calling for… FooCall

FooCall. Say it slowly, in two parts… Fook. All. Now say that together? Fook All. FooCall. That’s right! International calling for next to nothing.

OpenTable seats 2 million diners via their iPhone/Android app

Who’s the arse using his phone for directions? Me!

I was on Chiswick High Street today trying to find a cash point that worked. Eventually I found the Natwest and managed to obtain some cash and as I departed the bank, a chap stopped me on the street. He was wearing a Tesco supermarket jacket. “Excuse me, mate,” he said. I turned round. “Do [...]

Why the Ovi Store is still total bollocks

Why the Ovi Store is still total bollocks

Yes I’m a fan. A big Nokia fan. Using my new N86 I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the background-processing abilities with the likes of Nimbuzz running along with Google Maps, ShoZu and so on.

Touchnote launches on iPhone to connect your photos to the real world

My wife still sends letters. Thank you letters, the odd note to her friend, that sort of thing. She does it a) because it’s good manners and b) because it means something.

It’s been a little while since I last stopped by Mobango. Last night at the MIR Mobile Mixer event in London, somebody mentioned them in conversation and I thought I should take a closer look. Mobango, in case you need a refresher, is all about mobile content. They’ve done a ton of work to make [...]
