The ready reckoner that I’ve been using for quite a long time — what folk on the trains and the Underground in and around London are doing — is pointing to a slow but increasing trend for Apple Watch adoption. I’ve seen various studies around recently indicating that Apple Watch customers are generally highly satisfied […]

Ahead of the Apple keynote announcement later today we’ve been conducting a bit of research with the Mobile Industry Review audience. Hundreds have weighed in with their opinions in response to my post last week. I asked a very simple question: Which Apple Watch are you going to buy? I gave the following response options: […]
Putting the 24/7 follow-the-sun development efforts of some of the world’s largest banks to shame, Nationwide Building Society, has launched it’s first ever Android Wear app (and, to my knowledge) ahead of absolutely everyone else on the banking High Street!

It’s Day One of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and I’m in the UK, getting organised for my flying visit to the exhibition tomorrow. I’ve spent the evening reading the various different press releases from Samsung and wondered just how they were managing the Unpacked Galaxy S5 announcements on YouTube.

It’s not an event geared to announce major amounts of news, it’s really for developers and partners of Orange just to get together. We’re just here to […]
The platinum, chief, head, he who forks over the wonga for this years Orange Partner Camp is Access – the upcoming Linux OS based mobile platform. In previous years its been Microsoft, who have always had a presence here. This time around, 8 years in, they’re notably absent. Whereas before they’ve always been here, in […]
Just seen on the Orange hand set product line up table is the Bold. It appears the rumors of its demise have been greatly exaggerated. Orange has some great great troubles with the Bold, leading to the RIM phone being pulled from its network. This was despite them being the very first UK network to […]
Another new Nokia hand set spotted at the event at the very same table as their current phone lineup. Does this mean this musically inclined mobile will soon be on Orange? Yes, we believe so. Otherwise why would it be here, come on now Orange! 2+2=4 after all. Posted via email from MIR Live
