Andreas Constantinou, Research Director at VisionMobile, is a friend of mine and does the exact opposite of what I do. As opposed to pumping out multiple articles, 5 days a week, he’s an analyst who writes reports worth more than the laptop you’re using to read this and the laptop I’m using to write this…
Rumour: Bloomberg: Nokia will not announce any new hardware at Mobile World Congress
Bloomberg, whose integrity and trustworthiness rivals that of the Associated Press and Reuters due to most financial traders using Bloomberg data when deciding whether to buy or sell shares, has thrown down the gauntlet and said Nokia will not be announcing any new hardware at Mobile World Congress 2010 and will instead be focusing on…

Brief: Is this the Nokia N98? [Yea baby, that’s definitely 4 inches of power in my pocket]
What is it with the French? Yesterday it was Tom’s Guide that claimed they knew about Nokia’s new naming scheme and the 12 megapixel packing N8, now we have BeGeek who claim that they have a render of the Nokia N98. It’s supposed to have a 4 inch screen, ship by the end of 2010,…

Rumour: Nokia changing model naming scheme, will announce 12 megapixel camera phone at MWC
Mobile World Congress is less than a week away, so you’re excused if you don’t read anything after the period ending this sentence.

AT&T to deploy LTE using Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson equipment, peg 2011 as commercial launch date
AT&T published what is probably the longest press release I’ve ever read, so I did my best to summarize it for our lovely readers: “We’re already using Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson for our current 3G network, the one everyone loves to hate, and rather than trying to find new partners, we’ll continue using them for deploying…
Opera to demo Opera Mini for iPhone next week, launch Opera Mobile 10 beta for Android too
Opera Mini, the browser I install on everyone’s smartphone whether they give me permission or not, is the type of application you’d never associate with the iPhone.

Bubbly: Like Twitter, but instead of 140 characters, you’re limited to talking for 60 seconds
Here’s a concept that’s a bit odd. Take Twitter, a service that allows you to post a 140 character message that the people who follow you can read. No matter how many people follow you, you only see the tweets of the people who you want to pay attention to. Now do the same thing,…
