More updates to Mobile Industry Review

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

I had another field-day this evening with sodding cascading style sheets on Mobile Industry Review.

Eventually I just stuck in some tables and woosh, it worked. I will arse about with the CSS to try and make it work another time.

Here’s the latest update:

I’ve split the news stories down the left and made a central column for stuff like our upcoming events and the latest MIR Show episodes.

I changed around the top right-hand box again — that we added last night — and made it 100% content focused:

We’ll aim to change that content weekly — apart from the daily ShoZu bit.

For the heathens still running on 1024×768 resolutions, I changed the width back down to 950 from 1010 pixels yesterday. It should work now.

Quick fact? 23% of the MIR audience run their systems on 1024 pixel resolutions. The vast majority — 63% — use resolutions much higher than this with 1280×800 being the most popular (25%), followed by 1280×1024 (15%).

Still lots of work to do on the site. If you’ve any recommendations, shoot me a note.

Nokia’s N82 Firmware bumped up to v30

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Following the release of the version 30 of firmware for Nokia’s N95 and N95 8GB phones, Nokia has now made the same version of the firmware available for the N82. Steve, over at AAS, notices that the new firmware update brings similar improvements as compared to the two phones who initially got the updates, but they’re not necessarily identical. Improvements include more stable Flash Lite 3, Maps 2.0, new visualizations for the music player, increased speed and overall performance, less sensitive auto-screen rotation, Share Online 3.0 and various other bug fixes, improvements and better battery life.

Steve goes on to mention that the dim-display feature has not yet been fixed and the new UDP (User Data Preservation) feature sounds a lot comforting. However, from the comments on that article, it seems that the upgrade isn’t playing too fair with the users. So if you’re going to make the jump and play around, do let us know about the update in the comments.
