One of our latest Techfluff.tv recruits, London vlogger Cait Roberts, takes her Kodak Zi8 to this year’s Mobile World Congress and asks attendees what they thought were the top trends to come out of the conference. View the video below find out!
Last week, our resident Techfluff.tv Correspondent in Barcelona, Tom Hayton, visited Mobile World Congress 2010 to find out about the latest trends, gadgets and applications for mobile phones. In between the Spanish tapas and beer, Tom got a sneak preview at the exhibition and recorded some demos for our enjoyment.
He tested the Dolby Mobile and Media generator, which brings your home theatre sound system on to the small little device of your phone set. Learned about LogMeInRescue.com -a remote connectivity site making it easy to reach hard-to-reach devices. Tom shows us their ‘Ignition for iPhone’ application which can access any PC or a mac i.e. your full desktop and files.
For those who are predictive text junkies, Tom learns about an innovative PredictiveText 2.o product that learns from mobile phone users i.e. from their SMS language, email inbox and social media accounts – to make predictions personal and relevant the user. These guys claim they are 240% more accurate than the market leaders because the application doesn’t repeat the same mistake over and over again.
Finally, just to confirm that we are really in 2010s, Motorola demos head-mounted computer for hands-free mobile communications. Is this something you think you will use?

Last Thursday evening, the London geek scene gathered in the basement of Bar Kick, Shoreditch to play their hand in London’s very first Geek Foosball Championships. It was a great social event, superbly organised by @Cyberdees with loads of drinks, food and foosball action!
About 50 or so tech heads participated (with another 50 cheerleaders aka spectators). We were each given a number at random to pair up with another geek. I was lucky enough to have @siddd as my foosball partner – but not going to lie…I wasn’t the best foosball player there and was knocked out in the first round – oh well better luck next time
For those that need some memories of the draw & results click here and there are lots of photoshere , here and some great action shots here.
And if you want to find out who the winners were…well you’ll have to watch the video below:
I think Chumbawamba’s ‘Tubthumping anthem’ is quite fitting for the evening…
Still just messing around with the format for the live show – Dave and I talk about the new Microsoft phone, best networking events in London and Google versus Facebook!
