Yahoo! oneConnect looks like a very nice applicatin for aggregating a ton of your on-the-go needs, particularly if you are one for staying in contact, and messaging your best buds. There are a bunch of instant messenger services that are accessible through oneConnect, including Messgner, AIM, and Yahoo’s own, but also some other interesting sites/services…
nVidia go large at MWC…
Obviously there were several hundred announcements, press releases, events and so on at MWC – however I figured this one is probably worth highlighting – if only because it shows some truly awesome UI – and we all like a good UI don’t we! nVidia (those of meaty PC graphics card pedigree) have announced their…
Post-MWC roundup…
So Mobile World Congress (MWC) is all done now, and for me personally it was a hectic period – probably too hectic, on reflection. Lots of deals were done, alcohol consumed – oh, and there were some Mobile devices and services there too. Below are just a couple of offbeat observations from the show: People…
UK: BT Fusion: no longer
BT is ending it’s Fusion service for the consumer market, after only 45K subs registered since 2005. The idea behind it was to sign up (lots of subs) who were in to the idea of cutting bills by routing calls over WiFi when they were at home. Many commentators have blamed the lack of…
MixDJ application turns your phone in to a superDJ!
Apparently, the MixDJ app turns your phone in to a DJ – or so NXP software, who are behind the app, are suggesting. You can do beatmatched, gapless, cross-faded mixes of your songs, and then apparently save the mixes to share with your friends. You can’t unfortuantely download the app, as NXP are known for…
UK: Sunday papers – HiFi Music on your Mobile?
For those of you reading from the UK, you will be very familiar with the tradition of the “Sunday Papers” – buying them first-thing Sunday Morning (i.e. today), and the sitting back with a coffee or tea mid-morning and reading them (in fact that timing could equally well be mid-afternoon, whilst the re-run of EastEnders…
Babies and Mobiles – part 3: various
So you might remember I am posting occasionally about Babies and Mobiles – today I have a small selection of thoughts, loosely grouped together… Thought #1: MWC – I’m off to MWC this week, and it’s the first time I won’t see her for a more than day. That in itself isn’t great, but I…
Emporia Telecom’s phones for the Elderly
Austrian firm Emporia Telecom specialises in making phones for those of us who have not only approached, but charged through, the “50 year old” barrier! There are no music/video/camera-type functions, but instead big buttons, LOUD volume, and emergency call functions. The company will apparently by at MWC, so it will be interesting to see more…
Dell Could buy Motorola
Another rumour, but an interesting one… Dell might be in the running to buy Motorola! We’ve reported before about a possible partnership (or no) between Dell and Google, so this would potentially provide Dell a third leg to the stool – and with it’s considerable PC/Hardware experience, they could just pull it off….! [Via: Mobile…
UK: O2 creates team to ‘mobilise businesses’
O2 has created a dedicated team of mobility experts (the “O2 Professional Services Team”), to help out enterprise customers. Apparently the idea is to remove the “hassle” of customers having to deal with this, and provide ROI (return on investment) information, before any finalised solutions are recommended. This adds to the momentum from last month…
