Bit of maintenance here, bit of maintenance there…

Ka — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:09:49 +0000

Spring is over (we feel it, the thermometer as well), nevertheless, LuxiPhone goes for some “Spring Cleaning” or “Springboard Cleaning” (to use iTerms)

LuxiPhone will undergo some maintenance between today and tomorrow EOD. Vitovox and myself ask in advance to forgive us if the website might not respond at its best while we’re having our hands at it. We’re working hard to make it even more responsive and fast to load.

We’ll post as soon as everything will be back to normal.

Thanks in … [visit site to read more]

Oye cumpa’, ponme una cerveza ma’, or say it with your iPhone

Ka — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:46:27 +0000

Ever went to Spain and would have loved getting some Tapas & Drinks the proper way (in Spanish)? Want to appear more “local”?

There are a few options if you don’t already speak Spanish:

1) Take a course, spend money and time, repeat that a few times till you get the right level.

2) Marry a Spanish girl or guy and try to see if you get to learn the language

3) Get Jibbigo on your iPhone!

Back in 1996 we had “Command & Conquer”, today too

Ka — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:16:55 +0000

Rejoy! How many of us played Command & Conquer till late at night (early in the morning)? I remember loving the game.

Finally the Realtime strategy genre of the Appstore got some beef: here is Command & Conquer Red Alert for the iPhone (and iPod Touch).

Single tap to choose … [visit site to read more]

My Pre experience

vitovox — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:31:23 +0000

The day the Palm Pre launched in Germany, I was among the first ones to stand in line (there was no line) to get one.
Not that I disliked my iPhone but rather out of technological curiosity.
I think the Pre has got the looks, some cool features like the touchstone and its inductive charging.
The days passed and my enthusiasm faded day after day. It took me 5 days to realize that this is not the iPhone killer (days in which I was walking around with 2 devices anyway).
At this day, there is … [visit site to read more]

ViKaSkins goes retail

vitovox — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:14:23 +0000

One accessory 100% made in Luxembourg finally hits the shelves. Yes, our ViKaSkins are going retail trough Orange. Obviously only the standard skins. For a custom skin with your own design, you still have to order them online here.

But still, it’s nice to see a big name like Orange selling a local accessory.

Give your iPhone some Vitamin C!

Ka — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:38:19 +0000

Today Vox switches to Orange. Say goodbye to Vox, welcome Orange!

Was curious to see if anything changed a part from the website. Said to myself that most probably would have a been a bit too soon to see changes in their offers. How wrong was I… They did change their iPhone offers. Not only changed, they improved them a lot!

Look here below:

iRumor of a new iDevice from iChina

Ka — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:29:52 +0000

You know how rumours work? They are contagious, as soon as something appears somewhere, everybody talks about it.

The rumor we bring you today is… A new device from Apple. What? This isn’t new? You already heard this one? Well, actually this time to back it up (and increase its credibility, somehow) there is an image taken from a Chinese website. Here it is, for your curious eyes:

Sympass app in the making

vitovox — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:45:36 +0000

Sympass is a program for companies that offer special discounts to their employees in a miriade of different services in Luxembourg, Germany, France and Belgium including cheaper cinema tickets, zoo visits, Phantasialand, perfums etc…Sympass members get a card and a booklet (that I lost on day 1) with all the shops that offer their discounts up to 50% but most often in a range between 10-25%…Sounds great on paper but the reality is that besides cheaper movie tickets, I have never taken … [visit site to read more]

Some go Orange, others Yellow

vitovox — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 22:01:35 +0000

A double post. We read in the press that VoxMobile will no longer be. By next week it will be rebranded into Orange. What this change will bring to consumer, no one knows, only time will tell (or their press conference due next week). But I guess the worldwide Orange know-how will stir the small luxembourgish market up a bit and maybe become a serious challenger to other providers.
Another news is that the new Yellow.lu app 2.0 we announced last week didn’t have any troubles passing the … [visit site to read more]
