Relief For iPhone Toting Bashful Bladder Sufferers

Posted on by

EEZi-Pee (www.EEZi-Pee.co.uk), is a mobile Website designed to help those suffering from paruresis or  bashful bladder, a phobia that manifests itself as difficulty in urinating, particularly in the presence of others such as in public restrooms. It lets the paruresis sufferer listen (hopefully using headphones in public) to a variety of running water sounds on their phone in times of need. While it would be easy to joke about the condition and this app, paruresis is actually fairly common (one … Continue reading →

Why Do Mobile Web Designers Ignore Opera Mini?

But not everyone can … Continue reading →

New Middle Web Sites: Techmeme and Google News

Posted on by

Techmeme, the popular tech news aggregator, launched a new mobile site yesterday.  The official announcement is here. I like what Techmeme has done,  The site, while targeted specifically at the iPhone, Android and Palm WebOS phones, isn’t turning anyone away.  You can visit techmeme.com/m with any browser you want.  I tried it using the Android browser,  a Nokia N95-3’s Webkit based browser, Opera Mini 4.2 and the old Openwave 6.2 emulator. I found that the new design worked just as … Continue reading →

Google Wave Is On Android and the iPhone

Posted on by

I’m on Google Wave now thanks to an invite from the Symbian Guru himself, Ricky Cadden. I haven’t really explored Wave very much yet. I’m kind of discouraged because I only have a couple of Wave contacts and Google doesn’t seem to have given me any invites to share with my friends and WapReview readers. I did discover an undocumented mobile interface to Wave though. It only seems to work on the iPhone and Android devices.  To see it visit … Continue reading →

Updated: Easy Mobile Web Based Contact Sharing

Posted on by

Mobile Share seems like a  simple but potentially handy new service. It lets you create a personal online contact page, a simple mobile formatted web page containing your name and phone number. A link on the page lets you share it by sending the URL in a text message. Another link lets the recipient add your name and number to their phone’s contacts with a single click.  I see this as an alternative to sharing a contacts with Bluetooth. I’d  … Continue reading →
