by Carlo Longino on 21. Apr, 2006 in Analysis
The analyst firm that put out the silly report that the Apple iPhone was “imminent” and would launch on the Helio MVNO in the US is back with their full report on “Apple in Wireless”, and their press release really makes it sound like it’s worth the £1300 pounds they want for it. Where to [...]

Disney Missing the Point
by Russell Buckley on 21. Apr, 2006 in Marketing
Imagine Mickey Mouse is running for a bus. It’s just pulled up at a bus stop 100 metres away and people are getting on. Mickey is running frantically down the street, dodging people, street furniture and rain puddles. Everyone is on the bus and the driver starts to indicate and pull out. Mickey is still [...]

Motorola’s latest quarterly results give some indication into what the RAZR’s doing for them… and it’s not all good news, says one Wall Street analyst. After I said that Moto was beating a dead horse, Russell Beattie wondered why they should mess with something that works. It’s a fair point — but the results go [...]

Subway Wanker Gets Off
by Carlo Longino on 19. Apr, 2006 in Community Power
Dan Hoyt, the pervert that got busted by cameraphone for masturbating on the NYC subway got off in a different way this week — receiving just two years’ probation for the crime.

Treo sites are abuzz this morning with blurry images of the Treo “Hollywood”, the next rumored device from Palm. I slated Motorola a bit during CTIA playing out the RAZR trend, and I think Palm faces a similar issue. They’ve been talking for a few years about how smartphones are their core business, and that [...]
