Ready for a bit of a brain dump in a semi rambling manner? I wanted to get a few thoughts of my own out before I published those of the readers. First though, let me take a wee look back. It’s been painful to watch Android. There are some fundamentals that have been missing. Ever [...]

361 degrees podcast – Episode 7: Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be
Listen! This week we reminisce about the devices we’ve owned and loved over the years. We highlight a few we think were real ‘market changers’, a few lemons and speculate about who might make the next game-changer. Rafe also lets slip the secret of his magic drawers. Amongst the devices we discuss this week are [...]
Carphone Warehouse’s ultimate off-road Motorola Xoom 3G test video
I have been giving serious thought to purchasing a Motorola Xoom 3G tablet. Why? Well. It’s almost obligatory. Like most mobile media folk, I’ve had hands-on, I’ve had-a-play. But that isn’t good enough. Not when you’re an international jetsetter mobile influencer. I have a policy of making sure that, all things being equal, I own [...]
The Making of the Motorola XOOM tablet
In today’s world of choice, feeling good about your purchase is important. Being able to tell a story is important. Feeling like the people who made the product actually care about what they’ve made is important. In the bad old days of mobile, I often used to attend the most lacklustre device launches you could [...]
Unlocking the Verizon Motorola Droid Pro for use in the UK
A colleague of mine arrived back into the UK recently with one of Motorola’s latest Android devices, the Droid Pro (otherwise known as ‘the one with the QWERTY keyboard’). The Pro has been raising a lot of eyebrows recently given the addition of the physical keyboard — something that’s been keeping many an executive tied [...]
Motorola: “The iPad? It’s a giant iPhone”
Right then the Tablet marketplace is beginning to get a lot hotter. With Samsung shipping over a million of their Galaxy Tabs in recent days, the spotlight turns to Motorola. Have a look at this rather swish video from the team at Motorola. It’s rare to see a manufacturer actually reference other products and services [...]
Motorola Flipout: You’ll love it, or…
… or you won’t. It’s what’s known in the industry as pure Marmite. Either you’ll take to it or you’ll be up to the wee small hours screaming about handset design standards. Have you come across the Motorola Flipout before? I found it lurking in the Expansys.com ‘coming soon’ section and was minded to take [...]
UK Normobs: We’re not buying Samsung again
Researchers YouGov asked almost 4,000 UK adults to comment on their mobile phone purchase intentions. Interestingly the majority of users expect to change handset brands next time the get a chance. It makes interesting reading so I’m going to cut and paste YouGov’s feedback: Step changes in technology always provide opportunities for significant shifts in [...]
Do you know anyone who’s bought the £1k Motorola Aura?
I was walking down Tottenham Court Road the other day when I saw a sign advertising the Motorola Aura for £900+. I remember wondering if any readers know anyone who’s bought one. Obviously I doubt any MIR reader worth his or her salt will have purchased one given the fact the device itself does more [...]
CTIA Fall 2009 — Android’s Coming Out Party
The Fall CTIA is always the red-headed step child of the two CTIAs. At least they usually happen in San Francisco, the new center of the mobile universe, but this year, the Fall CTIA was in San Diego, and of the two CTIAs it was more like the red-headed step child with 11 toes. Attendance was [...]
Motorola’s DEXT Android phone on Orange: Could be very, very good
Last night the rain was, as the phrase goes, ‘coming down in buckets’. While most sensible folk were staying inside or heading home, I was doing the opposite, trudging along Millbank to get to Altitude on the 29th floor of the Millbank Tower. This was for the Orange/Motorola Motoblur & DEXT event. I arrived to [...]
