Manymo calls itself “A Better Emulator”, and that’s a fair call. They go on to add that manymo emulators; “Start quickly. Run smoothly. Are lightweight. Match every current OS version & screen size. Are accessible from your browser.” In spite of the network lag, it certainly feels more responsive than the emulator that ships with [...]

Lot of speculative news articles and blog posts these days about the world’s largest smart phone maker ditching android in favor of Tizen. What I know about tizen at the moment can be written on the back of a postage stamp (if I can find one lying around), so here is an attempt to put that right. [...]

Once upon a long ago, I used to work for Mediasolv.com Inc. They were one of the key partners when Dialog Axiata famously ambushed’ Celltell’s W@P launch.
