However you skin the TV-on-your-mobile cat, we’ve mostly just got conjecture, speculation and theory to go on. So I was interested to read on BlackBeltJones that Nokia have given him a new piece of kit to play with for a month: the s90-powered 7700 that won’t be getting a commercial release, but Nokia uses as [...]

Robbie Goes MMC
Robbie Williams has pulled off another world first today with the launch of his new Greatest Hits album. He’s releasing it on MMC Memory Card, as well as CD and Vinyl, sold exclusively through Carphone Warehouse. MMC Memory Card is compatible with high end Nokias at the moment, so I can’t see this selling in [...]

Mobile Guitar and Piano Tuner
In my interview with Tomi Ahonen over the weekend (put it on this week’s reading list!) one of the things we talked about was the end of the mass market “killer app”. In other words, the future will still have its killer apps, but they will appeal to specific niches of users. One man’s killer [...]
Exclusive Interview with Tomi Ahonen
I’ve been a great admirer of Tomi Ahonen for some time. Both as an author and consultant, I think he’s one of the few who really understands the mobile space and he’s a fun guy too. You’ll find a lot of his themes and opinions uncannily similar to my own writing in this blog – [...]
Cross over language
I overheard a kid yesterday say to a groups of mates “Bee bee el”. It took me a few seconds to realise he meant “BBL” as in Be Back later – chat/sms/im slang. So I started to think if any other phrases had crossed back into meat space. W00t and Leet you hear pretty regularly. [...]
Video calls just won’t die
It seems that despite video calling failing to take off anywhere (or any evidence that users actually want them) operators haven’t given up on the pesky things yet. However, they are getting a little cleverer in how they promote them. You’d have thought that UK’s 3 of all companies would have had its fill of [...]
Well they would say that…
There’s been much coverage of the new Swedish study linking tumour growth to mobile phone usage. OK, they’re benign tumours, but given the choice, most people would prefer not to have tumours at all. In case you missed it, here’s what Yahoo News said: According to the work conducted by the Stockholm-based Karolinska Institutet, long-term [...]
Ringtone Concert
A concern inspired by popular ringtones is being performed by the Southwest Washington Symphony. The programme includes “William Tell Overture”, “Les Toreadors”, “Orpheus in the Underworld,” (compete with can-can dancers!) and “Colonel Bogey March” (Who the hell has Colonel Bogie as a ringtone???) What’s next, a concert inspired by lift music? —–>Follow us on Twitter [...]
P2P Music
In my earlier blog about Napster’s launch of prepay, I observed that the market seems to be restricted as so many free P2P sites were still available. Actually, latest figures highlighted by The Guardian, show it’s worse than that. Research firm NPD disclosed that the number of users downloading music has fallen from a high [...]
