App Giveaway: CoPilot Live satnav
At the start of the year I reviewed CoPilot Live for UK and Ireland from ALK Technologies.
When I first started using the app I found it a little complex, but since then I’ve figured it all out and have come to rely on it for my navigation needs whilst driving. Plus the US version of the app – which I’ve just noticed is only £2.99 right now (bargain!) – seriously helped me get around while on holiday this summer 
So I am very pleased to let you know that i have three copies of CoPilot Live available to give away!
iPhone case giveaway – Pro/Tec Executive and Energy, and VOi! Lorem
I’ve recently reviewed some more different cases and covers for the iPhone:
Pro/Tec’s battery-charging Energy, and their soft leather Executive, as well as Griffin’s elan form.
Well, the Griffin’s already been snaffled by a mate (sorry!), but I’m going to give the two Pro/Tec cases away. However, I do have another case knocking around which I’ll throw in.
iPhone case giveaway winners
The iPhone case giveaway ended on Friday at midday, and here are the lucky winners!
I gave everyone who entered a number, and then did some clicking over at random.org to generate the winning entries. So, the winners are:
I’ll contact each of you in turn to see which case you’d like. If there are any cases that the winners don’t want, I’ll grab another random winner and let you know.
Thanks to everyone who entered. There will be another few case reviews and a giveaway in a little while
iPhone case giveaway – Proporta, VOi Lorem and iWrap
I’ve recently reviewed three different cases and covers for the iPhone:
Proporta’s Soft Feel silicon case
VOi’s Lorem hard shell case, and
iWrap’s protective film.
And now I’m going to give them away!
Perpetually Dissatisfied
Fed up with your phone? Miffed at your mobile? You’re not alone. But why do we expect our phones to do so much, and is it justified?
I’ve written a post for The Really Mobile Project, and for once, I only mention the iPhone a couple of times!

From iPhone to Nokia N97 mini? Not quite so fast!
Collaring our very own Matt Radford, I pressed him to try the Nokia N97 mini, the latest touchscreen offering from the Finns, albeit with a QWERTY keyboard as well. Below are his video impressions after two weeks with the N97 mini. Happy watching and happy Christmas!
The company behind (most of) those in-app ads – Smaato
In-app advertising has become more and more common in the iPhone world – it’s a great way for developers to monetise their apps and games while keeping the app itself free for users. But how does it all work, in terms of putting the right ads in the right apps to the right people? Following on from the Heroes of the Mobile Screen event in London, I tracked down Smaato founder Ragnar Kruse and got to the bottom of iPhone (and Symbian) mobile advertising. And if you’re a developer, Smaato.com is the place to try first for this sort of thing.
Carnival of the Mobilists 186
You know that warm, cosy feeling you have on a Sunday night when you’ve had your dinner, the kids are in bed, and you’ve just sat down to watch some TV? And then you realise you’ve forgotten this week’s Carnival of the Mobilists?
So, like the plot of the bad Steven Seagal movie I’m watching, this has been hastily-written. But don’t let my rush to write this article stop you from reading this week’s excellent submissions at leisure.
