I am writing this after a long break but it was cool.Now it's easy to get web radio on your PSP.

Net radio is high on our list of favourite things, and now Sony's getting in on the act by bringing it to the PSP.

Hour after hour of the likes of Station Agent, Sky.fm 80s and the, ahem, Disney channel, will be available in Japan from 18 December, rolling out around the planet in the coming months.

The addition is part of the Big S's latest firmware update for the Slim+Lite, 3.80.

Japanese punters will get an EPG for scheduling their telly-on-the-go (sadly, we're lacking in that department, as in so many areas on this blasted isle), with video scene search also added.

Sony denying that we were not working on a game phone.So when these leaked pictures of a new game phone by Sony Ericsson emerged, the mobile phone world collectively held its breath. A game phone from Sony Ericsson? Could it be a real PSP phone?

Er, no! It's a Sony Ericsson F305, which is actually quite a low end phone, but which comes with an accelerometer for motion-controlled games, a few game-oriented buttons on the front keypad, and, well, that's about your lot! No HSDPA or even standard 3G - just slow old EDGE connectivity, plus a few other features such as an MP3 player.

Acer vice president of marketing Gianpiero Morbello said the Taiwanese PC maker has big plans to develop the market for Linux, not only on its low-cost ultraportable, but on the company's laptops as well.

The reason is operation and cost of Microsoft operating system.We are going towards Linux because of Microsoft but we will be working very hard to develop the Linux market.

Acer officially unveiled its entry into the low-cost mini laptop market, the Aspire One, on Tuesday. It will come in both Linux and Windows XP flavours.

UK, United Kingdom a great country which have it's own progress speed but now a days suffering from crappy broadband speeds, extremely dodgy advertising from the suppliers (never has the phrase "up to" been so liberally abused) and a constant bemoaning of better services abroad. Hell, didn't we invent the Internet for gawd's sake?

A meeting is being held between the government, industry reps and regulator Ofcom to discuss how to prevent the UK slipping down the global broadband league. Come the end of the year, we'll be more Accrington Stanley than Arsenal if things carry on as they are.

We all have seen plenty of flavours of VoIP funnelled up the iPhone's special connector when no one's been looking, but this latest version called iCall looks to be the best yet.

Still in its beta version, it lets anyone chin-wagging on the iPhone switch from GSM to Wi-Fi instantly and automatically during a call in order to save cash money in chat minutes. You'll obviously need to be in a Wi-Fi zone for said switch to be available, but other than that, that's it.

Developed across the pond, it's an American application but can be used here simply by registering on the site as an iCall Pro user once you've downloaded the iCall Basic version.

It's also completely free to use and install, which immediately makes it great in our book.

You can choose the color in which you want your mobile phone to blink.

Sagen introduce it's new mobile phone in the market my721X "So Ice". Sagem is trying to making some low cost handsets.

With the "So Ice", Sagem have attempted to create a fashion phone with a good quality camera, while keeping the price under control. But a close examination of just what Sagem is offering indicates that the my721X may not be as attractive as it first seems.

Bear in mind that the my721X is currently available in France for around €200, which pitches it directly against a number of midrange phones. One of these competing handsets is the Sony Ericsson K770i, and it is clear that the Sagem loses out badly when it comes to technical capabilities compared to this key rival, but we'll look at this in more depth in a moment.

The Sagem my721X "So Ice" is an attractive handset weighing just 90 grams, it is only 9.8mm thick and yet it includes a multimedia player, FM radio, microSD expandable memory, Bluetooth, a 2" display and a 3.2 megapixel camera.

The Samsung Soul is the first mobile phone review I've done in a while, but I felt it deserved more coverage as it's an intriguing mobile phone. Not only does it look stunning (which is a nice new trend that Samsung have managed to keep up throughout their entire Ultra range of mobile phones, of which the Soul is set to be the last), but it comes with some cracking features as well.

The Samsung Soul is the flagship phone for Samsung for 2008, so you'd expect it to be feature-rich, but feature-rich and good looking? That takes some doing!

While Sony Ericsson are busy teasing us with the specs of their forthcoming XPERIA X1 smartphone, they're also working quietly on another smartphone currently codenamed the Sony Ericsson Paris. The phone will probably be called the P5i when it's launched, and comes with some serious firepower.

For starters, it'll have a touchscreen (which is par for the course these days), together witha 5 megapixel camera, GPS, WayFinder 7.0 software, and a curious weather application as well. From the sounds of it, this will give you a heads-up on what the weather will be doing where you now, by combining your current position with an online weather service.

Motorola has been working on a 5 megapixel camera phone in collaboration with Kodak for what seems like years. Finally, the partnership might be about to bear fruit with the launch of the new Motorola Zine ZN5 camera phone at the CTIA Wireless conference in Las Vegas tomorrow.

The Zine will be the first phone released since Motorola split itself in two in an attempt to stop the company's mobile phone division slipping even further into the red. This won't make the Zine any good, though, as it still comes from a company whose last innovation was to paint the RAZR pink and sell it as a new phone!

Those of you longing for a better mobile gaming experience will be pleased to know that Nokia have now made the new N-Gage gaming service live on their web site. Currently only of any use for owners of Nokia N81, N82, and N95 phones, the N-Gage service will be rolled out to N73 and N93 owners in the coming months.

N-Gage, of course, used to be a phone in its own right, but after performing dismally, it was pulled by Nokia. The new N-Gage platform seeks to resurrect the concept of mobile gaming, but on existing phones, rather than on a dedicated gaming phone.

Meanwhile, according to the latest figures from market research expert GfK, high-end phones are making up an increasingly small part of prepay handset sales.

Despite the fact that operators say they are targeting the high-end market, they have also been paying heavy prepay subsidies.

Two thirds of all prepay phones sold in February cost less than £50; one year ago, it was less than half.

As a result, the value of prepay sales has fallen. In November last year the value of all prepay phones sold was 14% less than in the same month in 2006, despite an increase of 26.6% in the number of phones sold.

One GfK analyst said: ‘With contract sales slowing down, operators are focusing their energies on the prepay market, and the increased competition is manifesting itself in falling prices.’

Orange, for example, has been selling half-price mobile phones for a few months.

The falling prices culminated recently in Carphone Warehouse’s £2.95 Sony Ericsson J110i offer. Unsurprisingly, the low price boosted sales of the J110i, which has featured in the top 20 of Mobile’s prepay handsets chart for the past few weeks.
