MIR Show – Week 43 – Trutap, Fluid Pixels & Skyfire

Ewan — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 11:06:49 +0000

I didn’t have time to publish this one last week since there was so much going on during Thursday and Friday (mostly T-Mobile G1 related). So before we bring you Week 44 — it’s time for eight minutes and twenty four seconds of joy from Week 43…

Continuing our coverage from the Symbian Smartphone Show — we’ve got vids from Trutap, mobile developers Fluid Pixels and a bit of a secret exclusive from Skyfire.

If you’d like to get this vid direct to your handset in 3GP format — or if you’d like it piped directly to your iPhone in proper sexy iPhone format, or if you’d like the near HD quality version, it’s all available via our RSS feeds.

MIR Show – Week 43 – Ewan Spence on the Symbian Foundation

Ewan — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 09:20:15 +0000

In today’s segment, we grab a be-kilted Ewan Spence of All About Symbian and ask what he thinks of the Symbian Smartphone Show — which segways into a monologue on the state of Symbian today. Although Ewan takes a positive viewpoint, I was occasionally scowling behind the camera.. I think Symbian need to get wit tha programme.

Mr Spence makes some very good points though.

Here’s the vid…

We talk with Simon Ainslie, CEO of Nokia UK

Simon Ainslie, CEO of Nokia UK answers our questions about their new Comes With Music service, launched here in London last week.

Here’s the streaming video:

Now, we’ve changed things around somewhat. Most weeks, we’re producing a MIR Show around 30 minutes — sometimes as long as 35 minutes. Whilst we’re getting tons of downloads (and views), thirty-five minutes is quite a commitment in terms of time and attention.

In particular I’ve been wanting to see how you all react to smaller vignette style features. I think these might be more accessible for a lot more of the wider audience who don’t necessarily want to sit down and watch the whole show.

There won’t be one big show this week. Instead, it’ll be split across the week — one per day. We’ll add them into the podcast streams as daily episodes too.

I can foresee this being slightly annoying for those of you used to a complete packaged ‘show’, but I also like the fact that, for the first time, we’ll be able to publish our features on Youtube and other streaming video sites (that insist on <10 minute videos).

Please tell us what you think?
