Autotrader – the popular UK-based motoring website and magazine – has launched an iPhone application today adding to their existing mobile site.

Best known for it’s classified listings this application provides access to Autotrader’s huge database of vehicles for sale but allows users to search locally to them using the phone’s GPS.  Cleverly though, it also allows users to snap a picture of a car’s number plate and (for free) to retrieve the full make, model and specification of the car.  Using this information you can then browse reviews of that car or search for similar models for sale – ideal for when you see a car you like in the street, want to check prices of similar cars locally before buying or just want to proce you mate’s lieing about his car being the top-end model, despite the AMG badges he’s stuck on it.

The people from Nokia have given us three phones to give away to Really Mobile readers – having forgotten that post (we assume) or (more probably) taken it in good humour… so make us laugh and get winning!

We’ve got an E55, an E75 and an N97 to give to three lucky winners and it’s easy to enter… In video, audio, image or text create one of the following as suggested by our first winner Matt Radford:

  1. You’re Really Mobile’s Dad. Explain to Really Mobile how it should behave when it’s a grown-up, possibly with reference to ‘currently grown-up’ mobile/tech sites.
  2. Pick the actors who will play the cast in “Really Mobile: The Movie” and justify your choices.
  3. Write a Haiku to/about The Really Mobile Project or something we’ve blogged.

In the last day or so, there’s been an astounding volume written about Apple suing HTC for various infringements. So I may as well chime in too…
As someone who’s worked in the ‘telecommunications’ industry for 15 years, I absolutely despise the present patent system. I think it’s foolish that companies like Apple, Microsoft, Nokia, RIM [...]

Right now, someone, somewhere, is complaining about their phone…  “It’s so slow, the camera takes terrible pictures, I can’t get it to pick up my email…” And you can be sure they’re writing a blog post or comment about it, so the world knows that this thing sucks.
Wait, what? My mobile does an amazing array [...]

Although announced late last year, I’d completely forgotten that the closure of the flagship store was creeping up on us until I saw their tweet today.  And now it’s gone…

As part of my ongoing search to find a new phone, those lovely folk at 3MobileBuzz recently sent me an HTC Hero to try out…
It’s not the newest handset on the market granted, but I’ve heard good things about Android and after too many contract-based nightmares to count in the past – I’m a 3 [...]

Earlier this week we highlighted the confused rubbish that PleaseRobMe.com was spouting about privacy and location-based services such as FourSquare. The site was intended to ‘raise awareness’ the creators claimed…

Power over WiFi: ‘Physics is Physics’ or ‘Dare to Dream’?

by Ben Smith 23rd February 2010

Our post about the RCA Airnergy device generated a bit if a conversation… both for and against.
To reflect many of the sceptical comments around the web I added a video from EEVblog which summarised much of the physics-based disbelief, but our readers can do better than that…
