Shag Phone Revisited
Following a comment by best selling business authorTomi Ahonen on my post about sex and mobile search on Tuesday, I was inspired to raid the extensive MobHappy archives for this post on the Shag Phone – in case you hadn’t seen it.
Tomi pointed out that recent European surveys had found that between 41% (Innocent Italians) [...]
The Frustrations of Java
As Jonathan Schwartz, the famous blogging COO of Sun Microsystems, steps up to take over the big job from Scott McNealy, it’s a good time to ponder where “Java Platform, Micro Edition” as we must now call it, or J2ME as it used to be known, is actually going.

Tex2Me Offers Free Messaging
Earlier today, I wrote about Hotxt, which offers cheap messaging via a Java application over GPRS. I concluded that I was a little luke warm about it, despite their high profile investor, and that it had usability issues and would be more ballsy if it were free.
SMS Text News linked to the story and MobHappy [...]
Is Hotxt Hot?
Hotxt has been attracting quite a lot of attention in the UK, not the least because it’s backed by Dragon’s Den entrepreneur Doug Richard. Dragon’s Den is a TV programme where wannabe entrepreneurs pitch their wares to a panel of VCs.
Hotxt is a mobile messaging service that offers an all-you-can eat menu for £1 ($1.79) [...]
The RAZR’s Successor, or, More Of The Same
One more RAZR-beating post before the weekend: Engadget Mobile has pictures of what’s rumored to be the RAZR 2, or “Canary”. It’s still thin, looks a bit narrower, has a glossy finish, and a giant bulbous bottom. Yay.
The best bit, though: they say “it uses the same software build as the RAZR V3x” — so [...]
