…will store your latte preferences and order it for you when you walk up to a coffee stand (which it’s also located for you), says Nokia CTO Tero Ojanpera. And all this by 2010, too.
Heady stuff. Didn’t realize that device convergence would usurp the latte-ordering function of human beings, too.

The Phone Of The Future…
All The Small Things
Here I am at the Nokia World event, surrounded by all sorts of fantastic new technologies and devices showing the leading edge of mobile technology — but somewhere between Rafe of All About Symbian and I, there’s an SMS breakdown. He gets messages from my American SIM and account, but somehow messages he sends from [...]
Hello Amsterdam
Russell’s usually got much more clever titles for these things than me, but oh well. Anyhow, the MobHappy European tour continues this week, as I’m awaiting a flight to Amsterdam for the Nokia World event, where I’ll be contributing to a group blog about the event as well as posting some stuff here at MobHappy.

This Is London Calling
I have a bit of a busy week ahead, but if anyone is attending any of these events that I’m speaking at, make sure you come and say hello:
Wednesday I’m at Visiongain’s Mobile Advertising Conference 2006¬†speaking on “Advertising on the mobile web”.
Thursday sees me at¬†Library House’s MediaTech¬†with a dual role. I’ll be speaking in the [...]
Mobile Myth Busting
There’s a number of myths about mobile, so this post may well turn into a series – if there’s a myth you’d like to bust, perhaps you’d like to leave a comment.
However, I was put in mind of one of the most prevalent and enduring myths by a post over at Ewan’s incredibly prolific, if¬†maybe [...]
Daniel Taylor: Let’s Address The Industry’s Failures, Not Ignore Them
MH pal Daniel Taylor of the Mobile Enterprise Alliance made an interesting and eloquent response to Russell’s earlier post on mobile web stats, and we thought it was worth pulling out and highlighting on its own. Daniel’s made some minor changes and kindly allowed us to reprint it as a post. Take it away, Daniel:
In [...]
Mobile Web Stats Disapointing
The Mobile Data Association has announced the latest quarterly stats¬†for mobile web usage. And, to be honest, they’re really disappointing.
Why? Well, they’re meaningless.
The main issue is that (like many such stats) they make no distinction between downloads and browsing, which is a big difference in user behaviour.
Secondly, the headline of 40.7 million users in the [...]
Reporo Revisited
This time last year, I reviewed a¬†mobile based shopping application – Reporo. On a visit to London last week, it was interesting to catch up with the company and see how they’d fared in the last year.
In my original review, my main concern was how much of a demand there was for mobile-based shopping right [...]
3, Oh How You Make Me Feel Conflicted
For a long time, it was pretty easy to poke holes in (and fun of) Hutchison’s 3G operator, 3. From the way Hutch MD Canning Fok conducted interviews, to its bone-headed insistence that video calls would lead users in droves to 3G, to its later shift to attract user by slashing the cost of the [...]
