I was perfectly happy to largely ignore the iPhone and just find somebody else’s to play with, until a day or two ago. As Friday’s launch has neared, I’ve felt more and more inclind to get one — though the prospect of dropping $500 and being tied to AT&T for two years isn’t appealing at [...]

Rutberg Hits London
Rutberg & Co are an investment bank, who have a famously research-centric approach to life and put on great, small, intimate invitation-only conferences where networking is a major part of the agenda. I was lucky enough to be invited to today’s event in London to hear two panels speak about mobile convergence and UGC, respectively. [...]
User Generated Content Creators v Consumers
eMarketer has an analysis of how User Generated Content (UGC) creators stack up numberwise to those of us who merely passively consume the content. They’re obviously really only talking about the web at this stage, but since UGC is HOT for mobile too, it’s interesting to look at the overall trends, as an indicator of [...]
In the Meantime
While we wait to get things back in order here, you might want to have a look at the new blog set up by our friends at Phone Scoop. While their main site stays focused on the US handset market, they’re dialing up the introspection and opinion on the blog. Good stuff. —–>Follow us on [...]
Working to Restore Normal Service…
Do not adjust your set, things are looking very funny on MobHappy, thanks to a WordPress upgrade gone awry (well, thanks to an idiot performing a WordPress upgrade, really…).

A Few Launches Worth Noting
There have been a handful of new service launches in the last week or so that are worth noting, if you’ve not seen them already. As MH reader Zec pointed out in a comment, PayPal launched PayPal Mobile Checkout, which is similar to Google Checkout’s mobile features I covered a few weeks ago. PayPal can [...]
MyStrands Grabs $25M In Funding
MyStrands, the music recommendation and personalization company I’ve covered before, has just announced that it’s raised a $25 million investment round — a pretty hefty sum, and one that should help it continue to build and grow. I find MyStrands to be one of the more interesting companies in the growing recommendation space because mobile [...]

Executive Director of MMA EMEA – Wanted
I thought MobHappy readers could help spread the word about this high profile job in mobile marketing – Executive Director of the Mobile Marketing Association for the EMEA Region. See below for the full description, which is really hot off the press, as I’m on the EMEA Board. It’s a full time and competitively paid, [...]
Well, I Guess It’s Better Than Saying ‘Novarra Breaks The Mobile Internet For Vodafone UK Subscribers’
It would appear that Novarra’s the vendor responsible for the cock-up that rendered many mobile web sites useless for Vodafone UK subscribers. The company’s put out a press release touting the wonders of its “Vision(TM) server version 6.5″, highlighting the “rich user experience” it offers, and how it “automatically transforms the web to fit handset [...]
