What am I talking about? The seemingly shrinking size of buttons in Mobile devices, that’s what! In a world where we need more and more functionality in devices, there is a trend amongst manufacturers to decrease the size of buttons on devices – to the point these days where we seem to have dots or…
Work vs. Play – Microsoft/RIM vs Apple
So I was pondering the other day, and reached the conclusion that the PC/Mobile setup I used to have at home (which was Microsoft/Nokia, but is now Apple), is similar to one that I still have at work – that is, I use a combination of WinXP and a BlackBerry at work, yet at home…
Rocketship Apple: docked, and porting data!
So finally, after the long-winded process that has been the porting from Microsoft over to Apple at home (both computer and mobile), I’d say we are virtually there! Right now, on a weekly basis, it’s a training process to how the various data can be ported from, to, and between the platforms, and applications that…
The top three recent films for Mobile device product placement
Hmm, I am beginning to really like writing ‘lists’ of top 5’s and top 3’s, so here goes another – the top three (recent) films for Mobile device product placement – let’s see if you agree! Of course the pinnacle of product placement IMHO is the Nokia 5110 Banana phone in the Matrix, but, here…

Review #3: Apple iPhone 3G case – Sena Ultraslim (black)
Those of you that read IntoMobile regularly will know that I’ve had trials and tribulations with cases for the iPhone. I’ve been through solid cases, pouches, display protectors, and frankly – they all make the iPhone look terrible – the operator-approved case even scratched my iPhone!! So it was with great trepidation that I ordered…
Review #2: Apple iPhone composite video cable
Yep, so I’ve been on a bit of a buying spree – and I gotta say, buying accessories is definitely a bit of wallet-basher! The composite cable for the iPhone/iPod is near to £30, which is incredibly harsh for any (mobile) cable. Having said that, you do get £20 worth of charger/USB cable included, so…
Review #1: Apple iPhone 3G dock
Nice. Very nice. So, the first of the new items I had ordered, which arrived, was Apple’s 3G dock. Now this isn’t a new item, but, it’s one of those items that at £19, you might well have considered, and thought twice about. However, I’m relieved to say it’s really rather good. One of the…
Concept phone #3: X-1000
Esato provides us with today’s third concept device, the X-1000, which is mocked up to be from Sony Ericsson. There are some killer features on-board, such as Android, and a gigantic touchscreen. The concept would appear to be based on the X-1000 walkman player that was released at CES, but takes the design in to…
3UK goes after lower-tariff customers
3UK has come in with a £9/month tariff for users, trying to get them on to contracts, and out of prepay (and probably attract some new users in to the bargain!). The deal gives the customer a Sony Ericsson G502, 100 cross network minutes or 100 texts (or any mix of the two), 300 FREE…
