Usually I am not positive about most things concerning Microsoft. But even that company sometimes comes up with smart ideas. One of those is Fone+. This project is an initiative to use smartphones running windows as computers by using special docking stations that will allow for a screen, keyboard and rat(mouse) to be connected. The [...]

My number one would be a *real* keyboard, although I fully understand that this would stop iPhone from being, err, iPhone. So let’s move to number two. What would my number two be? VOIP. Who just did it? Fring. Who?

I run a small company. My having a blackberry here is quite unique: blackberry’s in the netherlands are usually owned by suit-wearing managers of big companies, not small time consultants like me.

Where all others copied the design and the interface looks, Meizu has built the UI to act in a similar way as you’d expect from [...]

Apple will the firmware (operating system, actually) of the iPhone. Most remarkable added feature is Location Logger, which keeps records of what tower you are logged into, thus providing information on where you are.
