New Phones for Old
Last week I had a meeting with some people at CeBIT in Hanover and took the opportunity to have a quick look round for a couple of hours. To put this in perspective, it’s about as ambitious as being in the UK and taking half a day to look round London - all you’re going to get is [...]

TOMMIE Gets it Sorted
01.12.07 | Permalink | Comments OffWe don’t cover many enterprise type applications here, but that’s no reason not to when one comes along that’s neat and produced by some old pals, which you can take as a sort of declaration of interest. Having said that, no matter how well you might know me, I won’t write about your stuff unless [...]

MobMart: Showing eBay How To Use Mobile
When I was in London in October, I had the good fortune that my visit coincided with one of the Swedish Beers put on by the lovely Helen Keegan, and as expected, I met a great bunch of new people and caught up with some old friends, like the Future Platforms crew. I also met [...]

Google Drops Gmail Mobile App
11.02.06 | Permalink | 4 CommentsGoogle has announced a Java-based Gmail application, adding to the mobile web version of Gmail that’s been around for a while. At first glance, it seems pretty decent — it’s very simple and straightforward, and works pretty much like you’d expect, with zero configuration. I’ve installed it on a Nokia E61, and I’m hard pressed [...]

Cashless Bus Tickets
09.21.06 | Permalink | 5 CommentsRobbing bus drivers of their takings from bus ticket sales is apparently a big problem in parts of Sweden, so much so that they stopped selling tickets on buses. But now they’ve switched to an sms based ticket system where punters get sent an sms with an expiry time built-in.
I assume this is going to lead [...] -

Pressies by SMS
09.19.06 | Permalink | Comments OffBeing so involved involved in the new new world of wap these days, it’s useful to be jerked back to reality and be reminded that sms is actually far bigger and far more mainstream for the majority of people.
So I liked this idea from the Netherlands, that allows you to send your buddies a present [...] -

Back Up by Zyb
09.18.06 | Permalink | 3 CommentsOne of the missing services that aren’t provided by operators and handset manufacturers is good back up of data sitting on the device itself. Anyone who has ever lost a phone or dropped one into some kind of pool of water that seem so irresistible to mobiles will know the pain involved.

Ryanair Scoops the World with Mobile Calls
Cheeky Irish upstart Ryanair (actually corporate behemoth) is the first airline in Europe to allow passengers mobile and Crackberry access on its flights. The deal, via OnAir, will enable mobile devices from next Summer to be used via the airline’s own network at rates that mirror the pillaging roaming charges set by operators ie very expensive and you’ll only [...]
