I'm back with version 3.0 of Mobile Industry Review!Tamebay are reporting that eBay are waiving the standard 12p charges for the text message updates:
eBay are running a promotion for SMS text alerts for September waiving the normal charge of 12p per message. You’ll be able to receive free alerts when watched items are about to end as well as place and raise bids on eBay auctions.
Good news!? Anyone ever used eBay text messaging alerts?
I’ve had my first email about CTIA in September. From MX Telecom, no less, asking if I’m up for an interview / briefing.
That I am. With nobs on. And with a large HD camera in tow.
We’re going to be doing a lot of wicked coverage from San Francisco this coming September.
Are you coming?
Thanks to reader Jon who dropped me a note to tell me Google are hosting a developer day in London this coming September.
It’s of relevance if you’re into mobile and thinking about working with or using Google services.
Learn how to best use Google developer products to build social applications, mobile applications, geo/maps applications, AJAX/JavaScript applications and more.
It’s being held on the 16th of September at Wembley Stadium.
You might even get a chance to speak to everyone:
We are planning a session that is open to any attendee to present. No rules, no guidelines, just 10 or 15 minutes, an open mic and an internet connection. Depending on interest, we cannot guarantee you will be part of the session, but we are planning many spots for informal get togethers
Lars Rasmussen, Ben Appleton and Tom Stocky will be on hand to dispense their Google-wisdom.
I reckon this is worth taking a day out for if you’re anywhere near involved in mobile applications.
Weighing in at 125g with 16GB of memory and HSDPA brilliance, the Nokia N96 arrives on the 3UK network in September.
It’ll be available for around £15 per month on mix’n'match. I’ll take two, please.
I think I need this one.
Here’s the QIK video of it in action:
