A few weeks ago even more Starlink satellites were launched. It’s part of an internet connectivity solution provided by the Elon Must SpaceX company. Even though space-delivered internet has been done before, the reduced height of the satellites means a faster and better experience. A recent batch of …
Earlier in the year I sat in the garden and watched the string of Elon Musk Starlink satellites fly by in the night sky. They’re relatively easy to see because they’re quite low and there’s a lot of them. In fact, there’s now even more. A launch today …
Right, I’ll keep this brief as I need a cup of tea. Elon Musk is launching thousands of satellites into space. There’s quite an interesting story behind this Space X programme. Called “Starlink”, there’s 320 of them up there right now but the intention is to have 12,000 …
Samsung have a little problem with their S10 at the moment, namely that other fingers can unlock it. The Sun recently carried a story detailing how – with the aid of a cheap screen protector – other fingerprints seem to allow access into the phone. Samsung have promised …
Here in Europe, Huawei have just launched their biggest retail store outside of China. It’s on one of the busiest streets in Europe, Gran Via in Madrid. It’s pretty massive too – taking up two floors. There’s far more than you’d find in a regular mobile store – …
As you’ll know, I’m pretty terrible at backing stuff up. I recently broke my Huawei phone and I still haven’t managed to get the thing fixed. All the photos were on there and I’m using an old Samsung with a cracked screen at the moment. Doah. So, if …
Hello there. We’re back. Apologies for the outage today. We’ve been unable to meet the costs of hosting this ever-expanding website this month, but thankfully readers such as Rob Deacon, James McCrudden, Andrew Smith, Dave Jones and Paul Caley added their donations and now we’re back. I could …
Yes, the moon. The actual moon. Methinks they’re going to need a bigger coverage map. They’ll be using “Ultra Compact Network” kit, the lightest ever developed. It weighs less than a bag of sugar. In a partnership with Nokia, the Vodafone 4G network will enable the first live-streaming …
This job can be pretty interesting at times. Today I’m on a train back from London after a meeting. If all goes well, the results of this particular meeting should bear fruit on Coolsmartphone in the next couple of weeks. The people I met down there were surprised …
Richard Branson is doing his thing with space flights, sure. It’s a nice idea but let’s be honest, I doubt I’ll be able to afford the journey. So, when I get an email telling me that a space flight can be done for less than £135 I’m already …
Well, it’s definitely one way to show off a phone. The new G2 from LG has been sent right up to the edge of space with the aid of a weather balloon and a GPS unit. During the journey the phone captured some lovely imagery on the 13 …
You start off in a warehouse choosing a ship, difficulty and naming your crew. Setting off you come across a usually empty system while a H.U.D appears over your screen, displaying Scrap, Fuel, Hull Strength, FTL Jump, Missiles, Drone Parts, your ship’s upgrade system button and most importantly …
If you’re a regular reader and follow our lovely Twitter feed, you’ll know about the 23GB of extra storage that became possible thanks to a rather naughty tweak by XDA-developers. A slightly modified Dropbox APK file tweaked things so that the Dropbox servers thought you were using a …
Got Dropbox? Not got Dropbox? Either way, give this a try to get yourself 23GB of space, or 23GB additional space if you are an existing user (valid for 2 years). We’ve just given it a spin but haven’t got the confirmation mail as yet. Let us know …
Mobile World Congress always shows us just how the mobile OS’s are performing in the marketplace. We saw for ourselves that the Google Android stand was full of people and the Windows Phone stand was perhaps a little more subdued. Sure, it goes without saying that Windows Phone …
We first heard about the “Angry Birds Space” a couple of weeks ago and there was a notable omission in the supported OS’s. Our exact words at the time were.. Set your alarm for March 22nd people… Oh .. and if you’ve got a Windows Phone… Ermmm… Look! …
The other week we mentioned that the new version of Angry Birds would be based in space. Well Rovio the games developer has been showing the new version of the game off at South by Southwest in America and Intomobile caught it on film. Here is the quick …
PIGS IN SPACE !!! Oh come on, that’s a classic, and you can shortly get the modern classic too – Angry Birds Space is coming. Available for Android and iOS on March 22nd there’s a nice preview video below showing the gameplay. It’s a bit epic and the …
The Galaxy SII is now in space and broadcasting live. Catch up with messages here, or read our earlier story for more details. As I type there’s 3,000 people watching as messages pop up live. Let’s hope it can take a few pictures. It looks amazing up there …
If you’ve found a paper plane with a Samsung logo on it, pick it up and have a closer look. On board should be an SD card and the projectspaceplanes.com web address. If you stick the Samsung memory card into your computer you’ll see lots of lovely messages …
