Our developer, Pashik, has been working away.

It quite simply gives you an RSS news feed of our site in an easy to consume form. Nothing too shocking for our first app version.

The big challenge we’ve got though is designing a decent icon for it. Any ideas?

Pashik reckons that a red square with the letters “MIR” in white isn’t that stunning. He’s knocked up some others samples here:

I suppose we could probably use a small MOBILE INDUSTRY REVIEW … but it’ll be quite small on the device. Does anyone have any ideas?

3, Toshiba and Amnesty International first clients for product personalisation company skins4things.

skins4things provides custom-made ‘skins’ for laptops, iPods, games
consoles and mobile phones. You just stick on the vinyl and woosh, you’ve now got a Union Jack coloured iPod. Or N95. And so on. Nice!

If you’d like your own white labeled store for your brand, talk to the co-founder, Alex Meisl (Or email me and I’ll connect you). Their 3 branded store (http://www.threeskins.com) has been hugely successful.

Skins start from just under a fiver. I wonder if they can change my Nokia E90 into a Mobile Industry Review branded handset? ;-) I think that might be a custom job as the company has wisely focused on providing skins for the most popular handsets in the country.

This RAZR doesn’t look that bad now ;-)
