I have to admit that I was in a state of giddy anticipation when I got home to find that the courier had delivered a shiny new Nokia N97: It came in a under-stated black box which resembled a treat from a Regent Street boutique.

I've just seen the new Blackberry ad, "We Love U2". I like it...but it reminded me of something...What was it...of course, the iPod U2 ad! A mistake? An oversight? No, I can’t believe it’s anything but a conscious effort to take a leaf out of the iPod book of marketing. After all, if you...

Does today's report that Obama will be the first US president to use email mean digital is normal now? Mind you, yesterday the FBI announced an investigation into hacks who got hold of Sarah Palin's email. A whole new world of complication for authoritative and paranoid institutions opens up...
