Carlo wrote last week about Mobile Trends 2020, a project curated by our pal Rudy De Waele. Rudy has updated the slide show with contributions from me, as well as other people who failed to get their act together for the original deadline – or perhaps they decided that they would like to be part [...]
Digital Trash
by Russell Buckley on 14. Jan, 2010 in Analysis
Hardly a day goes by right now without some new announcement by some new startup or established player announcing that they’re launching an Augmented Reality platform that allows you to leave digital messages to others. Sometimes these are private messages to a specified group and sometimes they’re public, with everyone being able to access them, [...]
Does Online Shopping Need a High Street Presence?
by Russell Buckley on 14. Jan, 2010 in Analysis
Like many of us, this Christmas I received a Kindle in my stocking. I had really wanted one for ages, but it was only recently that they were kindly made available to us 94% of the global population who don’t live in the US. Go figure.
I really love my Kindle. I especially love the ability [...]
40% off M-Football Tickets
by Russell Buckley on 13. Jan, 2010 in Announcements, Personal
I’m just getting my agenda sorted out for the year and the first event I’m doing is M-Football next week in London, which looks like a great kick off (sorry!) for the World Cup year and one which will be hugely important for mobile too.
If you’d like a whopping 40% off and a day at [...]

by Russell Buckley on 04. Nov, 2009 in Analysis
I just put up a couple of posts that you might find worth a read.
At Media Week, I wrote about the amazing success of Pizza Hut’s relatively new iPhone App, that has already generated over $1 million in pizza sales. mCommerce has been a long time coming, but it’s arriving at last.
Also on the subject [...]
Meteorite Crash and Android Invasion
by Russell Buckley on 28. Oct, 2009 in Analysis, Marketing
I’ve been writing a few posts for others today and thought you might like to have a read.
This one was about a marketing stunt that’s badly backfired in Latvia, causing Tele2 to lose its Government contracts. Not all publicity is good publicity – the proof.
I’ve also been writing at Media Week about the implications of [...]
Media Week
by Russell Buckley on 21. Oct, 2009 in Analysis
If you’ve been missing MobHappy recently, I’ve been blogging quite a lot at Media Week, where I have a blog Mobsessed. Obviously, it tends to be more focused on mobile as media and the implications for advertising and is written for a less mobile literate audience than the average MobHappy reader.
If it would be useful, [...]
Mary Meeker Bigs Up the Mobile Web
by Russell Buckley on 21. Oct, 2009 in Analysis
If you ever had doubts about mobile going to be HUGE, check out this presentation by Morgan Stanley’s Mary Meeker. She stops just short of my concept of a Post PC Era, but only just!
It’s one of those presentations that you just want to tell everyone about and on a personal note, there’s a couple [...]

by Russell Buckley on 21. Oct, 2009 in Announcements, Carnival of the Mobilists
Many of you are readers and/or contributors of the Carnival of the Mobilists, that started here at MobHappy about 4 years ago and has now been published an impressive 196 times. During that time, it’s become something of an institution, with many of the best writers about mobile taking part.
[For those that don't know, the [...]

.I just came across this useful little feature for those of you who have iPhones out there.
If you want to take a screen shot of your iPhone, press down the Home button and then click the top button. The screen sort of flashes and then the shot is stored in the Camera Roll in [...]
