We’ve got a lot of dust coming.
I favour the direct approach when you’re changing things around. I always like to have a poke about newly built stuff, whilst it’s being built, so we’re adopting that viewpoint with SMS Text News.
In the next few days — in fact, today, if you’re especially careful [...]
I’ve been busy working on my editorial for the newsletter. There’s a lot moving with SMS Text News — including a name change. Final deliberations and confirmations are taking place right now — under the self imposed pressure of a newsletter announcement this week. If you’d like to get first dibs on [...]

Ben Smith, SMS Text News contributor and Podcast Master, is heading off to Beijing this summer for the Olympics.
He’s spending 10 days with the GB Paralympic team. And when he’s not looking after our genius basketballers (amongst others), he is hunting for things to review and test — think: navigation, city guides, language tools, [...]
Good morning and welcome to our first video podcast. We’re trying something different this week, as per my post last night.
We take a look at Sagem, we discuss 3, we cast a glance toward the inevitable iPhone availability discussion, we discuss the Nokia Tube — and Dan and Ben get overrun by some testosterone-fueled [...]
We’ve decided to mix things up a bit. Instead of sitting around in the virtual dark with just audio, this week we’re trialing video.
Contributors Dan Lane, Ben Smith and I headed off to the Centre of Her Majesty’s Empire (that is, Buckingham Palace) and talked-to-camera.
I’m going to see if we can rip the audio [...]
There’s just a matter of hours left before the entries close for the SMS Text News Awards close.
In a little under four hours the email address will be switched off and a small handful of dedicated people will examine each of the hundreds of entries to determine who has it and who, (in the case [...]
Hello!
‘Tis I. Ewan. Your friendly mobile blogger from SMS Text News.
Ah hah!
You’ll have noticed that we’ve posted quite regularly about the upcoming SMS Text News Awards.
We’ve had hundreds of entries so far so thank you very much indeed to all who have taken the time to do so.
1. Entry. You need to [...]
I’m on the hunt for some companies to profile here on SMS Text News and I’ve got some availability this coming Friday afternoon.
If you’d like to meet, drop a mail over to me — ewan@smstextnews.com.
Just a polite reminder. The deadline is looming for submissions to the SMS Text Awards. We’ve had hundreds of entries for the 20 categories and the deadline in next week- the 25th July.
Somehow I have a foreboding feeling a handful of us will be going blind with reading over the next couple of [...]
We’re going to be launching an exclusive weekly newsletter shortly, but first, we’re on the hunt for any newsletter services you think are worth it. I’ve had a bit of a struggle finding one I like, so any suggestions? Comment below or krystal@smstextnews.com
Continue ReadingKeep your eyes peeled for the very first SMS Text News video — featuring Mark Tynan, founder of ShopQwik, talking about the challenges of mobile development and the possibilities of using DeviceAnywhere for their on-going mobile development.

Express thanks must go to o2 who have sent me over an iPhone 3G to review. I have it in my hand and it is more solid, more desirable, … just better than the 2G iPhone.
Here then is a quick and dirty picture of it (taken, with a bit of [...]
You know this whole Symbian Foundation thing? (i.e. recently Nokia actually bought Symbian and stuck it into the ‘Symbian Foundation) Well, I’m not sold on it. Not yet.
I just got a news release in from Nokia telling me that endorsement for the foundation grows, thus:
The initial board members of the Symbian Foundation have [...]
We’re doing our best to try and work out exactly how many folk are listening. It’s a bind, a total bind. There are oodles of stats and clicks and download notification engines to look at.
In the end you have you stick up your hands and say,… ‘Er, I reckon this is probably about [...]
We’ve had more than 300 entries for the SMS Text News Awards ‘08 already. It’s pretty shocking, and I wasn’t quite aware I was letting myself in for so much reading, but we’re now electing a board of judges…
It’s a fantastic response and I don’t think we’ve seen the end of the entries by any [...]

I first met the Chief Executive and Chief Marketing Officer of DeviceAnywhere (formerly known as MobileComplete) in a briefing late last year. I’d heard of the company quite a few times. It’s a name that comes up regularly whenever I’m talking to developers. At the briefing, I had a chance to check [...]
Continue ReadingI tuned into the SMS Text News podcast (number 9) this morning from the Desert Island. Instead of using the Dell Ultralight M1330’s (rather nifty) speakers, I plugged in the Polycom Communicator C100 (it’s USB). It’s a bit of genius. Of course it does voice really well.. I’ve got a post on [...]
Continue ReadingFor all those who aren’t interested one jot about the iPhone, look away now. We’ll put ‘iPhone’ in the subject of any related posts just in case you really don’t care.
We’ve got a lot of (contrasting) opinion and perspective coming in from readers and contributors so standby for a bit of an Apple-fest, although [...]
We’re about to distribute this release shortly…
SMS Text News launches consultancy practice
Blog moves into analyst territory
June 10, London. SMS Text News, the world’s most influential blog on the mobile industry, is proud to announce it has launched a consultancy and research arm of its business in a bid to help more companies succeed.
The new section [...]
It is a truth universally acknowledged that SMS Text News readers are very good looking and sexually attractive.
It is for this reason that I bring the following news to your attention: LG is hunting for a style icon — that is, a person — to front their upcoming advertising campaign. One imagines they’re [...]
Next month, starting June 16th, we’ll be bringing you SMS Text News live from a desert island in the middle of nowhere.
I’m going to be exploring the possibility of working remotely. I’ve emailed Iridium to see if they can lend us a satellite data system to enable us to produce the site. The [...]
I’ve had enough of hearing absolutely nothing from Canada in a mobile context.
The only memorable thing I can tell you about is RIM. And Rogers executives who knew nothing about mobile (this was, admittedly, a few years ago, I trust the situation has changed). And the enterprising chaps at Bell who introduced unlimited [...]
This looks like a genius piece of technology — see the video below!
