Now that the "invisible" iframe causing the virus / badware / spyware problems has gone, I today moved onto removing how it got there in the first place. I've implemented a new security policy into our MySQL / Apache configuration and I'm currently te...
OK, a quick update on how things are going with the site. Google have no pretty much knocked us off the internet. Any search you do in Google that returns a Coolsmartphone page will have a horrible message under it saying, "This site may harm your com...
About 30 minutes ago Firefox blocked our site. If you click on the "Why was our site blocked" you'll find a nice Google page that says there's no problems. I've been asked to go into the Google Webmaster Tools an request a review of the site, however ...

Today is October 1st, so it's surprising to see the HP Silver still alive and well in these sneak shots over at Engadget. We saw it at the very start of 2008 in a leaked Vodafone roadmap, but alas it never appeared in July as promised. There's GPS …

Our friends over at Devicewire currently have some "B-Grade" stuff on sale. Y'know the sort of thing, they've possibly been opened or returned but they're still in excellent condition and you can save some dosh. They've got a few HTC Touch Diamond ha...
This is a new game called Touchdown. It's been designed to make the most of the VGA screen on the HTC Touch Pro but should also work on the Diamond and possibly other VGA devices too. It's still in early development, so you'll need to download the dem...
