Quite 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

Carl Lowen — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 11:26:06 +0000

While 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 [...]

Everyone 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

Carl Lowen — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 11:39:46 +0000

The 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 [...]

iPhone and Android Facebook apps get an update

Carl Lowen — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 11:54:37 +0000

Accessing 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

Carl Lowen — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 11:25:31 +0000

In 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 [...]

RIM goes bold, again

Carl Lowen — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 10:44:08 +0000

It 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?

Carl Lowen — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 11:37:51 +0000

The 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 [...]
