Steve Jobs: A non-fanboy writes
Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple has died at the age of 56 after a battle against cancer. This is a tragedy for his family and friends – I know from my own life (my father died of cancer in his 40s) that cancer is an evil corruption of life and while its ultimate defeat comes …

Cocked, barrel to head, pulling trigger
This morning, Nokia announced their “Strategy for 2011“. This strategy is based around dropping Symbian (and essentially sidelining MeeGo) in favour of Windows Phone 7. As I said on Twitter this morning (and thanks to those who retweeted it), This morning’s Nokia news is like a man calling a press conference to shoot himself in …

Nokia N9 Wishlist
The web’s awash with people postulating about the Nokia N9. If you’ve been living under a rock for the last six months, the N9 is the [rumoured] handset that was [supposedly] due for release in 2010 Q4 but has now [allegedly] been pushed back to [at least] 2011 Q1. “What’s the big deal?” I hear …

New server, new theme
Within the last 24 hours, my hosting company, BigWetFish have migrated my site onto a new, high specified, UK-based, server. This should improve the performance of the site for all users – and especially the majority who are UK-based themselves. In addition, anyone accessing the site from mobile devices (roughly 20% of users) will now …

Nokia X6: My experience so far
As I mentioned yesterday, I recently upgraded to the Nokia X6 16GB and as when I reviewed the N900, I’m posting my experiences of just over two weeks with it so far. All from the perspective of being a Linux user of course. I am loving the X6 on the whole. The ‘X’ range is …

In praise of Mazuma
I have been known in the past to post items ranting about poor service from companies, so it makes a nice change now to be able to say something positive about service from a company whose facilities I have used. Mazuma Mobile take a bow! I recently upgraded my mobile phone from a Nokia N95 …

The N900: My experiences
I was contacted a little while ago by WomWorld, offering me a review copy of the Maemo-powered Nokia N900 for a couple of weeks. That two weeks just came to a close and here are my thoughts from the point of view of a Linux user. On the whole, I enjoyed the N900 but not …

The Smartphone for Linux quest ends…?
For quite some time, I’ve been trying to answer the question What is the best smartphone for Linux users? I’ve suggested that – ironically – Windows Mobile is a solid solution and looked forward to the release of the Nokia N900 (forever delayed it currently seems). My use case was of using Evolution for calendaring …

Smartphone for Linux? N900 = nirvana possibly…
I’ve been on a quest, a quest to determine what might be the best smartphone for Linux users. I was disappointed by what I discovered and ended up with the shameful and ironic view that in terms of functionality, the best option is to go for a phone running Windows Mobile. Since then, I’ve looked …
