Altough Handango will not be a distribution partner for my wares much longer due to the new realtime system that collides with my DRM system, it still serves one very important function once a year: it posts its yardstick documents.
Those papers cover trends in mobile application business, how prices change, which categories were hot… our [...]

Dear customers, editors, readers, and handheld users:
Tuesday was Valentine’s Day, but the spirit of the occasion is still with us! In Austria, we use this opportunity to thank everyone who helped us become what we are now!

The 3GSM World Congress is jumping with fun stuff and more great advancements for all you mobile users out there. Today Skype announced it’s latest version for the Pocket PC, version 2.0 which has a slew of great stuff.
“Skype for Pocket PC 2.0 delivers greater flexibility for callers who want to make free calls [...]

Registered customers are what keep us alive. However, they can be annoying - especially if you are hungry and tired! The temptation to “let the customer wait” is high.
A few hours of delay should not hurt anyone - or will they? In fact, there is a high chance that they will. A German TV station [...]

Those who aren’t blessed with a GPS unit can use an online mapping service such as Google Maps. Well Volkswagen figured why not take the best of the Web mapping features, 3D maps, and slap ‘em into their cars? That’s what the German People Car will be doing with help from Google and nVidia. Putting [...]

Austria apperently is full of teenagers who are willing to pay loads of money for ringtones and mobile phone stuff? These ads have appeared all over Vienna in the last few days.
Here is a little 3gp video made in a subway station (don’t listen to the sound - I know that the grammar sucks).

There’s nothing more I like than when you can merge new technologies together that started off for completely different purposes. 3dTracking is one such example.
Taking GPS hardware and Internet connectivity and coupling it with Google Maps, you can now track where you or someone else are, live. All trips are even recorded for later [...]

LAS VEGAS, Jan 4 - Combining the optimum in mobility, voice quality and ease of use, Philips Electronics is teaming up with global Internet communications company Skype to introduce a new Internet phone, the VoIP321.

You know, Christmas shopping can be very tiring and time consuming. One of the nicest things about our technology lifestyle is that it saves us time. But what to do for the kid that wants the new video iPod …with DVDs already ripped and copied onto them?

Skweezer is my favorite site to use while surfing the web on my Pocket PC. It takes all those big images and squeezes them down to fit my small LCD screen and reformats the page

Most new cell phones have Internet access. Unfortunately, mobile surfing is still too expensive for everyday surfing, blogging, or forum posting. Hopefully, prices will go down as VoWLAn and other new techniques hit the consumer market.
Meanwhile, I will use my cell phone browser only in emergency situations - like when I was in California this [...]

After the events of the last couple of years, I thought you guys might like to get behind this idea. From NHS:
A Cambridge-based paramedic has launched a national campaign with Vodafone to encourage people to store emergency contact details in their mobile phones.

I love my iPod and I pretty much love anything iPod related. If I hear the word ‘iPod’ in a sentence, my ears perk up and my attention is drawn forward. So when I saw this new feature from etchamac, I was very interested by it. Starting their fame with etching words [...]

Sort of reminds me of some sort of cool information manager, but not really of the PIM variety.

Mobile content is hot right now. Whether it be video, ringtones or music - it is burning up the sales chart right now! Well, Vodafone is getting into a the syndication side of moving content. Take a closer look for yourself…

Maps from the web have been around nearly as long as the world wide web itself. I can still remember the first time I used MapQuest and smiled when it quickly mapped out my route before my eyes. Things got even better when turn-by-turn directions blessed our browsers and now you can find [...]

So, AOL is going to be offering mobile services, eh? I don’t know about you, but I am beginning to feel like services end of things should be left to a company that has a track record in the mobile sector. Being that AOL still has a lot of work to do in the desktop [...]

I’ve been using XM Satellite radio since it’s roll out in November of 2001 and have never listened to FM or AM since. Seriously, never! I can’t even imagine listening to commercials, static, and potty mouth DJ’s anymore now that I’ve been spoiled silly with my CD quality satellite radio. With it’s [...]

I think if Nextel wants to keep their current customers, not to mention obtain new customers and increase market share, they’re going to need to do a little more for the average consumer. They have some great deals for businesses, government offices and educational organizations, but they don’t appear willing to extend the same benefits [...]

The new company, Sprint Nextel, will spin off Sprint’s local telecommunications and concentrate on ruling the push-to-talk
market.
Sprint will combine its upcoming CDMA EV-DO network with Nextel’s P2T network to make [...]
