It was reader Kip Hakes who suggested I check out Endomondo, the GPS sports tracking app a few weeks ago. Well, on Saturday it was my turn to take baby Archie out for a stroll. My instructions were to exit at 930am and not to return until 11am. He was supplied fed and sleeping. All [...]

Gwabbit Grabs Contact Info From Your Emails
Gwabbit is one of those applications that people rave about. Gavin May, one of the top directors at accounting firm Sage, introduced me to the product last year at the EMEA BlackBerry Alliance Summit (see my Mobile Developer TV video interview with Gavin ). He simply adored the product. I thus thought I’d better give [...]
Subway Sandwich fan? There’s An App For That!
I have, on occasion, been a user of SUBWAY — the sandwich shop chain. I do like to see the chap or lady make the sandwich in front of me — although I also have to suspend my disbelief when I see the type of factory ‘formed’ ham they tend to use in their sandwiches. [...]

HulloMail, if you’re not [...]
Rove Mobile SSH: A total lifesaver for IT admins
I purchased my first dedicated server back in 1999, if memory serves. I bought it from Rackshack, which became EV1Servers which then became The Planet. Over the years I’ve leased dedicated servers from just about any decent firm out there. They’ve nearly always been linux servers, used to support the various applications, services and sites [...]
Tesco Clubcard App for Nokia & BlackBerry
I’ve had a lot of emails from readers wondering when a Tesco Clubcard App for Nokia phones is coming. Well, as I announced in the Tesco Clubcard iPhone app post, Tesco have heeded your cries! They are currently working on an application for Nokia and for BlackBerry. Nokia users, you’ll most likely see the application [...]
‘I Love BlackBerry’ by EarlySail
How much do you love your BlackBerry? Ask most BlackBerry fans and they spread their arms as wide as possible before declaring, “this much”. The next question though, is whether or not you’re a proper BlackBerry fan. And that can only be properly judged by the amount of time you actually use your device, surely? [...]
