This isn’t the first time we’re writing about Emoze. By now you’re probably aware they provide both individual and corporate users with free multi-platform, mobile push email service, calendars and contacts. And now they’ve just announced that literally anyone could use their solution. Not even a Gmail account is required — the regular POP3 account…
Vodafone to trial HSPA+ alongside Ericsson, Huawei and Qualcomm
While most of the world still waits to adopt 3G, let alone HSDPA, the Big Red carrier is eyeing HSPA+ and is set to trial it along with its “partners in crime” – Ericsson, Huawei and Qualcomm.

Motorola Booth Tour from 3GSM Mobile World Congress 2008 Barcelona
With Motorola struggling to keep its head above water, we expected the embattled handset manufacturer to wow us at 3GSM (Mobile World Congress) 2008. Our expectations were set a bit high, it seems. Motorola had nothing new to show at their modest MWC booth – only the same Motorola z10 and ROKR E8 that we’ve…
Symbian OS – 77.3 million Symbian smartphones shipped in 2007
Right. While other smartphone platforms are holding onto sales figures in the single-digit millions, Symbian Limited (the Symbian OS developers) has announced at that they’ve shipped 77.3 million smartphones outfitted with Symbian OS in 2007. That’s a 50% year-on-year increase in Symbian OS smartphone shipments worldwide. Yeah, Windows Mobile and Apple have a long way…
i-mate Booth Tour from 3GSM/Mobile World Congress 2008 Barcelona
What does the i-mate booth look like, you ask? Well, here you are. I-mate’s booth featured their Ultimate lineup of mobile phones. The Ultimate 9502 and Ultimate 8502, which were just announced (although, we’ve already had a chance to play with them at CTIA 2007) were displayed alongside the Ultimate 8150 and Ultimate 6150. Whether…
Plantronics Explorer 370 – ruggedized Bluetooth headset
A ruggedized handsets is nothing new these days, but a ruggedized headset certainly is. I’m not sure why it’s needed — except to pair it with the equally “tough” phone or to fill the headset maker’s gamma with one such product. I guess Plantronics wants the latter. Or not… I’m not sure, to be fair……

Initially, the group will focus on the UK market, with each of the participating member working to…
SRS Labs unveils surround sound for mobile video
SRS Labs announced a new technology called SRS CS Headphone that should somehow enable “dormant,” theater-like surround sound in mobile video and streaming media applications. And while I’m still having a hard time understanding how all this works, apparently CS Headphone takes the stereo or surround encoded 2-channel audio and first processes it using an…
EQO expands its mobile VoIP service globally
We’ve already covered EQO in the past for several times. And it’s because we like it, we’re glad to report they’re finally rolling out their mobile VoIP service globally. I’m not sure why it took them so long, but whatever the reason is (like translation) – they’re a global player now. According to EQO’s official…
LiMo Foundation: Orange and ACCESS are on board; All our devices are at Mobile World Congress
Following the Android announcement, it seems LiMo members suddenly woke up and have started speeding up things. That being said, at the Mobile World Congress they’ve announced two new members – France Telecom owned Orange and the Palm OS owner – ACCESS. What that means for the platform is hard to say — it’s certainly…
