I am constantly on the lookout for the ultimate Apple iPhone case – I’ve seen and tried lots of pretenders to the throne, but I think finally I might be nearing the end of my mission. Why? Well, the Knomo Sleeve for iPhone 3G and 3GS (retailed by Mobilefun) is a pretty good effort! Here’s…
Video: Nexus One multi-touch pinch zooming demo
The Nexus One in my pocket has just been blessed with Google’s software update, which enables multi-touch pinch zooming in the web browser, photo gallery, and Google Maps apps. The lack of multi-touch support on the Nexus One’s Android 2.1 OS is considered by many to be the biggest drawback that’s keeping the N1 from…
Usage review: Groovemaker Reggae for iPhone/iPod Touch
Anyone that regularly reads IntoMobile will know that I think the Groovemaker range of Apps are awesome – sitting in a perfect niche between recreational music, and professional music production – they are kinda like the guitar hero of mobile music production, but there’s real productivity in here too – it’s no game!

Hands-on review: Mobilefun charge & sync cradle for iPhone 3G/3GS
It’s always good when you get an hardware accessory that combines a keen eye on price, with good functional design.

Apple iPhone and Google Nexus One beat Motorola’s Droid in touchscreen accuracy tests
When it comes to capacitive touchscreens – like the displays found on the Apple iPhone and the Google Nexus One – it’s not always just about resolution, screen size, or whether it’s OLED or LCD.

The Five-minute fiddle: INQ Chat 3G
Crumbs, it’s been a busy week at IntoMobile Towers in the UK – apart from all the CES stuff, I’ve also been getting devices in the post (no mean feat when you consider we’re getting snow – which all local authorities seem completely ill-prepared for!) Anyway, enough of my weather-related woes – one of the…

This time around, we were treated to a preview of the latest 3D game for the iPhone – EA Mobile’s The Sims 3: World Adventure. It’s the latest addition to the popular Sims franchise,…
Hands-on with the HTC Smart from CES 2010
When you think of a “smartphone,” you’re probably thinking of some sort of advanced device running one of the traditional smartphone operating systems – Windows Mobile, iPhone, Android, Symbian, or webOS. HTC, on the other hand, is redefining what it means to be a smartphone. The HTC Smart is the first “smartphone” to come out…
