I’ve gone on at great length recently at what I reckon is going to be the future of mobile phones , and it’s name is the Symbian Foundation. I’ve said many times that when they go open source, with the sheer number of people who are signed up to it, it can’t not be a widespread phone revolution.

Having since then successfully navigated all five stages of the grieving process per Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, I now find myself in the living hell of shopping for a new computer. It is not just that I do not... Read Full Story
