A little while ago I came across 24hourlondon. It’s an app that does what it says on the tin. That is, it helps you easily locate London’s 24-hour establishments — or, frankly, the restaurants, bars and clubs that are open late.

Help: BlackBerry 8900 SMS thread display question
I got this mail in from a reader today — are there any BlackBerry experts reading? Have you any experience with blackberry 8900′s – specifically related to threaded messages?

Mobile Social Networks: What’s their future?
I’ll admit it; I’m one of those weird people who click that box that enables websites to send out lots of pointless newsletters. I live in the hope one day they’ll serve a purpose or value – like the Woolworths ones did (once upon a time) – and of course updates on other websites and [...]
