Palm dump Windows Mobile, future phones will ONLY use WebOS
The Palm Pre is already one of the phones of the year, and that’s before it’s even been released in the UK. Currently, the UK has only got one Palm available (well, officially), and that’s the Treo Pro which, if you didn’t kno...
The world’s first Windows XP phone WILL go into production!
Way, way back in the dim and distant days of yore June, I ran a blog post about the xpPhone, the first ever phone in the world to run on Windows XP. Back then, I said that if it ever actually made it into production, I wanted to have a play with one,...
Palm Pre gets a baby sister in the shape of the Palm Pixi
Not long after the Palm Pre officially popped into the world, rumours abounded that a second WebOS would soon be on the way, a non-slidy phone rumoured to be called the Eos. Well, the phone is, in fact, real. Only it’s not called the Eos. Nope,...
The seven most influential mobile phones EVER made
I was wandering about online, today (as one does), when I came across a story on Mobile Gazette about the three most influential mobile phones of the last five years. Now, granted, that post they did is nearly a year old, and if you were to update it...
Canadian Palm Pre ad is very, very, very, very, VERY similar to iPhone ads
Say what you like about the Palm Pre ads what’ve had that Tamara Hope being a hippy in them, but at least they were trying something different, and for that, I applaud them. She may have a hint of the kid out The Shining, but they stand out fro...
Palm Pre to be in the remake of The Prisoner?
According to IntoMobile, the Palm Pre is going to be, in some way, involved in the remake of The Prisoner. To which I reply: “What the hell?! They’ve remade The Prisoner?! How could I not know about that?!” For many who’s not ...

New Sony Ericsson Satio ad appears on Youtube
Now, I’m not sure if this one comes under the heading of an advert specifically for the Sony Ericsson Satio, or whether it’s more of a teaser for the Entertainment Unlimited series in general, but either way, this new ad that’s popp...
iTunes update blocks the Palm Pre from using the service
You remember how I told you that the Palm Pre was employing a really sneaky way to access iTunes, and that Apple were getting all huffy about it? And you remember how I predicted it would get messy? Oh yeah. It has. According to Business Week, Apple ...
Rumour: iPhone soon to be available on Orange and T-Mobile?
A persistent rumour’s been knocking around for a while, stating that O2 are going to lose exclusivity on the iPhone. It’s been neither confirmed nor denied by everyone involved (well they wouldn’t would they?), but still the rumour ...
New Palm Pre ad is, weirdly, both calming and ever-so-slightly creepy
Mobile phone adverts have had a tendency, in recent times, to tend towards the bizarre. There’s that Samsung ad from yesterday, with its phone-piloting space robot thing, and let’s not forget all those T-Mobile ads with hundreds of people...
LG Watch Phone will launch on Orange UK in August
There was a time, in the not too distant past, when I mithered constantly, all the time, about getting a watch phone. Oh, how I banged on about being able to recreate the joys of living in a Bond film or a Dick Tracy comic, only without getting shot ...

After weeks of speculation, Palm have finally sent out a press release naming their exclusive network in the UK, and in a move sure to surprise absolutely no-one, it’s going to be O2. The news has come straight from the horse’s mouth, in ...
The curious case of the Meizu M8 - the phone that won’t die
Ages, and ages, and ages, and ages ago, I did a blog post about Chinese clone phones. Like, a year and a half ago. And one of the things I noted in there was that Chinese cloners seemed to be starting to get away from just cloning stuff, almost like ...
Palm Pre - UK launch details to be disclosed next week?
I’ve been going on about the Palm Pre for absolutely ages, now, since roughly 13 seconds after the unveiled it. And one thing you may remember me saying (more than once), is that I’m getting really rather annoyed at the Americans getting ...
Palm to licence WebOS out to other phone manufacturers?
Considering I’ve gone on about it so much, everyone should know, by now, that I really rather like the Palm Pre. I think it looks dead pretty, and the interface, that unique WebOS beastie, is chuffin’ stunning. Well, according to Engadget...
Palm Pre - 1 million apps downloaded since launch?
You know how it is, when you see a phone, and you instantly know it’s going to be a hit, way before it even goes on sale? Well, that was me, when I first saw the Palm Pre, and given the rumours of how many it’s sold since it was launched ...

Adobe Flash Player 10 on its way to mobile phones!
With the modern world so obsessed with phones that can go online (myself included, ‘cos I still haven’t got over the novelty of it), one of the things people have been waiting for is proper Flash support on their phone. There are a fair f...
Motorola Morrison - Moto’s first Android phone?
Ah, Motorola. They used to be the giants of the phone world. Y’know, back in the 80s and 90s. Nowadays, though, it’s fair to say they’re really, really not one of the giants of the phone world. They went from the phenomenal success ...

Rumour - Nokia N97 Mini coming to Vodafone?
By now, everyone must be aware of the Nokia N97. It’s a beast of a phone that really does look the canine’s conkers. However, the N97 might not be the only version of the, er, N97 that we see before the end of the year. According to IntoM...

Photos leaked - is this the first smartphone from Dell?
There’ve been rumours about Dell crashing their way into the mobile world for a while, now, but as yet, nothing’s popped up on the ol’ industry radar. However, that situation may have changed, today, as according to Engadget Mobile,...
Doom - tiny, pixelated space marines coming to Palm Pre?
Ah, Doom. The game that, along with Wolfenstein 3D, really kicked the First-Person-Shooter genre into the highlight. Those were the days; I can remember sitting at my cousin’s PC (that was way before I got a PC of my own, when I was still using...
Convergence gone mad - Palm Pre doubles as a cheese knife??
Convergence is the big buzzword in mobile phone circles, but I doubt anyone saw this particular instance of convergence coming: the Palm Pre, currently doing the rounds in America, can be used as… A cheese knife?? To quote the Raving Rabbids, &...
Nokia to make phones that get power out of thin air
One thing I always love, ‘cos it’s really sci-fi-ish, is seeing devices that can be charged up wirelessly. I reckon it’s probably because I first saw the idea of wireless power in Action Force: The Movie (GI Joe, to any American rea...
