In an ideal world, I would ask for happiness, and the end of this dismal time of year. But of course I’m not here to discuss that! No, no, no… What do I want from the world of Mobile this Christmas?
Firstly, I call for originality.
I personally think originality should be the first aspect of any [.....

So reckon some researchers in India. I picked this up via The Statesman which is apparently one of India’s oldest English newspapers.
It is not quite the fastest way to cook an egg, but researchers have found that if a raw egg is placed in between four switched-on cell phones, it will be ready...

If you’re a true telecoms geek (and lets face it, if you’re reading MIR, you’re well on your way) then you’ve thought, nay dreamed, about having your own private mobile network. Even for the non-techies amongst us (I’ve been told there are some), the allure of not having to pay any money to the Vodafones...

Nearly two weeks ago, Ewan announced he was sending me an iPhone, and simultaneously I announced I really do not like the device. My ramble about the iPhone only summed up a few of my displeasures about the device, but I was more than willing to accept I maybe wrong.
Firstly, I should point out, the...

I’m being serious here. Since my time here as Mobile Industry Review I’ve read hundreds of news articles on the latest goings on with the mobile industry. Yes a lot of the so called news is terribly “boring”, but every now and then, I have to sit back laugh, and ask “why”?
Ricky kindly sent me [...]

I am, for some inane, strange reason, on a PAYG tariff with one of my T-Mobile accounts. I asked them, ages ago, to swap me to their lowest plan — which was some UFIX Talk thing.
I’m not entirely sure what’s going on. They are billing me per month. Right?
Yet I’ve got a price...

Fred Wilson, VC extrodonnaire at Union Square Ventures has published a list of the top 10 things he wants to see on his mobile.
I read down the list going ‘yeah, uh huh, yeah’ — and all sorts of companies and products were popping into my head.
Fred — the good news: A lot of the...

I’m not sure if you’re already aware, but Ewan has sent me a first generation iPhone for me to have a play around with. But also, I’m not too hung up on the device either!
I’ve mentioned this before (and no, I’m not complaining), but the iPhone really isn’t my cup of tea. I’m not that [...]

A little while ago I got a note from 3. “Would you like to try out one of our new handsets?” asked the chap.
“Sure!” I said. I’m always interested to see what’s coming next.
The chap wouldn’t be drawn on the identity of the handset. Quite a good idea, if you...

So you’re in the business of making watches that people buy to make themselves look good, yes?
Your business has had it’s lunch eaten by the mobile phone industry — to the point that almost everyone uses their mobile to tell the time. I don’t bother with a watch for this reason...

My iPhone 3G is behaving like a total dog when it comes to battery power.
I got on the train at 10:11am with full battery, right? I switched on the mp3 player, I checked some email, I arsed about on Facebook, I located myself a few times, blah de blah. I generally ‘used’ the device [...]
