Apple, the PT Barnum of the IT industry has managed to get tongues wagging again with the announcement of a forthcoming special event, where new products will be announced.
As usual, there is no pre-event confirmation of what will be announced, but the timing of the event coupled with external factors such as the age of certain product lines and stock shortages give us a pretty good idea of what users can expect.

Hello – My name is Chris Green, and I used to be a BlackBerry addict. Prior to this past weekend, it had been two and a quarter years since I kicked the habit.
Alas, I have relapsed. Despite being clean for such a long time, buoyed by a winning start to the Championship football season by QPR and one sugar too many in my afternoon cup of tea, I decided to have a BlackBerry hit. Just the one – after all, what harm could it do? Read more

Ikea – from flat pack furniture to mobile phones
By Chris Green in Editorial
Posted in 2G, Mobile Phones on
There are few things that really amaze me on a Monday, but this piece of news really has.
Ikea, everyone’s favourite low-cost furniture and herring emporium, has decided to branch out into the mobile phone business.
The trouble is that the new service is similar to its furniture – very cheap, but you have to assemble the phone yourself. There will be a few screws missing, a lump of plastic shaped like a gunshot wound left over, and everything will be smothered in wood glue.
Of course, I’m kidding – a bit. Read more

One thing is certain this year; the technology sector is going to be busy.
2008 is going to be a landmark year, with several technology shifts on the horizon and companies set for fierce competition as the tough trading conditions in countries such as the US create problems for the more blinkered hardware, software and services companies that have failed to look behind their home market. Those that see the bigger global picture will be stepping up their efforts to grab market share or establish a foothold in emerging markets such as China, Eastern Europe and parts of Africa.
Here is my list of ten technology predictions for 2008 – I am confident about these, but just to be on the safe side I won’t be backing them up with cash bets this year. Read more

Motorola boss had to fall on his sword
By Chris Green in Editorial
Posted in 2G, 3G, Motorola, Mobile Phones, Smartphones on
Today’s news that Motorola’s current chief executive Ed Zander will step down from the role in January came as little surprise.
After enjoying monumental success with products such as the RAZR V3 mobile phone, the company has struggled for the last two years to find its next big thing.
