Mobile Review: Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc

August 14, 2011 by Graham Gibson Leave a Comment

Sony Ericsson have been among the earliest providers of consumer friendly smartphone technology, long before the term ‘smartphone’ gained widespread traction among today’s increasingly mobile-savvy shoppers. Throughout the early to mid noughties they produced a line of Symbian-driven touchscreen handsets that helped define a vision of what convergence devices had to offer. Over the past […]

The Imerj smartpad

June 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you’re interested in the evolution of hardware and the convergence of devices then this is shaping up to be a good year. We’ve got laptops like the Fujitsu Lifebook TH40/D moving towards the tablet space but there’s also phone-like devices moving from the other side of the spectrum. For example, Imerj has a device […]

Nokia N9 – a quick summary

June 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Nokia N9 looks nice and I suspect it’ll appeal most to brave IT geeks who want to be different. The N9 runs on MeeGo. Nokia are currently rushing to get their WP7 handsets out to market. This is the first pure touch screen phone, according to Nokia, who point out there are no front-facing […]

Steampunk smartphone

June 16, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 7 Comments

Richard Clarkson, aka @Clarkson_Rich, has designed this simply stunning steampunk phone. He calls it a “rotary mechanical smartphone” and I can see why. Clarkson writes that he wanted to include more feeling and life into our digital technology. I think he’s succeeded. Don’t you?

SkyDrive syncing for WP7

June 9, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Right now, as this blog post is written, the Open Mobile summit is on and Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop is speaking. He’s denying, again, that Nokia is for sale. There’s been a host of cracking comments from him. In fact, Nokia themselves have just retweeted; “Nokia are making lots of contributions to WP7 s/w, not […]

Sumo Science at Aardman create world’s smallest stop-motion

September 20, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Sumo Science (these people) are an animation house and they’ve landed a sweet gig from Nokia that’s allowed them to film the world’s smallest stop-motion animation. The team from Sumo made the film “at Aardman”. I suppose that could be a bit like saying a movie was filmed at Pinewood Studios; a way to attach […]

Freeland Studio wows us with the steampunk iPhone

July 19, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This shows you the power of Etsy. Freeland Studios are clearly a talented bunch. However, their website is large in flash and may have only been seen by a few people until their success with this steampunk iPhone holder. Their iRetrofone Steampunk device, on sale at Etsy for $450, has the attention of the bloggers. […]

Fork phone – cutlery for your iPhone

March 5, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Someone at a more popular blog than this one (erm, which doesn’t narrow it down much at all! ;)) suggested this might be the cutest cutlery based iPhone holder you’re every likely to see. I think they might be right! The best part is that it’s dead cheap (well, it’s currently dead cheap) and you […]
