A couple of years ago now, I heard a rumour that mobile (cell) phone carriers were going to introduce advertising during phone calls.

This has been going for weeks already! I already wrote about the first and second experience and this third installment is my cry for help! Everything I have tried to do has gone to no avail. The 39 comments on the second post just go to show that I am not the only one pulling my [...]

I could have just posted a comment in Greg’s post about the iPhone’s SDK and about how scared to hell RIM should be about it. But I think I have quite a mouthful to say about this and since I’ve got the keys to this blog, you’ll have to put up with my long [...]

One of the Cnet Bloggers, Adam Richardson, posted a really interesting story about his lost and now dead BlackBerry 8700. The device was squashed by a car after he lost it. The crazy part is that some very nice woman stuck the SIM card into another phone and found some text messages so she could return [...]

Well I’m on the other side of the world and we don’t even ‘Officially’ have the iPhone here yet, so I will do my best…
The ‘Software Developers Kit’ or SDK was released today, or was it yesterday, as it’s already tomorrow here, but if it’s tomorrow, why haven’t we got the phone of today that’s [...]

If you want a good laugh you should read the Reuters Oddly Enough article from yesterday titled “Cemetery full, Mayor tells locals not to die.”
In short a small town in France called Sarpourenx have been told that if they don’t already have a plot in the current cemetery then they are forbidden to die. The [...]

I know that this is nothing new but since today has been such a slow news day I thought I would rehash some oldies but goodies. GrandCentral has to be one of my favorite services. It is free and allows you to have one phone number, provided by GrandCentral, that tries to reach you at [...]

I read this interesting article last week and felt like posting about it immediately. Too bad I couldn’t because I’ve been so very extremely busy, but I guess it’s still about time. Unfortunately, it’s always time. Blackberries and mobile devices have been around for years, but it doesn’t look like the problem is going away [...]

Zach at BoyGenius has scored a picture of the ugliest bluetooth headset I have seen to date. The headset is called Roadrunner with larynx microphone. The idea of the headset is to use a microphone on your bone/neck to pick up vibrations/voice nice and clean. The problem is that it makes you look like your [...]
