Mobile Industry Review provides news and opinion to over 250,000 mobile industry executives and fanatics around the world. We provide a mix of news, original content and opinion across the mobile and wireless industries. 

A mobile industry entrepreneur, Ewan was the first to program and launch picture messaging to screen back when the UK's mobile operators were, it seemed, using sticky-tape to run their MMS gateways. An excitable, energetic chap, Ewan wanted the world to know about his team's success with Impulse. Unfortunately, the mainstream media didn't want to know. Similarly, mobile coverage from mainstream media simply wasn't good enough to provide Ewan and his colleagues with a good daily overview of what was 'happening' in mobile.
Already getting hundreds of newsletters and feeds from all sorts of sources to support his day to day business efforts, Ewan resolved to sit down once a day and document stories, news and opinion that caught his eye. He named the site SMS Text News because the focus was originally on text messaging. However, the site now covers a wide range of mobile spheres relevant to the executive and mobile fan, mostly with an eye on the end consumer.
