The very nice guys at Sound Gurus in East Finchley just did a very nice job of replacing a wired car kit with a Bluetooth one.
The place closed for a while and it seems the old owners might have gone into administration, but it's now run by Kookie who is a very nice and helpful person.
Worth a visit if any ICE work is needed.

SPAM levels
The drop in SPAM was short-lived and daily attempted mail deliveries have once again risen. Yesterday they peaked at over 2.5m, but today it's just over 1m.
Of the 1m attempted messages 2,000 were "clean" and passed through the appliance.

OK it's a PR stunt, but the technology is pretty cool.
You get a 3D bar code and stick it on something, install some software for your Nokia phone and point the phone at the 3D code.
The phone will then show the background, but where the 3D code is a Ford Ka is super-imposed in 3D floating in space.
The system was demo'ed at Mobile Geeks of London (organised by James Whatley which was a loose collection of people with an interest in mobile but mainly an excuse to drink beer.

SPAM volumes drop
It seems McColo were cut-off from their ISP and SPAM levels have dropped since.
GBNET utilises Ironport SPAM appliances and the attempted number of connections/SPAM email has dropped from nearly 4 million per day (Summer peak) to around 900,000 per day (though in recent months it dropped to around 2.5m per day).
It dropped to around a low of around 800K per day but has risen to the 900K per day since.
Around 99.5% of all email through GBNET mail servers is SPAM.

Dispute between Mapesbury Communications and T-Mobile about mobile termination rates | Ofcom
Dispute between Mapesbury Communications and T-Mobile about mobile termination rates | Ofcom
MCOM won a low power GSM license a couple of years ago and have been slowly rolling out a network since.
They interconnect to the UK operators via a transit network.
It seems they cant reach agreement with T-Mobile on termination fees and so Ofcom are getting involved.
MCOM are what is called "disruptive" in the mobile arena.

USB 3.0 specified
The USB 3.0 specification has at last been ratified (last Monday).
This promises speeds 10x greater than USB 2.0. Chipsets are likely to be available next year (2009) while consumer devices will follow in 2010.
Microsoft has said that USB 3.0 is unlikely to be in Windows 7 when it's released (and may not be included in Vista at all).

FOM took place on the 17th and 18th of Nov 2008. The first day was made up of talks and panels and took place at Kensington Town Hall, the 2nd day was detailed workshops at Olympia Hilton.
There were some good speakers and the first day was an interesting one.
Worth putting in your diaries for next year if you do anything with mobile.
