How do the Paparazzi use their mobile devices? Dan Lane finds out.

That is what Josh Russell reckons. See if you agree.

Ever wondered what sort of testing Nokia does for every handset? Take a look!

What happens if you take the battery out of the T-Mobile G1 Android handset whilst it is doing its rather nifty over-the-air software update? Well that is what Dan Lane did, hands shaking, whilst handset owner Ben Smith watched.

Justin Davies of NinetyTen on mobile app development

We are live at MoMo London and Swedish Beers talking about the G1 handset and more.

Omar, Founder of AdMob, on mobile advertising

Andy Munarriz, top chap at HulloMail, dropped in the other week to say hi and tell us about their rather nifty and revolutionary voicemail system. Andy is rather passionate about voicemail - and whilst HulloMail offers you the standard voicemail-by-phone features, it has got one huge, huge difference. You now own your voicemail. Instead of messages residing on some server in the middle of nowhere, they are actually sent directly to your email for you to listen to.

You heard it here first... David Beckham at the Symbian Smartphone Show?

We caught the ubiquitous Stefan Constantinescu -- famed Nokia know-all -- at the Symbian Smartphone Show. Whilst Dan caught up with Stefan's background and current handset strategy, watch out for an all new feature from James Whatley...

In this segment, the MIR Show team interview Kerry Ritz, CEO of Palringo -- who shows off some rather nifty location based instant messaging services. So good, that during the interview, James Whatley got out his handset and started downloading it. Have a look..

We are back at the Symbian Smartphone Show 2008 with interviews featuring Smaato (mobile advertising), All About Symbian team and Scalado -- showing off some eye-popping digital image services.

We are live at the T-Mobile UK Oxford Street store to see the Android G1 launch. We have interviews with T-Mobile executives plus guest host Ed Hodges tries to convert Nokia-fan, James Whatley, to the Android platform. Will he succeed?

We talk to Carl from Trutap, Stuart from Fluid Pixels and Raj from Skyfire -- who gives us a brilliant exclusive for our European viewers.

Ewan Spence of All About Symbian discusses a quietly confident Symbian Foundation.

Check out what we reckon is the new Nokia E63 and we have a special offer from DeviceAnywhere!

Mobile Industry Review on location... Yes! This Saturday, we headed down to sunny Brighton on the south coast of England, to visit the inaugural social media cafe ('Tuttle Club') establishing itself in the town. We've got a packed episode of pure joy for you, featuring: News and comment on the week's events, Lastminute's FoneFood service, Josh Russell at the Tuttle Club, a normob-walkabout, Sony Ericsson News, TwistedCarbon's Bluetooth Speakerphone, Apple iPhone simply isn't business critical: Discuss, Orange mobile data... woe! and the regular shout outs.

We try out the SIMable 'sim unlocking solution' for handsets on a Nokia N95.. and it worked. Then we tried it on an Apple iPhone 3G... and it worked. An EXCLUSIVE! All on camera for your viewing pleasure. This week we were joined by a special guest in the form of Josh Russell entrepreneur, founder, WiMax specialist and new Tuttle Brighton social media cafe host. We also pull take a look at Duracell's new mobile phone (and iPhone/iPod) Pocket Charger, take a walk about Covent Garden and check out the phones in use by the tourists and young things and you must, must, must watch... I kid ye not - as James Whatley is 'spotted' by some Italian girl who thought he was a famous singer.

Several SMS Text News members were at the AQA ('Any Questions Answered') summer party last Friday. We brought along the camera and produced the podcast and took advantage of the fact there were a lot of normobs ('normal mobile users') in one place. And of course, we didn't let the opportunity pass to grab AQA's Marketing Director, Paul Cockerton. He always has some interesting insights. So much so that we're going to publish an extended version of the interview featured in today's podcast later this week.

We take a look at Sagem, we discuss 3, we cast a glance toward the inevitable iPhone availability discussion, we discuss the Nokia Tube and Dan and Ben get overrun by some testosterone-fueled normob hoodies (who aren't, actually, wearing hoodies).

With special guest Alfie Dennen from Moblog the team discuss the new Moblog platform, Three's hoodie-hating store, Christmas in July, the iPhone (heard of it?) app store, O2's continuing epic-fail to provide Dan a service, an update on everyone's favourite toy - the personal mobile network - and a special follow-up feature on James's brand evangelism post this week with some tips for Carphone Warehouse (no carphones, not a warehouse). As ever it's all wrapped up with the regular 'things of the week'. 49 minutes that just keep giving.

This week we talk about unlimited drinks Dublin, review the kit that the mobile geek at Glastonbury used (that's James by the way), talk about Flirtomatic's move into the German market, Ewan's 'mobile hell hole post' and our favourite new things in the regular 'things of the week' slot. ...oh and one other thing too... what was that now...?

Mr MacLeod is back from his desert island this week and we're back in SMS Text News Towers too - normal service has been resumed. This week we preview Ewan's write-ups on the technology he took with him - the stuff that made it through customs and the stuff that didn't. We also celebrate Orange's entry to the 21st century with a sensible data tariff and their latest customer, talk about Yahoo's developer platform 'Blueprint', handset pricing, unlimited drinks Dublin and our usual 'things of the week'. All in just about 40mins... how do we do it?

This week Ewan's still on his desert island, James is in a muddy field (Glastonbury apparently) so Ben and Dan talk to special guest Jay Fenton on subjects including the Nokia buy-out of Symbian, Nokia's problem with product leaks, the new 'UK network' UK01 and the furore over Roger's tariffs for the iPhone in Canada plus 'things of the week'.

This week Ewan's still on his desert island but has managed to send us an update anyway. Ben, James and Dan discuss the launch of Nokia's E71, Dan's self-build phone, James' upcoming Glastonbury trip, Canadian mobile data, proposals for incoming call charges by an EU commissioner, Unlimited Drinks Dublin as well as the usual shouts and 'things of the week'.
