The Daily Mail Online had a great story that I just had to mention to the IntoMobile readership – they’ve calculated the exact time on Christmas Day when people get most frustrated by their techie pressies – apparently that time is 11.48am. The result was from a study that a tech support helpline (The TechGuys)…
Anyone had an iPhone in a case and found it is now scratched….?
Following up on a previous post I wrote, I’ve found that in using one of the cases that the O2 shop recommended, I now have a VERY scratched iPhone! GROWL! So I’m throwing it out there – who’s got a similarly marked phone? I can’t believe the materials are that susceptible to scratching, yet what…
Facebook client on iPhone not very stable?
Is it just me, or is the Facebook client for the iPhone not very stable? I’ve used it quite extensively recently, partly just testing out what functionality was ported over, but partly because it’s a convenient way to keep up-to-date with friends who use it (a lot more than I do, I might add). However,…
Time to set a standard for costs of movies to buy/rent in the UK…
I think I have finally reached the end of my tether, and can feel a serious rant coming on…… But what am I ranting about? Well, the inconsistency in the prices of movies to buy on-disk (and online) in the UK. It seems like for certain films, at certain times of the year, prices are…
UK: check your bank accounts, someone might have your information and be topping up Prepay with it!
Yes, strange as it may seem, the favourite pastime of those people who steal bank details may well be topping up Prepay Mobile phones! When you give some consideration to this however, it might not be quite as odd as you think – with the preponderance of ridiculously cheap devices in the market at the…
What’s the most horrific bit of grammar mangling you’ve seen in a Mobile product?
Mobile tech is wonderful in many respects – the pace of innovation, the ability to make desirable products from seemingly abstract concepts, and a genuine desire I think, to connect the world wirelessly. But sometimes, the word gremlins get in to products and their user guides, and bad things happen. I guess in a lot…
Why can’t we all just get along?
It’s an oft-asked question, but still a very relevant one, nonetheless – “Why can’t we all just get along (in the world of Mobile)? Whether it’s real venomous negativity for preview, reviews, or opinions, the overwhelming negativity that persists within the Mobile Industry is something that continues to surprise and disturb me in equal measure.…
The Cameraphone: tool of office party espionage!
As the party season takes a firm grasp and shakes us by the dancing shoes, I wonder if the camera module on lots of mobile devices is going to be getting a good workout? What with the ubiquity of camera now found on devices (very few don’t have one), stills, and increasingly video, can easily…
Natural Year Phone concept is designed to dispose itself after 2 years
We’re all “going green” these days as it’s the only way to sustain our planet. Moreover, I guess we’re all aware that in that sense something’s gotta give in order to make the world a better place. However, there are some limits. Take the Natural Year Phone concept pictured above. Sure it will dispose itself…
Tactile silicon case allows visually impaired people to use the iPhone
Here’s an interesting idea. A designer named Bruno Fosi envisioned the silicon case pictured above to allow visually impaired people to use the iPhone. The case is engraved with modified bas-relief buttons that correspond to a modified homescreen and is should work in tandem with a specially prepared application to add accessibility functions like text…
