Fingers too big – or buttons too small?
What am I talking about? The seemingly shrinking size of buttons in Mobile devices, that’s what!

Concept phone #3: X-1000
Esato provides us with today’s third concept device, the X-1000, which is mocked up to be from Sony Ericsson. There are some killer features on-board, such as Android, and a gigantic touchscreen.

Touchscreen Touchscreen Touchscreen!

Ben: 1 year on at IntoMobile!
Yep, 1 year on from starting at IntoMobile, and 870 posts, and it’s anniversary time! It’s been a great experience over the course of the year – who would have thought such a short review of the BlackBerry Storm, could have created such a … er … Storm! Many Thanks go to Yoeau, and ‘Big…
