Yep, that’s me – flying at speed away from the world of Windows, and heading for Planet Apple. And yet an exciting development occurred yesterday – the MacBook Pro arrived! (In case you wonder what on earth I am talking about, click here, here, and here). Yes, the MacBook Pro 15”, fully-loaded with a STACK…
Follow-up: iPhone 2.2 fixes Mail and Safari….?
Those of you regular readers will remember I wrote a short piece on whether 2.2 SW fixes the Mail and Safari apps, as the ‘release notes’ said it would. Well after some intensive usage, I am inclined to say NO and KINDA – that being related to Mail and Safari, respectively. I’ve not had any…
What’s your favourite colour – on a Mobile device?
So it’s been a few year now since the somewhat iconic Moto RAZR V3 appeared on our shores, and then suddenly went pink – and a rainbow of other colours! The V3 brought to the fore something that had largely been lying dormant, and was barely experimented with – different colour swatches on Mobile devices!…
Madonna divorces Guy; I divorce my N95-8GB
Yup, today Madonna was apparently granted a quickie divorce from (now) former husband Guy Ritchie. They had been married for a good few years, and whatever happens, you hope the both of them will be happier now. Well, in a (kinda) similar sense, I have divorced my N95-8GB fully now. Cracks (not literally) started appearing…
So iPhone FW2.2 fixes Mail and Safari does it? Right, let’s see…
(Check out Will’s post on the contents of the update to the iPhone firmware here) Many of you who have read my previous posts on the iPhone’s application issues will know that I have grievances coming out of my ears with both the Mail (here) and Calendar App (here). You’ll know that I have crashed…
Should Apple license FairPlay?
I wrote a post the other day about how (apparently) the BBC were none too amused that Apple isn’t willing to budge in terms of licensing FairPlay DRM. The context of the post was that the BBC iPlayer team, on the back of uproarious success in the last 12 months, were seeking to add download…
The next big thing: Contactless
I was pondering the other day what the next big (mass market) thing in Handset innovation could be. We’ve already had (and still have) camera module development, and also touchscreens, and probably very soon “haptic-like” feedback through those screens. Screen resolution on devices will continue to increase slowly, and you could argue the same for…
IntoMobile Awards 2008?
Here at IntoMobile we are always looking at ways to provide colour commentary on the Mobile Industry – and sometimes we like to get reader input before we forge ahead with new ideas. So, we were considering having an IntoMobile awards series of posts, that would perhaps look at recognizing some of the better (and…
iPhone battery: follow-up #3
Aha! Finally the culprit to my quickly-depleting battery is becoming clearer… and I blame push-sync! Previously on IntoMobile we had suggested tips for extending the battery life (here), and I followed up with my investigations on to what could be the primary battery hogs (here). Having turned off pretty much all the radios in my…
UGC: did it run out of gas?
After what seems like a fairly explosive few years, with headlines pretty much weekly, the world of Mobile user-generated content (UGC) seems to have gone quiet. Previously not a week would pass when some new service or other (or in fact a service mashup) would launch, always promising something that hadn’t been done before. Leading…
