It’s time for a new feature here at Mobile Industry Review I am going to be reviewing S60 applications on a weekly basis. If you want to share an application with the readers or if you are a developer and you want to give your application some coverage then drop me a line (ricky@mobileindustryreview.com). Quick [...]
Continue ReadingUIQ users, I bring some happy news. Actually, only if you’ve heard about SlingPlayer will you be able to make sense of the following.
We just got information that the SlingPlayer Mobile has now been announced for Symbian UIQ phones. It’s been a while that the folks at Sling Media have toyed with us to give [...]
Last week I wrote about Twitter, why I’m a fan and how I use it. This week I’m going to look at some of the applications I use to improve the Twitter experience and make it easier to use. The Twitter API has generated a vast number of Twitter related applications and these are just [...]

I’ve played with quite a few of these types of services over the years. I’ve always liked the idea of having my desktop and my ‘data’ in [...]
The awesome folks at Qik, the free service that lets you stream live video from your mobile phone, have just announced on their blog that the service now supports newer HTC phones.

Twitter cropped up in the news recently here in the UK with the announcement that it could no longer justify the cost of delivering Twitter messages by SMS outside the US, Canada & India. Whilst this was a useful feature, the announcement was hardly surprising given that it was costing Twitter up to $1,000 per [...]

When Ewan asked me to review a SMS text based cocktail recipe service, I must admit to jumping at the chance. I love alcohol - the photos of me on Facebook minus eyebrows are a testament to this! So [...]
Phoneboy has the details.
He was trying to find his local Wal-Mart with Nokia Maps.
Predictably, it didn’t quite work.
Google Maps found it perfectly.
Gahhh.
Is that a failure of Nokia Maps? Or is it Phoneboy’s failure for not providing Nokia Maps with the exact location details?
I was just browsing around the internet looking for something to do with the iPhone. I’ll admit, for the most part I wasn’t impressed until I came across Mobiscope.
I’m not a security conscious person, and nor am I one to want to set up a webcam with it’s own I.P address so I can follow [...]
Lastminute.com’s FoneFood application I blogged last week has got location-aware today courtesy of Google’s new Mobile Gears geolocation API. See here for more details.
Congratulations to Marko and the team for snagging such an impressive partner in Google and getting the Lab’s first big mobile project as one of their two launch apps!
Here’s the Google video [...]
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 had a chat a little while ago with Mark Curtis, top chap at mobile flirting extravaganza, Flirtomatic.
I’ve long been watching Flirtomatic’s growth — and I hold them to be a shining beacon of the mobile data industry. They’re one of the first services I can recall who actually designed their entire operation around [...]
When Ewan informed me of a music downloading service for £1.99 a week, that was actually good, I honestly thought he was pulling my leg. It was either that, or the service was seriously flawed.
I was wrong.
MusicStation is quite simply, pretty amazing. What I thought really couldn’t work, or ever be good (especially on a [...]
You’ll need a jailbroken iPhone to play, but if you’d like to be amongst the very first to check out QIK’s iPhone 3G live streaming video service, this is the page you need: http://qik.com/sign_up.
Here’s Michael from QIK introducing it and demonstrating it:
It works with jailbroken iPhone and iPhone 3G running 2.0 of the software. [...]
Continue ReadingI don’t know about anyone else, but I hate the Olympics. So in light of the continual boredom that is likely to present itself during this time, I’m going to try and find applications and websites to entertain us all.
Today’s site/application is Vtap; a mobile solution to watching videos on your mobile. It grabs videos [...]
I had a note in the other day from Ed Lea. Ed has knocked up a new iPhone Application, now available in the iTunes store. He wondered if we’d be interested in reviewing it. Of course! In fact, here’s what he wrote:
I’ve been reading the various commentaries you guys have been [...]
