LBC97.3 releases blackberry app

mrremovals | September 3rd, 2010 | No Comments »

A couple of months ago months ago I wrote a blog lamenting the lack of blackberry apps for radio stations.  The link to that blog post is here.  It looks like London’s Biggest Conversation listened.  They’ve just released their Blackberry app which you can download through this link. Judging by the response I had on the mobile phone app, I thought a few people would want to know about new blackberry apps.

Isn’t having police horses on the roads a bit outdated?

My apologies for not updating this blog as regularly as I would like and thank you for all the feedback I’ve been getting regarding the blog.  It’s really appreciated. Today on Sheperds Bush Road in Hammersmith, two police officers emerged from a police station and joined traffic right in front of me.  I attempted to take a picture with my windscreen mounted blackberry before my colleague who was in the car with me reminded me that it’s an offence to take a photograph of a police officer.  ”How come I always see girls posing for pictures with coppers” I asked.  To which I got no answer.  Thanks to wikimedia images I did not have to commit a crime to show you exactly what I mean. These officers held up traffic for a bout a quater of a mile before there was enough space for us to overtake them.  And I

Smart Phone Apps

I’m going to attempt to write about something I know absolutely nothing about. It seems like the whole world is being overrun by mobile apps. As a businessman I need to send and receive my e-mails when I’m away from my desk. I can’t drag a laptop with me everywhere I go as I tend to park my car or take a train and it could be a bit bulky. This means I need something called a smart phone and therein lies a minefield of challenges. When I had an opportunity to choose a smart phone I decided to try a few phones before I settled for a blackberry. I couldn’t manage with the i-phone as my fingers are too big which made typing e-mails very difficult. I also decided to consult a friend of mine who had it and he told me the battery never lasts the whole day

It’s scary how much we’ve become dependent on the internet

It’s 15:30 on a Wednesday afternoon. Usually, I’ll be busy replying to e-mails and returning customers phone calls. Not today. Instead, I’m sitting in my desk writing this blog, using a pencil and paper. And it feels good. I have not used a pencil and paper since I left school. What with the computers that seem to be running our lives these days. The reason I’m doing this and not what I should be doing is that my internet connection is down and has been for the past two hours. As a result I can’t send e-mails or make phone calls (our phone is VOIP). My VOIP company has been great, they’ve diverted my calls to my mobile. I’ve contacted my ISP (who will remain anonymous for fear of being sued) and they’ve assured me that they’re aware of the problem and are working on it and I should have
