I was at a family party at the weekend, when my Mum said ‘Did you see the advert in The Times today about that new gadget’. She couldn’t remember the details but it did everything, got wound up and never needed batteries.  This was a surprise to me for a couple of reasons. Firstly [...]

Stephen Fry is a writer, actor, and all round clever chap. He’s also one of those people who’s opinion i’m interested in on just about any subject. That’s not to say that I agree with him on everything, but I know that his opinion is likely to be entertaining, informed and likely to get the [...]

Stephen Furber has been recognised in the Queen’s New year honours list, and now becomes a CBE (Commander of the British Empire).  For those born in the UK,  the best known pieces of technology he worked on were the Acorn and BBC Microcomputer… But the rest of the world would be far more impressed [...]

With iPhone sales slowing in the US, tonight was going to herald glorious sales in the UK, as the iPhone was launched by O2 and the Carphone warehouse (on O2).
Except it went badly
The planned queues of people never happened. And it didn’t get any better. After just one hour of sales the number of staff [...]

For some people all I need to say is Dum Di Dum Di Dum Di Dum,

When Palm’s Folio was killed off last week, most people were surprised… some (including our own Citanic) were thankful that they’d put it out of it’s misery.
However, to be fair, nobody here at Mobilitysite had any real experience with the device at all… and apart from curiosity we had no investment in it at [...]

Welcome to “silly songs with Psionandy”.., the part of Mobilitysite where Psionandy sings a silly song.
Due to a mix-up between my MP3 player and my RSS reader, today’s news will be in the form of a song.. (with Apologies to David Bowie)

… I do hope that Aibo’s for sale
Rumors that Toyota were about to buy the famous Sony dog were denied by Sony today. It was rumored that Toyota wanted the technology as a means of competing against Honda’s robotics division.

In my News reader, I have a folder reserved for ‘GOLD’ class blogs. Between the Aximsite and  Mobilitysite feeds is The Dilbert Blog and its associated rss feed, which is ALWAYS worth reading.
Today, His Scott-ness has come up with a corker of an idea for a digital camera, which I’d buy in an instant if I [...]

We’re a fickle lot at Mobiltysite when it comes to shiny new phones. Jack is busy dreaming of the day he can have a PSP phone, Johno is busy working out what he can buy from Sprint, Chris is thinking about Google Phones , and a large chunk of the news team are working [...]

When it comes to tracking people by GPS, there are two schools of thought. Either its a practical solution to all sorts of safety/security issues… or its the start of a 1984 type surveillance culture that will ultimately take all our freedoms away.
Actually the first time I did read 1984 was in my English [...]

Andy Warhol once said that everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. If he was a tech blogger he probably would have said that sooner or later everyone will own Commodore.
