By Chris Davies on Friday, Sep 18th 2009 No Comments

Carrier T-Mobile will be the first in the UK to offer Novatel Wireless’ “Intelligent Mobile Hotspot”, the MiFi 2352, which SlashGear reviewed back in June. Available through retailer The Carphone Warehouse in early October, the Novatel Wireless 2352 will be priced from free, assuming you’re willing to sign an 18 month contract (at £20 ($33) per month for 3GB data). We sat down with Rob Hadley, Novatel Wireless’ senior VP of sales and marketing earlier this week to talk trademarks, software and the next step for personal hotspots.

Talking Nokia N900 and Maemo 5 with Ari Jaaksi

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Sep 2nd 2009 1 Comment

We sat down at a roundtable this afternoon with Nokia’s Ari Jaaksi, VP of software at the company, and talked about the Nokia N900 and the Maemo 5 OS it runs. Describing the N900 as “your internet device on the go” and Maemo as “putting the internet first”, it’s obvious that Jaaksi – and Nokia – have the MID segment in their sights; however they’re also upfront about the issues they’re going to face not only with their first-gen hardware but the ongoing development of the platform.

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Jul 7th 2009 No Comments

Palm’s big news for today was it’s announcement of the GSM Palm Pre and the exclusivity deals the company has carved out with O2 in the UK, Ireland and Germany, and Movistar in Spain. We had the opportunity to sit down with Palm and O2 today, and talk about what changes they’ve made to the smartphone, how they see it sitting in a range dominated by the iPhone 3GS, and why European customers will have to wait until the Christmas holidays before they can pick one up.

At a Mobile World Congress where headline-devices have been relatively sparse, HTC have done themselves proud with not only their second Android device, the HTC Magic, but two new Windows Mobile handsets that already look to be best of breed. SlashGear sat down with HTC’s Dave Catt and Eric Lin to discuss both the Touch Diamond2 and the Touch Pro2; in the first of two articles, we have hands-on feedback and a huge image gallery of the HTC Touch Diamond2, plus a video.

Xfce creator talks Linux, Moblin, netbooks and open-source

By Ewdison Then on Friday, Feb 6th 2009 2 Comments

As Intel’s investment into the Moblin OS gets increasing attention, and more non-technical users are introduced to Linux-based platforms in the shape of low-cost netbooks, 2009 will see open-source become more mainstream than ever before. Under the hood there’s much that makes Linux safer, more efficient and secure than rival systems, but for most new users it’s what they can see on-screen that counts. SlashGear caught up with Xfce creator Olivier Fourdan, whose desktop environment has not only been selected by Intel for Moblin but can be found on many existing Linux netbooks, and talked Intel, Moblin, the future for netbooks and what challenges he sees for open-source newcomer Android.
