- Napster dumps copy protection; still NOWHERE on mobile
Link: Napster joins move away from copy protection | Media | The Guardian
Napster, the once illegal music-sharing website and now major music retailer, plans to sell downloads in the MP3 format, joining the many companies removing copying protection from online tracks.
Napster said yesterday it would start offering the format from the second quarter in a […]
- Does Apple understand GSM?
I’m firmly convinced that Apple does not fully comprehend the GSM standard, and more specifically, the concept of SIM cards. I have an iPhone, and I wanted to use my AT&T SIM card in it. Shouldn’t be a problem, right? Well, I’m only borrowing the iPhone for a bit, and I don’t want to give […]
- HO HO HO MERRRRRY CHRISTMAS
HO HO HO!
Stick on the cheesy Christmas music. If you’re one of the 3 million workers in the UK that the London Telegraph reckons are planning a 2 week break over Christmas, nice one! 21 billion pounds is the calculated cost to industry for these two weeks of seasonal excitement.
Fear not. […]
- o2’s ‘Memova’ service offers email-to-phone by MMS; synchronisation
Well I like the sound of this. I might be a bit of a real-time email snob with my reliance on the likes of Good Mobile Messaging but I’m a fan of any service that helps make mobile email simple for your average normob (”normal mobile user”)…

- The Mobile Web and the ‘m.’ solution
This week, Whatley’s having a look at the Mobile Web, the ‘m.’ solution and web to mobile rendering engines.
Ok – on the back of yesterday’s announcement of the new Mobile Pownce (http://m.pownce.com) site, I thought I’d tackle a subject this week that I (along with quite a few others I suspect) have quite strong […]
- The £27,000 ‘unlimited’ mobile phone bill
Did you catch this story recently? This poor chap in Darlington, North of England, got himself a Vodafone Anytime 800 contract and also purchased the 7.50 ‘unlimited internet’ option. All was good until he received a bill for £27,000 from Vodafone.
Why? He failed to read the small print. He thought, like […]
- Taking a firm hand with firmware
This week Whatley’s looking at firmware and comparing the two giants, Nokia and Apple…
- - - -Two weeks ago, after writing my review/rant about the N81 8GB, Stefan Constantinescu (of IntoMobile fame) left a comment:
“With the new N95 firmware out that breathes new life into the device I too can’t understand why anyone would […]
- Tryphone Beta Lets You Play With Phones
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could play with the latest handsets and get an idea of the User Interface, without having to bother going into a store and swatting the salespeople away? The folks behind Tryphone.com think so, too. They’ve setup online demos that let you test-drive popular handsets, right in your browser.
Obviously […]
- Nokia: Dying in America?
It’s just fascinating walking around on the ground here in San Francisco observing the mobile habits of the population. Like my experiences in LA in October, San Francisco isn’t that representative of the country as a whole. If anything, it’s a lot more advanced than… I dunno… Somewhere in Nebraska. Silicon […]
- Whatley on Wednesday: Vodafone’s MusicStation
[ A wardrobe malfunction, that is, I was on a plane for hours on end, prevented me from publishing this at the appointed hour - Ewan. Now, over to Whatley…]
I woke up on Monday morning with the intention of writing this week’s ‘Whatley on Wednesday’ piece about firmware and firmware upgrades.
Recently a fellow Mobile […]
