One of the finalists of last year’s Mobile Peer Awards in Barcelona was Mob4Hire, which showed an awful lot of potential.

Digital Trash II
by Russell Buckley on 12. Feb, 2010 in Analysis
About a month ago, I wrote a post exploring the potential downsides of the new hot topic of Augmented Reality. As a reminder, while I’m a huge fan of AR and have been for years, but that doesn’t mean that I’m blind to future problems, unlike many pundits who are busy hyping it up. One [...]

by Russell Buckley on 12. Feb, 2010 in Announcements
It’s that time of the year again. Our pal, Tomi Ahonen (consultant, speaker, blogger, Tweeter, raconteur and all-round good Mobilist) has just launched his Almanac for the year – a steal at €9.99.

The Disruption of Politics
by Russell Buckley on 26. Jan, 2010 in Analysis
There are a bunch of sectors going through huge disruptions at the moment, whether it’s newspapers, telephony (via VoIP), books, TV, music, film, mobile handsets and if those rumours are right, the PC might be coming in for a fair bit of disruption tomorrow too. But one sector that is changing and doesn’t get a [...]
Piracy Might be Good for Business
by Russell Buckley on 26. Jan, 2010 in Analysis, Music
We’ll all too aware that record companies have been blaming their industry woes on people who download music without paying for it. They’re also very fond of making the flawed assumption that every track downloaded for free would have been paid for if the free option didn’t exist – despite no evidence to support the [...]

Carlo wrote last week about Mobile Trends 2020, a project curated by our pal Rudy De Waele.
