Mobile –> TV
Cleanliness is next to Mobileness

AOL Moves to Mobile
AOL is trying to get itself as the Instant Messenger programme of choice on the mobile phone.
CNet reports
The AOL Mobile Developer program, announced Monday, is meant to reduce the time manufacturers spend creating AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) software for their handsets, a spokeswoman said. Typically, handset makers and cell phone service providers must work [...]
That’s a Tree??
There’s an unfortunate side effect of mobile phones. And I don’t mean the “Yes, I’m on a train” conversations we overhear everyday.
Mobile phones mean that we need mobile phone masts.
These used to be ugly things that looked just like, well…mobile phone masts. But now they’re ugly things that look like, well…. mobile phone masts badly [...]
Makes you SPIT
First there was Spam, then Spim (unsolicited messages via Instant Messenger) and the next big thing is Spit – messages via Internet Telephony, so says SlashDot about this New Scientist article.

Locative Media
There’s an amazing list of Locative Media initiatives at yproductions – so called after one of my favourite quotes. “When you come to a Y in the road, take it.” Yogi Berra. A great call for action, worthy of Tom Peters himself.
The list includes many old faves like Uncle Roy All Around You and PacManhattan. [...]

I’ve been reading a trial copy of “3G success in Japan: Waves of Disruptive Innovation” by Gerhard Fasol, PhD. [...]
Come on Barbie, Let’s Go Mobile
Mattel in India have launched a Barbie doll, impeccably dressed as always, but also with her own must-have accessory – a mobile phone.
But this is no toy – the mobile works. Barbie’s owners can Instant Message Barbie and friends who have a Barbie too. Plus the look of the phone can be changed to match [...]
O2’s 3G Plans
Al Ries and Jack Trout’s seminal book “The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing” is a great and very readable book – for marketers and non-marketers alike. It’s short and doesn’t fall too deeply into the “Who Moved my Cheese” trap of over-simplification.
Their first immutable law is best demonstrated by the question; Who was the first [...]
