HTC HD2

Posted Saturday, October 10, 2009 4:02 AM by stevecla01
Looks stunning…I really should go check this out as I think it’s out on O2 from memory. £550 without SIM from Expansys . Ouch….I guess that’s the cost of a mini computer that fits in your pocket. tweetmeme_style = 'compact'; tweetmeme_source = 'stevecla'; Read More...

A brief history of communication

Posted Monday, October 05, 2009 7:57 PM by stevecla01
What a great little video from The Carphone Warehouse on the history of communication. Sure they’ve stolen a bit from my friends at CommonCraft but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. One thing is missing (unsurprisingly) from this video though Read More...

Windows phones…are coming

Posted Wednesday, September 02, 2009 12:53 PM by stevecla01
Windows phones are coming on October 6th. Having played with a unit running 6.5 Pro I’m finally inclined to move from my 5 year relationship with a keyboard equipped Smartphone. I love the HTC Snap I have at the moment but am keen to see if the touch Read More...

Posted Monday, August 24, 2009 8:04 PM by stevecla01
We just announced Microsoft OneApp which incredibly hadn’t leaked as far as I can tell. What is it? Basically it’s a mobile application platform for feature phones – of which there are over 2bn in the world. OneApp enables some of the most popular applications Read More...

The New Phone in my life

Posted Tuesday, July 28, 2009 9:08 PM by stevecla01
Not an iPhone, not a Palm Pre, not even an Android phone….nope, it’s the one I’ve been waiting for the – the HTC Snap. Normally I’d get a review on here within a days of getting the device but I’ve had this one for a month or so now thanks to a very generous Read More...

Know Your Smartphones

Posted Monday, June 29, 2009 11:26 PM by stevecla01
I love this smartphone guide from Wired but it makes me sad (and mad). Back in 2002 or so, Microsoft was early in using the term smartphone and we insisted the world was about to move away from feature phones and adopt these so called smartphones like Read More...

iBrowz Brings RSS to Windows Mobile

Posted Saturday, May 02, 2009 11:56 AM by stevecla01
  Sarah just posted an entry about iBrowz which looks like a well presented RSS reader for Windows Mobile. Perhaps surprisingly I do very little mobile RSS reading though when I do, I flip to an iTouch and use Google Reader. I just like to have all Read More...

The Mobile Web Is Borked

Posted Thursday, April 23, 2009 8:13 PM by stevecla01
An Internet Watered Down   A cool presentation by John Pettengill who work at Razorfish (a Microsoft company). He walks us through why the mobile web is just broken and a complete compromise and then explains what it could and should look like. Unsurprisingly Read More...

HTC Snap

Posted Wednesday, April 01, 2009 11:28 PM by stevecla01
This could be my long overdue new phone. For a few years now I have kept my HTC Excalibur – it’s simply a great phone, with great ergonomics, battery life and more. It falls down in a few areas though…lack of 3G and GPS are my two main bugbears and it Read More...

Okay so maybe not everyone knows who fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi is but it caught my eye during our announcements at CTIA Wireless in Vegas today. Seems like he’ll be sprucing up some new Windows Phones with a touch of catwalk style soon. Sadly no Read More...

Windows Mobile 6.5 and Zune

Posted Sunday, March 22, 2009 1:31 AM by stevecla01
I didn’t manage to catch the Windows Mobile 6.5 session at MIX09 but after looking watching the video I’m inclined to agree with Long that it’s beginning to look like a more than adequate stop on the way to Windows Mobile 7. The UI looks pretty polished Read More...

New Microsoft ad for Windows Phones

Posted Sunday, March 15, 2009 9:20 PM by stevecla01
Wow…kudos to Andy Lees and the team. This is about the best ad I have seen Microsoft put out in….hmm, a long while. Like Joe Wilcox , I love the dude who throws his phone against the wall and then text pops up saying “be thankful for backup”. Amazing…they Read More...
