Hello, hello!
We are most definitely BACK this week — back in London after the international shows we’ve been publishing over the last two weeks. The team is in one place. In fact they’re positively beaming with excitement.
In this week’s show:
- We visit the LG Renoir launch and take a look at the handset [...]
Carphone Warehouse are hosting a Christmas Press Show next Tuesday. It’s a preview of their hottest handsets and product announcements that we can expect to see hit their shops toward Christmas.
And we’ll be there, with bells on. Unfortunately there’s no filming allowed — so we can’t produce a MIR Show from the event [...]
Kudos to Matthew Bennett who has already sent us three different videos, filmed, if I’m not very much mistaken, on a Nokia N95. Stands to reason as Matthew runs NSeriesUS.com.
Matthew has pointed the camera at himself and filmed the following lines:
- “You’re watching Mobile Industry Review, not SMS Text News”
- “And now [...]
We’ve had a lot of mail and instant messages in from readers today asking how we got on at the Sony Ericsson Party last night.
The full joy will be comin’atcha on Monday — but until then, here’s a one minute preview. A trailer, if you like!
Sony Ericsson Party - Preview from Mobile Industry Review on [...]
I’m looking forward to meeting the Sony Ericsson chaps. Whilst they make some really good handsets, I’m thoroughly depressed by their lack of perceived innovation. Candybar after Candybar after Candybar. Show me the innovation! And that doesn’t mean putting Windows Mobile on to a Sony. We shall be [...]

This week we’re bringing you an absolute WHOPPER of a show. A veritable whopper.
1. We’re committed to bringing you our show from different, unusual and picturesque locations around London. I think we’ve beaten everything so far by filming from the Tower [...]
We’ve been getting super feedback about the changing locations for the filming of the Mobile Industry Review show. This week we chose the Tower of London. I didn’t expect that we’d be able to film *inside* the Tower itself. As you may have seen on previous posts, Tim from Historic Royal Palaces [...]
Continue ReadingWe’ll be producing a special report Mobile Industry Review (”MIR”) show from CTIA. I’m hoping to include Sybase, Sierra Wireless, Nuance, Zumobi and Cell Trust so far. There’s a lot more on the schedule.
If you’re heading to CTIA and you’d like to feature, drop me a note and we’ll sort schedules.
To qualify, you have to [...]
I had a chat a little while ago with Mark Curtis, top chap at mobile flirting extravaganza, Flirtomatic.
I’ve long been watching Flirtomatic’s growth — and I hold them to be a shining beacon of the mobile data industry. They’re one of the first services I can recall who actually designed their entire operation around [...]
This week we’re heading to the Tower of London to produce the Mobile Industry Review Show.
It will, I’ve just noticed, cost us about one and a half grand, plus VAT, to film there, so we shall be filming outside. Very much *outside*.
But we’re off to the Tower.
Look out for lots of shots of ye olde [...]
This week we’ve got a special guest — and we’ll also be showing off the new 3 Skypephone S2. If you’ve got some suggestions for devices you’d like us to try out on the video, let me know?

Here, then, is Mobile Industry Review on location.
Yes! This Saturday, we headed down to sunny Brighton on the south coast of England, to visit the inaugural social media cafe (”Tuttle Club”) establishing itself in the town.
We’ve got a packed episode of pure joy for [...]
We’re heading down to the launch of the social media cafe (the Tuttle Club) in Brighton tomorrow morning. We’ll be filming the MIR show from the cafe, the beach. Plans are afoot to try and get some footage of James Whatley on a donkey. I’d pay good money for that.
If you’re in [...]
I’ve been through a whole array of different podcasting systems. It’s been quite annoying. I was hoping to find a system that we could easily adopt and bish, bash, bosh, that would be it. A 10 minute job and a bit of customisation.
No such luck.
We’ve got three feeds for you, you see. [...]
I had a super time talking with Sulim Malook, CEO and Founder of Blue Systems recently.
Blue Systems are a leading provider of real time financial information to both business and day traders. They’ve had a PC based service for quite a while, but only recently did they decide to implement a mobile version of [...]
We’re taking the weekly podcast to Brighton this Saturday morning. Oh yes. We’re descending with our superstar podcast team, Dan Lane, Ben Smith and James Whatley.
They are being recognised! Dan was slightly taken aback the other day when Alex Meisl of mobile genisues, Sponge Group, spotted him. (Dan’s company, Howler Tech, [...]
Dan Lane, Ben Smith and James Whatley are back! This week we took the video podcast to Covent Garden — Central London’s haven for tourists.
It’s a very special video this week — we tried out the SIMable ’sim unlocking solution’ for handsets on a Nokia N95… and it worked. Then we tried it [...]
… Covent Garden.
That’s right!
We’re heading into the heart of London’s West End to film next week’s videocast.
If you’d like a shout-out, tell us and we’ll include you.
A note about shout-outs: I met a chap (codename: “Geoff”) the other week who didn’t think that we genuinely want to say hi to people [...]
SMS Text News Podcast 16 (with Video) from Ewan MacLeod on Vimeo.
There’s always a moment of slight panic when you’ve uploaded a 168mb file and you’re waiting for Vimeo to show it. Did I upload the right one? Did I remove the ’subtitle here’ white text? Published and be damned!
Here then, is [...]
I was joined at the AQA summer party on Friday by regular contributors, Dan Lane, Ben Smith and James Whatley. It was held on the Queen Mary, a steamer ship, moored on The Thames just nearby Embankment tube — an excellent spot for admiring much of London.
Based on the success of the trial video [...]
Good morning and welcome to our first video podcast. We’re trying something different this week, as per my post last night.
We take a look at Sagem, we discuss 3, we cast a glance toward the inevitable iPhone availability discussion, we discuss the Nokia Tube — and Dan and Ben get overrun by some testosterone-fueled [...]
We’ve decided to mix things up a bit. Instead of sitting around in the virtual dark with just audio, this week we’re trialing video.
Contributors Dan Lane, Ben Smith and I headed off to the Centre of Her Majesty’s Empire (that is, Buckingham Palace) and talked-to-camera.
I’m going to see if we can rip the audio [...]
Mr MacLeod is back from his desert island this week and we’re back in SMS Text News Towers too - normal service has been resumed. This week we preview Ewan’s write-ups on the technology he took with him - the stuff that made it through customs and the stuff that didn’t. We also celebrate Orange’s entry to the 21st century with a sensible data tariff and their latest customer, talk about Yahoo’s developer platform ‘Blueprint’, handset pricing, unlimited drinks Dublin and our usual ‘things of the week’.
Continue ReadingWe’re doing our best to try and work out exactly how many folk are listening. It’s a bind, a total bind. There are oodles of stats and clicks and download notification engines to look at.
In the end you have you stick up your hands and say,… ‘Er, I reckon this is probably about [...]
This week Ewan’s still on his desert island, James is in a muddy field (Glastonbury apparently) so Ben and Dan talk to special guest Jay Fenton on subjects including the Nokia buy-out of Symbian, Nokia’s problem with product leaks, the new ‘UK network’ UK01 and the furore over Roger’s tariffs for the iPhone in Canada [...]
