It’s been a long long time in the pipeline but today will see Microsoft launch ‘Project Pink’ which is essentially a range of social networking phones.
We know what two of the phones will look like, thanks to Gizmodo. On the right is the ‘Turtle’ and on the left is the ‘Pure’.
Last night Sony Ericsson celebrated the UK launch of the Xperia X10; their first Android handset to feature TimescapeT and Mediascape. The event was hosted by model Poppy Delevigne and rugby star Danny Cipriani (London Wasps and England Fly Half).
TimescapeT Ambassador Poppy Delevingne provided insight into how the X10 complements her everyday life by integrating all her social networks and digital interactions into a single device. You can view a demo of Timescape using Facebook connect on the X10 product page.
London Wasps and England Fly Half and now Mediascape Ambassador Danny Cipriani uses his X10 on his travels to catch up on his favorite films and listen to music. He uses Mediascape regularly to discover new associated content by pressing the infinite key to pull in information from the internet.

Just a quick but important announcement. If you have ordered an HTC Desire from any of our sponsors ( Devicewire, Clove or eXpansys) the good news is that they now have devices. Today they will attempting the task of sending out their back orders – so if you have ordered one I suggest you keep an eye out for the postman tomorrow.
If you get one, have a great weekend with it!

All of the major UK carriers are rolling out the HTC Desire and I have just spoken with our ‘Orange man’ who has confirmed that the HTC Desire has been heading out to their UK stores over the past few days. It will also appear on the orange website later today or tomorrow.
Initially they will stock the brown version but towards the end of April they will have exclusively the nice black version.
The question is can you wait for the black or do you need one now!
Keep an eye on orange.co.uk over the next 24 hours for more details and price plans.

When the HTC HD2 was released it created a huge amount of interest and it still does now, a few months on. There are a few options available for mounting the HD2 in car and here we have a very cost effective option courtesy of mobilefun.co.uk
From a personal prospective I actually use mobillefun for most of my accessories and have always been impressed with the service. Ordering online is painless and on most occasions I have received the purchased items next day. (I’m not being paid to say this!)
As you can imagine there is only so much you can say about an in car phone holder so this will be short and sweet.
If you could do with an in car holder for your HTC HD2 read on after the break.
Oh no, its happened again! Clove have just released the following statement. Not good news.
Having only sent all our customers an email yesterday we have now been informed by HTC this morning that they are delaying shipments to all SIM-Free E-tailers until next week. This is very frustrating for both you and ourselves, having made so much effort in trying to ensure you receive your Desire as early as possible. The actual shipping date is yet to be confirmed, although HTC expect to start releasing stock on 13 April.
Please be aware this is completely out of our control and will affect all other E-Tailers as well. We will continue to update you with as much information as we can.
We will not be refunding any orders that have already been charged unless requested – this will simply cause further delays next week.
Please accept my personal apologies for this further delay, we only wish we could give you better news. Hopefully you will appreciate we continue to offer the best customer service we can and keep you informed as best we can, even when the news it not what any of us wishes to hear.
We will update you all as soon as we get further news.

Only days after the release of the iPad Apple are keeping us on our toes with the announcement of an iPhone OS 4 event this week on Thursday, 8th April.
Although I’m not an iPhone user this maybe the event that changes my mind. Could we see multi tasking in 4.0? It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.
I would love to say I will be at the event but its taking place in the USA so we will have to reply on press releases. We will be sure to keep you in the picture though.

As the title of the post states, RIM (makers of BlackBerry Smartphones) have released their Q4 earnings for Fiscal 2010.
As you will see in the press release below, although market share for the iPhone and Android is growing, BlackBerry users are growing too and by quite a lot!
WATERLOO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – March 31, 2010) – Research In Motion Limited (RIM) (NASDAQ:RIMM)(TSX:RIM), a world leader in the mobile communications market, today reported results for the three months and fiscal year ended February 27, 2010 (all figures in U.S. dollars and U.S. GAAP).
Annual Highlights:
I have been using Vlingo for just over a week now and boy, has it made my life easier. If you have not heard of Vlingo then to summarise it, its an application that will allow you to convert speech to text.
I spend anything from two to five hours a day in my car which means if i want to email or instant message people I need to either pull over or wait until I have stopped. Not any more!
With the touch of a button Vlingo records your voice and converts it into text in pretty much any application on your phone.
