So on my longwards journey to try and Apple’s infamous device to handle email, I investigataed A LOT of solutions… this one I found sitting on the InterWeb – and certainly it managed to alleviate my problems to some extent. With the kind permission of Jim Martin (Traveller 2.0) then, I reproduce the solution steps…
UK: Sony deliver awesome walkman mp3 player
How did this one pass me by? Well, no worries as Advanced MP3 Players emailed me to remind me about the availability of these Sony Walkmans, which they have on a ‘double your memory’ promotion – simply, that means you can get a 16GB device for just under £100! Even better, the devices work with…
UK: O2 moves to change perception of it’s Mobile Broadband
Here’s a worrying stat: One in ten current mobile broadband users feel that they have been mis-sold. “….consumers feel that they were deceived on the cost of the service with nearly a third complaining that the ongoing cost was higher than expected.

Okay Skype we get your message: call cheaply abroad from your Mobile!
Well you can’t put down a try-er can you? Skype are nothing if not persistent with hammering home the message of calling abroad cheaply, using your Mobile (on 3UK!).

I finally broke my N95-8GB…
Yep, the day has come, and I’m a bit sad – my N95-8GB provided 10 months of faithful service, before giving up the ghost (hardware-wise) the other day. To be fair, there is nothing wrong with the general function of the device – I just managed (somehow) to break the ‘zoom out/volume down’ part of…
Email Signatures – “sent from my iPhone/BlackBerry/etc”
This could easily be an addition to the series of “Ben’s pet peeves”, but I suspect the response from readers on this issue could be quite polarised too – let’s see… So my question is around the auto-signatures that more and more wireless devices seem to be coming configured with, in the email application. The…
NetLingo: word of the day: Phonesia
NetLingo really is one of my favourite sites on the InterWeb – they seem to have a word for everything. Take this for example: phonesia The affliction of dialing a phone number and forgetting whom you were calling just as they answer (see also: ohnosecond). “Phonesia” also refers to the inability to remember where in…
