I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago, for which I was gleefully called out on by some Apple fan boys. Basically, I predicted that the iPod quarterly sales would decline again due to strong growth in phone-based MP3 players Рa triumph for the Conversionists over their gang rivals, the Separatistas.
In the event, I [...]

The Mobile v the iPod Revisited
.mobi Auctions Raise More Questions Than They Answer
I’m not going to rehash my point of view on .mobi; I’ve done so plenty before, and plenty of holes have been poked in their plans on other sites as well. Needless to say, I’m not a big fan. And I find their plans to auction off so-called premium domains nothing short of ridiculous. The [...]
The BlackBerry As An Anti-Status Symbol
I was flipping through radio stations last night in the car, and managed to catch some of a BBC World Service show called Culture Shock. I tuned in at the end of a report on augmented cognition, which sounds a little freaky. Anyhow, they had on a “trendwatcher” to discuss it and a few other [...]

Worst Mobile URL Ever?
I’ve been messing around with Net News Wire and its ability to sync up to NewsGator Online, thinking that might be a nice way to read RSS feeds on my mobile device (something I don’t really do anyway, but still). So I get everything synced with a minimum of fuss, eventually located the page where [...]
Personalised Vibration

Day 2261
“Equip cell phones to allow personalised vibration sequences so that the user can identify who is [...]
Noo York
I’ll be in New York from 5th November for a few days, at Ad:Tech¬†if anyone fancies meeting up.
Perhaps get together at a local watering hole to chat about all things mobile and anything else that springs to mind at the time. Sunday night would be good.

Web 3.0
Much as I hate all this 2.0 and 3.0 business, it does seem to have entered the popular vernacular, so what can you do? Just as every scandal has “-gate” rudely appended, we’re obviously stuck with these and can’t do much bur grin and bear it.
That aside, I was listening to Cameron Reilly’s G’Day World [...]
Mobile Web Day – Have Your Say
In my post yesterday about mobile web usage, I concluded¬†with a rather throw-away remark about having a Mobile Web Day – partly a celebration of where we are already and partly to evangelize to non-users and the press that it’s big, useful and mainstream, already.
I reposted this over at the Oxford Forum and so far [...]
SavaJe In Its Death Throes
Guy Kewney first reported the rumors last week, and now eWeek’s running a story saying that SavaJe, the developer of a Java mobile phone OS, is about to go under. This is hardly surprising, really — about this time last year I was surprised to find that the company was still in business, and I’ve [...]
