I've noticed that there is surge of voice mobile applications on the scene lately:Grand Central: Google bought these guys and switched it to an invite-only service while in beta (and at the same time, eliminated the ability for you to upload your own custom ring tones, choosing now from just the list they provide). The concept is to provide a ...

I recently downloaded Live Search Mobile onto my smartphone. One of the best features about it is that they have categorised local amenities so that if you want to to find (say) your nearest restaurant it really is very easy to do. The high-level categories are:ActivitiesGovernment and CommunityHealth and FitnessHotels and ...

I’ve now had my Motorola Q for a week or so and I’ve decided to keep it and sell the Treo 700w. I’ve also found that carrying a Motorola Q on the New York PATH or Ferry seems to be a good way to meet new people who say “Hey, is that a Q?” No one ever asked me if that was a Treo so I think the coolness factor has to at little a small consideration ...

It would appear that I cannot resist trying out the latest Microsoft mobile devices and so I am now the proud owner of the new Motorola Q SmartPhone from Verizon. I’ll spend this week deciding if I want to keep it over my Treo 700w. As much as I like this device, you only have one chance to make a good first impression and Motorola and Verizon ...

I've owned many combination PDA and Phone devices. I owned one of the first black and white Handspring Treo 180 units and moved to the colour version when it was released. Since that time I've had the Audiovox SMT 5600 SmartPhone and then switched to Verizon and got the Samsung i730 but now I've come full circle and own the new Treo ...

The downside to flying from New York to Chicago on a regular basis is that you know there are going to be delays, especially as we move towards Winter and this last trip to Chicago was to be no exception. We pulled away from the gate on time around 5:30 and then sat on the ground for the next 2 and half hours while we waited for a storm to pass ...

Over the last few years, I've been a consultant for a major IT Services company; worked for a UK-based support services company; contracted for Australia’s largest independent magazine distributor; worked in-house designing and project managing a Europe-wide infrastructure refresh for a major fashion design, marketing and retail organisation; and ...

For a few years now, it's been becoming increasingly difficult to buy a mobile phone handset which was both stylish and a good phone without also getting a whole load of distractions (games, camera, etc.). Now, I have a smartphone (a Nokia 6600), which is connected to my private number and my work phone (a Nokia 6310i), which is just really good ...

I've received this from a couple of sources and it seems to be both genuine and a really good idea.  Since last Thursday's attacks in London, this campaign has gained a lot of momentum and many people will already have received e-mail about this but just in case you haven't seen it, then I'm sending it to your feed reader! The East Anglian ...

Following yesterday's atrocities in London, it was widely reported that the mobile phone networks collapsed under the strain of those caught up in the chaos trying to contact their friends, family, work colleagues and vice versa. In a statement from Vodafone yesterday lunchtime: ''The news networks have been reporting that Vodafone have shut ...
