Obviously the wireless industry is taking a hit based on the current economic environment. And apparently, consumers are now saying that data plans may be one of the things they’re most likely to cut/reduce as times get harder. So, Bytemobile thought it would be interesting to offer carriers some ways to stay relevant, maintain competitive…
Black and Chrome: the standard for a lot of devices now?
The other day I had a bunch of devices on my desk, and in between posts and the like, I glanced across at them – at which point I realised that almost all of them have the same exterior treatment in terms of colour, highlights, and styling. What do I mean? Well if I told…
Some thoughts on the next Nokia Internet tablet device
It’s fair to guess Nokia will launch a new Internet tablet device later this year. We’ve already posted an article with the rumored specs, but we haven’t said — cause we don’t know — whether the touchscreen used will be capacitive or resistive. The point of this article is to make the case for the…
Back on planet IntoMobile after a manic week!
Hi y’all – I’ve been offline for a few days, dealing with the very recent arrival of our (and by that I mean my wife and I, not the IntoMobile team!) second baby – a bonnie little boy! Suffice to the say these last days have been quite interesting from an emotional, sleep, and general…
UK: £90 is what 16GB of memory costs (in the iPhone 3GS)
Interestingly, looking across both tariff prices or one-off device purchase costs, the difference between iPhone 3GS 16GB and 32GB versions appears to be pretty much fixed at £90 (ish). Now, I was pondering whether there was anything else I was missing, in terms of differences between the two variants of the 3GS, but it appears…
iPhone 3GS: commentary on upgrade and tethering pricing…
I’ve been reading the InterWebs of within the last week or so, and there’s been ‘quite a bit’ (wow, that’s the understatement of the year) of negative feedback on the costs of both the tethering (using the iPhone 3GS as a wireless modem), and also the cost of the new iPhone 3GS itself. I can…
How much wireless crossover do you have at home?
Walls, bricks, mobile devices, and WiFi networks – a good mixture of stuff, not all of which plays nice together…. I’ve recently been re-architecting my home network, so that all of my mobile devices (and in those include laptop and netbook, since they are portable) can access a network easily, no matter where I am…
Babies and Mobiles: video monitor!
One of these days, someone is going to come up with a decent ‘mobilised’ solution for babies – I reckon I could write a functional spec within a couple of days – after all, I’ve got the mobile experience, and I’m the proud owner of one baby – with another on the way (eeeeeeeeeeek!)… However,…
Back-covers of Mobiles: best and worst for wear ‘n’ tear…
What with the advent of the supposed new iPhone, with its supposed rubber case, I thought it might be interesting to consider a selection of back cases (or mouldings) of various devices – with a view to ID-ing the best and worst in terms of medium-term wear. So readers, here are my best(s) and worst(s)…
NetLingo: Digital Native
My fave tech-lingo site, NetLingo, has come along with another classic phrase: digital native as opposed to a digital immigrant A “digital native” refers to a person who is born after 1984 and uses computers. As opposed to a “digital immigrant” –one who had to learn their way around the Internet– digital natives have…
