Wordmobi – A Mobile WordPress Client

I have been using wordpress to blog for over a year now and have sought a mobile client to blog on the move since starting. I have used wordmobi since having the N82 and am pleased to say that the latest incarnation supports the touch devices and has a little more functionality.

It requires Python 1.97 to run and it has to be installed on the same drive as Python, uploading of images is supported as of course is text editing. I don’t blog a great deal from the phone but it’s handy when you are away from your PC for extended periods of time with no other access available.

I have yet to find out what is covered under this bundle, some operators class wap sites as internet and can charge you for using the internet links instead of the wap links!  that said this is good value from the big red Vodafone

Orange & Nokia Another Partnership

Orange PCS and Nokia ESPOO recently announced a joint venture with the Nokia Messaging application. The two companies will soon be touting a co branded email solution to Orange customers in the UK at least for now!

“Orange is the first operator group to announce a European-wide offering of Nokia Messaging to their customers and we are very pleased about this extension to our service collaboration. The agreement on Nokia Messaging will boost the adoption of mobile email service and makes it easy for consumers to activate the service on-device and at Point-of-Sale. We believe that mobile messaging is for everyone, not just for a certain segment of the consumer market. “

Sky By Mobile – My View

After recently switching from Virgin Media(Cable) to Sky TV (Satelite) one of the first things i got to work on was installing Sky Mobile on my N82, simple you would think! Well after activating remote record from the Sky+ box and activating the Sky Mobile product through My Sky, a link was sent to my mobile to download the application for the phone.

Went to the link only to be told that my phone is not supported, whaaaaat i thought, if the app is compatible with a Nokia N73 surely i can get it to work on my N82! I trawled the net looking for the sis install file and found it at the SkyUser forums (Thanks). Installed without any problems and activated on the mobile, there is also a java file which works on the N82 and should work with other J2ME compatible handsets. (Download Below)

Subsidised Macbook With Orange Data?

Orange UK are once again rumoured to be in talks with Apple, this time for Macbooks and not iphones! Read the below report from El Reg………….

Orange is reportedly in talks to add a MacBook to the range of subsidised hardware network operators are handing over these days, equipping the mobile executive for only a small monthly commitment.

It wouldn’t be particularly surprising to see a subsidised MacBook coming with an Orange-tied 3G dongle, and joining the plethora of free hardware that stretches from Playstations to netbooks to cinema tickets and carrying bags; all in the interests of getting punters to sign on the dotted line.
The latest development is being reported by Mobile Today, who reckon that the MacBook won’t be a freebie – just heavily subsidised. Orange is prepared to hand over the £350 Toshiba L300 to those prepared to sign up to a £35-a-month contract for a couple of years. That would put a basic MacBook at £369.
