Is Android about to replace your credit card? Eric Schmidt talks chips
In: Mobile Phones| News
16 Nov 2010Quite often when looking at tech stories you can get a glimpse into the future. Ideas that seem a bit bizarre and unnecessary are quite often the ideas that end up succeeding. So when the Telegraph reported that Eric Schmidt, Google’s chief executive, talked about people being able to make payments with their mobile phones [...]
Sony Ericsson to climb on the Windows Phone 7 bandwagon
In: Mobile Phones| News| Sony Ericsson
15 Nov 2010While we were hitting refresh on the NASA website to see what this ‘exceptional object in our cosmic neighbourhood’ is we stumbled on to a story on Recombu and Into Mobile. Most of our thoughts were taken up with what the ‘exceptional object’ might be. Perhaps it is an extinction level event asteroid? Or the [...]
Palm Pre 2 gets official UK launch
In: Mobile Phones| News| Palm
12 Nov 2010Everyone liked the original Palm Pre. Well when we say everyone we mean all the tech journalists and the three people that bought them in the UK. Going up against the iPhone and Android was never going to be an easy task but Palm produced a great little handset that deserved a lot better than [...]
Gartner announce some numbers. Not good news for Nokia
In: Apple| HTC| Mobile Phones| News| Nokia
11 Nov 2010The Guardian website has published some very long winded numbers from Gartner, who seem to be the ‘go to’ people if the mobile phone industry needs some numbers crunched. On the whole these stats are usually pretty boring but the third quarter numbers for 2010 have actually pointed out some interesting trends in the smartphone [...]
HTC to join the online app store bandwagon?
In: HTC| Mobile Phones| News
9 Nov 2010According to one of the grand bastions of global capitalism, the financial times, HTC is planning to launch its own online app store. Launching your own app store seems to be the fashionable thing to do for technology companies now. However the fact is that most of these app stores have trouble competing with the [...]
iPhone and Android Facebook apps get an update
In: Apple| Mobile Phones| News
4 Nov 2010Accessing Facebook on the move has rapidly become a key feature for many Facebook users. Globally, something like 200 million people access Facebook on their phones. That’s quite a scary number when you think about it. If he were a Bond villain Mark Zuckerberg would have a massive private army to call on, but thankfully [...]
App review: F1 News 2010
3 Nov 2010In all honesty we find Formula 1 a bit strange. It is odd that a billion dollar version of robot wars that is designed to flog products has such a devoted following. But then being a hardcore fan of any sport is a bit weird and usually an exclusively male pursuit. We know people that [...]
iPhone alarm clock woes
In: Apple| Mobile Phones| News
1 Nov 2010Were you late for work today? Did you have to rush out of the house, still semi comatose from sleep, urgently trying to get to your job? You weren’t the only one by all accounts. Popular internet moaning platform Twitter has been groaning under the strain of furious tweets from iPhone owners who were late [...]
RIM goes bold, again
In: BlackBerry| Mobile Phones| News
29 Oct 2010It appears that our dream of seeing Jim Balsillie and Steve Jobs resolve their differences in the octagon have gone up in smoke. It’s a shame as we think that all tech fans would like to see an internet geek scrap turn into full contact fisticuffs, especially when the people in question are pretty wealthy. [...]
Playstation phone: Is it a fake?
In: Mobile Phones| News| Sony Ericsson
28 Oct 2010The internet is full of tricksters and people with nothing better to do than spread rumours around to get people excited and then dash their hopes into a million pieces. It’s a sad fact of life that some rumours, though we want them to be true, turn out to be false. Yesterday the tech world [...]
