View Article  I can’t get no sleep

Another study into mobile health reveals that insomnia may be caused by using a mobile phone late in the evening. 

A sample size of 71 would be ok for an A-level project but not one that tries to offer the holy grail of news by finding a real link to health, or lack of it.  There are many other stresses in life and receiving a call at snooze time just adds to the load.  

Calls between 10pm and 9am used to be bad news, but with mobile email interfering with down time there is little time to rest for any of us.

Don’t write Motorola off quite yet. 

I remember the days of the £1,000 StarTac, the must have phone of the 90’s especially imported from China.  Then there was the T260, BT Cellnet’s (O2) launch GPRS handset, followed by a wave of desirable clam shells that shook Nokia up, and ultimately the RAZR range.

Problem was that Motorola could never hold their market share; it is always boom or bust.  Great voice and network quality, and a footballer, doesn’t make up for a tired user interface and little of their old innovative ways. 

This has the whiff of another Siemens fiasco.
