iPhone 4 available on 3 – best deal around

2010-07-31T15:04:00.001+01:00

The Apple iPhone 4 is available from today in 3 shops for £99 and £30 a month for 500 mins, 5000 txt and 1GB internet. That’s a price that beats any of the competition. Sadly it’s only available in 3 Shops at the moment (not through the website) and their staff are actually worse than the call centre. 3 are a brilliant network as long as you don’t need to speak to anyone.

New Look BBC News website

2010-07-14T09:20:00.001+01:00

The BBC have today launched a new look News website. Looks more modern, but I’m not sure if I like it? I think the top menu is too small and squashed compared with the rest of the design. They have finally put facebook like, or in their case recommend, buttons onto the news articles. Which I guess means they’re not planning to do their own social website anymore.

Visa deadline for e-commerce compliance is tomorrow!

2010-06-30T20:02:00.001+01:00

From tomorrow (1st July) all online retailers that process less than 20’000 transactions a year must have basic Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) compliance.

HP to buy Palm beating HTC and Dell

2010-04-28T22:55:00.001+01:00

Hewlett Packard have announced they are to purchase Palm the maker of the Pre smart phone. There have been lots of rumours recently, and most of them centred on HTC buying Palm, and planning to release it’s own mobile phone operating system. But also in the picture has been Dell, and more recently Palm have been saying they’re not for sale. The sale is expected to complete in the next 3 months. I

iPhone 4G to be called iPhone HD

2010-03-30T14:16:00.001+01:00

Reports are circling that the next iPhone originally due in a few weeks time is to be called the iPhone HD now instead of iPhone 4G … this probably has something to do with the delayed rollout of 4G by AT&T (the US network that has the exclusive rights on the iPhone).

Windows Mobile App Store (Windows Phone Marketplace)

2010-03-30T08:30:00.001+01:00

Loving the app store for Windows Mobile, it’s about time! And for the new Windows Phone 7, Microsoft have already announced that the Apps will only be available through Marketplace. My favourite app so far (other than the essential Google Maps, Skype, Office Communicator) is TubeRun which shows you the London Underground service boards and live departure information.

Search Google for “Britney on PS3”

2010-03-20T16:08:00.001Z

Chatting on Facebook about the PlayStation 3 Vidzone that says there is no match for Britney Spears … and just seems to play Steps, George Michael, and Whitney Houston (it’s an old video from when she could sing without getting out of breath). So I innocently did a search for Britney on PS3 and up pops lots of pages about guessing when she’ll die to win a PS3. I was really taken aback as I’ve

iPhone 4G launch in June?

2010-03-19T20:07:00.001Z

My Windows mobile is really playing up and I’ve been thinking of making the switch to iPhone for a while. The problem is Apple seem to always release a new mobile phone in June / July … June 29th 2007 – iPhone July 11th 2008 – iPhone 3G June 17th 2009 – iPhone 3GS June 23rd 2010 – iPhone 4G release date ? And then of cause there is Windows Phone 7. I do like windows mobile

The new Google phone HTC Magic has been launched and it looks great! I just hope it has enough processing power unlike previous HTC's which are really unstable, crash and lock-up a lot!!!

I hate 3 (Three) mobile phone co. with a passion!!!

2009-04-09T10:57:00.002+01:00

I've been a customer of "3" for 5 years now, and for as long as I can remember they've had the worst customer service in the world (perhaps only surpassed by Air India).The problem is that when you don't need to speak to them, or use their website which never ever works properly … the mobile technology they have is great and the price is fantastic. I pay £8.75 a month for 500 any-time any-network
