MobileMentalism is a blog dedicated to the disconnected. The focus is primarily mobile phones, but will clearly shift as the technology itself evolves and morphs, swallows other devices (mobile MP3 player anyone? digital camera?), and expands into different sectors (gaming, sat-nav, banking).

If you’re into mobile phones, you’ll want to know not only the best device to own now, you’ll also want to know what’s on the horizon, and what’s beyond that. What the major manufacturers are preparing for the coming year(s), and where the technol0ogy is heading. We provide all this and more, including:

  • Fresh news and reviews on all the latest phones and services, plus industry gossip.
  • Articles exploring the impact of mobile phones on society, where the technology’s heading, and the implications of the manufacturers’ strategies.
  • A HowTo series showing you exactly how to do what you want to do with your latest wunder-phone, be it set up email, use or develop Java apps for your phone, or even make a phonecall (yes, they even let you do that!).
  • Links to the blogosphere’s best mobile phone, gadget, and technology blogs.

ME – Mike Evans

I’m a lecturer in Computer Science, specialising in social computing, and devotee of the mobile gizmo. I’ve conducted research for Orange, developed Java apps for a now-defunct computer games developer (bless that dotcom crash!), and am currently working on a project with a mobile services company.

Feel free to contact me on any mobile phone issues (except prices!).

In particular, I’m always interested in any news of new mobile phone gadgets, prototypes, or tips from other blogs you’ve read. I always reference my sources, so if it’s links you’re after, send me some interesting news. Equally, if you want any of your mobile products or services reviewed, or wish to sponsor MobileMentalism, email me for more details.

You

Feel free to send a tip or press release, suggest a new article or HowTo, send me a gizmo to review, whatever – whoever you are, whatever you do, feel free to contribute.
