Play.com are already showing the ‘HTC G1′ (that’s the T-Mobile G1 to the rest of us) available SIM-free, available from mid-November. The details and pictures look right, with a prominent HTC logo on the side in lieu of the T-Mobile one, but this seems a bit soon after the launch to be officially sanctioned…
At £599.99 [...]
Google has finally announced Google Earth for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
All this while, folks who wanted to go round the earth on their mobile screens had to be content with Earthscape, an app similar to Google Earth, but using it’s own imaging. In fact, the developers had dropped its price from $10 to FREE.
This [...]
Not too long after the Google Maps for Mobile team announced an update for their My Location feature, the Gmail for mobile team have announced the next big version of the mobile app, version 2.0
Making the jump from 1.5.x to 2.0, a lot of exciting new features have been introduced with this release. On of [...]
Over at the Google Mobile blog, Adel and Arunesh have just updated us with some great info about a new feature added to Google Maps upcoming version. According to the entry, finding your location is going to be even more precise with the addition of the ‘My Location with Wi-Fi’ feature.Â

Wow! Doesn’t time just fly by? I’ve been away for a month – organising myself with school and the various activities I’m involved in, and it feels like forever! Never fear though, because now I’m back. Well, for once a week that is!
Now school’s are a hostile environment (well, at least mine is), and navigating [...]
If you haven’t seen this weeks Mobile Industry Review Show, then go and check it out now!
If you have seen it then you can now play with Android yourself here.
As you can imagine all the functions are not available, however for those of you who have only read about the device this is your opportunity [...]
Continue ReadingThis week, we’ve turned Google.
And courtesy of T-Mobile UK’s branding of their launch event, we’ve — generally — gone pink, too. Yes indeed, last week we were at T-Mobile’s Winter launch, checking out what’s coming for the all-important Christmas period.
The Nokia N96, the LG Renoir, the E71, one of the top Samsungs, as [...]
I’m thoroughly enjoying reading the Android perspectives of executives across the telecoms industry — and beyond. I’m really pleased to be able to bring you a slightly different viewpoint from Christian Howes, Digital Solutions Architect at web marketing & analytics leaders, WebTrends.
Over to you, Christian:

I’m delighted to be able to bring you Stefan’s viewpoints on Google Android. Formerly Master Blogger at Ringnokia.com, Stefan is a total nokia fiend. So much so he’s moved to Finland to be near the ‘mothership’ (as our very own James Whatley describes it). Although heavily involved with Nokia, I suspected that Stefan [...]

I’ve been playing around with Google Maps Mobile Streetview. Just brilliant.
In Portugal this weekend, I flicked out my E90 (running an older version, alas) and watched my taxi journey from airport to hotel. There’s something rather reassuring to see your little blue dot heading along unfamiliar streets and highways on the way to [...]
I’m sure you’ll agree with me over the fact that Google Earth is a remarkable software. The ability to virtually find and browse to any point on the earth has been implemented exceptionally well. However, being an iPhone user, I particularly miss Google Earth on the phone, more so for the sheer simplicity that the [...]
Continue ReadingWSJ, or the Wall Street Journal for those living in the 1998s, have sent out a wave of speculations today after publishing a report, according to which Google’s first Android Phone aka the HTC Dream will cost $199 on USA’s T-Mobile and will take the iPhone head on with its price tag.
The phone will feature [...]
The team behind Google Maps for Mobile have just announced a new version of the popular mobile application and brings along a couple of features that certainly add the boost to the application, which arguably the application lacked.
Most of our readers will be familiar with Street View, Google’s Magic technology that sends out little dwarfs [...]
Our man on the scene today at the Google Developer Day isn’t entirely impressed with Google’s strategy — or, more accurately, lack thereof.
Perhaps since the Developer Day was held in the geographical equivalent of the provinces (i.e. the UK), we shouldn’t take too much notice.
Here’s what he had to say:
It was an interesting day - [...]
An array of developers and interested mobile folk are at the Google Developer Day this morning in London, peering at the new Android operating system in action.
And they’re generally impressed.
Our man on the ground is rather excited.
Here’s our man’s quick summary:
Just seen an Android demo. OS is very slick and iPhone-y. Browser appeared a bit [...]

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 [...]
So says Eric Schmidt, because mobile is more targeted — and Google targets. That’s the message reported by Jeff Jarvis (highlighting some tidbits from a recent CNBC interview).
When in doubt about the mobile industry, I always sit back and think of Eric.
“They’ve seen the writing on the wall, surely?” I tell myself, “They know [...]
Android is getting closer and closer to hitting the shelves. Google’s Android developers blog has just announced that a beta SDK of Android is now ready for use.
Google released a very early version of the SDK late last year and after gathering up all the feedback, it’s now releasing a beta proper, which it’s promising [...]
As Google hunts for new ways to make money from wildly popular YouTube - make that any way to make money from YouTube - it’s started testing ads on the mobile version of the video sharing site.
From Google’s mobile blog:
You may have noticed that we started running a test of display ads on select [...]
Continue ReadingI’m so over the iPhone. The first Android phone? Now that’s some hype I’m willing to buy into - and thanks to T-Mobile for helping me do it. Yes, according to The New York Times, the first Android will come from HTC (yes, we know) and will go on sale exclusively through T-Mobile first.
Another T-Mobile [...]

The search giant has come up with a load of [...]
