Seems like an interesting concept to be able to control other devices from your mobile phone. If this is the beginning of what is to come from this year’s MWC, we should see a bunch of industry firsts and improvements. We will keep you updated on the MWC launch and other news. Inbrics plans to introduce the MID M1 in Europe in 2010 or early 2011. Is this the device you’ve been waiting for? If so, looks like you will be waiting for a bit longer.

Watch All The SuperBowl Ads

logo_2010-Super-BowlThis year’s SuperBowl had a few ads very relevant to phone lovers and Android lovers specifically. But since the SuperBowl is all about ads (and football), we thought we would embed this neat little HULU widget that allows you to watch every single advertisement shown during the big game!

Included of course are the Motorola Devour Ad, Google Search Ad, and Boost Mobile:

I was pretty disappointed by the commercials this year. Dorito had a couple goods ones early on… but then I started wondering how/why they spent so much money on the SuperBowl once the fifteenth ad aired. The Google Advertisement was pretty good… although I’m still a bit surprised they had one in the first place. I would have like to see some sort of “in game” sponsorship where, when they mention stats or information on a player, they say – “We Googled it and” etc…

What was your favorite commercial?

PS: Thoughts on the Motorola commercial are coming up in the next article!

Apparently if you have more than one Nexus One you have… Nexii. At least according to Roto Meier who tweeted that he gave 70 Nexii to developers attending the London development event:

There are a bunch of other developer sessions over the next month in different areas but I’m guessing, with this news, they’re all sold out by now. Looks like you’ll have to buy your own Nexuses/Nexus/Nexii/Nexors.
