It’s a perennial question amongst Mobile InterWeb users – is my Mobile Operator of choice fiddling with my access to the wider InterWeb? Recent IT news suggested that Orange was blocking access to The Pirate Bay (which itself doesn’t seem to have been out of the news this year!), but it turns out that was…
UK perspective on Apple’s Ad ban
James wrote a great post a coupla days back on the banning of one of Apple’s Ads in the UK. It was covered quite extensively in the UK by The Guardian, and also the BBC. So now it’s time for the UK office of IntoMobile to weigh in (with considerable weight!!), and say – actually,…
I turn 3G off…!
Probably against the grain compared to most people using Mobile devices, and possibly/probably much to the chagrin of the Mobile Operators who spent all that money on 3G licenses, but right now when I get a Mobile device, the first thing I do is see if I can turn the 3G network selection off. My…
‘Would you consider’ Mobile accessories #2: Video Eye-wear
Recently I’ve posted up some coverage of the Vuzix iWear range, which is now available in the UK. The ‘video glasses’ are essentially two small monitors (typically at QVGA or VGA resolution) that sit on a glasses mount – and give you the apparently perceptible equivalent of a 44-62 inch Plasma, depending on the model…
‘Would you consider’ Mobile accessories #1: Super-power Bluetooth headset
Of late, a few Bluetooth headsets seem to have popped up that claim to offer superior distance coverage (and I would have to assume therefore call quality). Most seem to have a base (docking station) that come with them, and all seem to be extending the workable wireless coverage from 30-100m. These accessories seem to…
YouTube goes HD – but what about for Mobiles?
Any of you who are au fait with the selection of video streaming sites out there will know that YouTube is generally regarded to be the most well-known – although not necessarily the best for quality. So why has YouTube been slower to market with better-quality videos? Well, certainly from a volume perspective, YouTube’s video…
UK: Economic Stimulus of VAT cut – effective?
You can’t say our coverage of the up-to-minute Mobile stories isn’t there, be it devices, services, or Industry news – IntoMobile is always on the case! We even cover wider news that pertains to given countries/economies, and how that affects Mobile – in this case it’s the UK, and the measures that are due to…
Rocketship Apple: docking with Planet Apple imminent!
Yep, that’s me – flying at speed away from the world of Windows, and heading for Planet Apple. And yet an exciting development occurred yesterday – the MacBook Pro arrived! (In case you wonder what on earth I am talking about, click here, here, and here). Yes, the MacBook Pro 15”, fully-loaded with a STACK…
Follow-up: iPhone 2.2 fixes Mail and Safari….?
Those of you regular readers will remember I wrote a short piece on whether 2.2 SW fixes the Mail and Safari apps, as the ‘release notes’ said it would. Well after some intensive usage, I am inclined to say NO and KINDA – that being related to Mail and Safari, respectively. I’ve not had any…
“I have a dream…” of a perfect Nokia smartphone
As I already said it before, after using the Nokia E71 for two weeks, I fell in love with it. The full QWERTY keyboard and the overall look and feel are two key factors why I think it’s the single best Symbian S60 smartphone released to date. However, something’s always missing and it’s a result…
