Wow. It doesn’t seem like long ago I started writing for IntoMobile, and in that short time a year has passed – and now another milestone – 1000 posts! During this time I’ve been convering heavily the areas of Mobile TV, infrastucture, and multimedia – with a helping of devices thrown in for good measure!…
Windows 3.1 and Nokia N95, together at last!
It looks like the Nokia N95 and Windows 3.1 have finally been united! Wait… what? You read correctly, what you’re seeing here is good ‘ole Windows 3.1 installing itself on a Nokia N95. Polish developer Marcin-PRV devoted a good day’s worth of hacking to get the so-ancient-it’s-extinct Windows 3.1 OS up and running on his…
Top ten things to looks for in a Mobile
TechDigest has compiled a list of the top 10 things it would like to see in a Mobile device. I won’t spoil it and reproduce the whole list here, because (a) that would spoil it and (b) you should take a look at their site – really nicely re-designed recently. What I will do is…
Do the right thing: buy this!
Monday 23rd marks the release of the Prodigy’s new album “Invaders Must Die” – and Invaders must surely end up on your digital music player, be it on your phone, or standalone device! If you don’t know who The Prodigy are, then where have you been? Like seriously, maybe you are one of the Invaders…
Configuring IT equipment: The Time Vampire!
Whilst watching a video on the InterWeb the other day I came across the hugely amusing phrase “Time Vampire” – in case it’s not obvious, it’s a person or thing that literally seems to suck your (free/spare) time away! The video I was watching referred to a configuration screen for a piece of CE (consumer…
Need Help on a Train? SOS… er, I mean SMS For Help!
Indian Railway Police have initiated a new system to allow passengers to get help while they’re traveling by rail. The system allows passengers to send an SMS message to a designated number for immediate help. The government’s railway police constable in the area will (should) arrive and provide assistance… At least that’s the plan. In…
First Lady Michelle Obama a BlackBerry User Too!
We all know of President Barack Obama’s love for the BlackBerry. Seems as though his wife, the one-and-only First Lady Michelle Obama has a love for the device as well. Can you blame her? Ann Compton (with ABC news) has reported that Michelle is a BlackBerry user and will keep her BlackBerry at her side…
Cellphone battery explodes Chinese man’s chest!
Forget about catching on fire, this particular cellphone battery actually exploded with enough force to sever some apparently vital (as opossed to those non-vital arteries…) arteries in a Chinese man’s chest. Chinese-language site Hexun is reporting that witnesses heard a sudden, loud “bang” and then saw the man fall to the floor. Sadly, the exploding…
NetLingo: Word of the day: Hang
I love NetLingo – you’ll have heard my espouse it’s many and varied benefits before, but today there was a word of the day that rang true for me: hang – When a modem fails to hang up or when a computer fails to respond, it is said to be hung. Now, a seemingly…
Obama Caught with $30 Million Contract with RIM (gag)
Hah, just joshin’, not really, but Unconfirmed Sources paints a pretty hilarious picture of a situation where Obama is taking cash from BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion to promote the device. Let’s face it, that is one hell of a celebrity endorsement, one that not even money could buy. “I love my Blackberry. I never leave…
