01.Dec.2009 Nablopomo
And the month of November is at an end. I ultimately felt that I ran a little short of ideas to post every single day, but it was good to have the opportunity to push myself to share more self generated content. I now feel I have momentum to try more things out like the [...]
30.Nov.2009 To iPhone 3GS or not…
I have a lot of friends who’s contracts are comin up and are facing the similar question, whether to get an iPhone on contract or not. Everytine I hear this I always advise them to not do it. Not because I have anything against the iPhone 3GS (I have one myself). It’s because they’d be [...]
28.Nov.2009 Game time!
After having had a little play with 3 key devices out in the UK market place, namely the Palm Pre, HTC Hero and iPhone 3GS I have noticed a similarity between all of them. No it’s not the capacitive touch screen, it’s not online app stores, what has caught my eye is the poor battery [...]

It has been brought to my attention that the large company known as Microsoft may have…can’t bring myself to say it…stolen from another product. This time it seems that the MSN service launched in China http://club.msn.cn bears some similarities to microblogging site Plurk. Screen grabs of the service show similarities: Club.msn.cn Screenshot of sjjh on [...]
20.Nov.2009 Thoughts on mobile handset design
Having recently had a play with the Palm Pre, Nokia n900 and Motorola Droid, what I found surprising was the lack of effort to create a stunning hardware look and feel to match that of the hype surrounding them. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d like to see more bolder designs and experimentation than just [...]
19.Nov.2009 Motorola Droid with Android 2.0
I had the pleasure of having a little play with the Motorola Droid and first impressions were a little underwhelming. The hardware design was a little on the heavy side. There was no chin this time (as sported on the HTC models). but the the keyboard slider hangs out past the screen which reminded me [...]
18.Nov.2009 #LondonLebowski kicks off in style
Last night was the inaugural #LondonLebowski event which was brought about by a love of the film the Big Lebowksi, and brining together some folks form the London tech scene for a fun night of bowling, drinking and bumper cars. I was armed with my trusty new Flip Mino HD and managed to capture some [...]
