One of the finalists of last year’s Mobile Peer Awards in Barcelona was Mob4Hire, which showed an awful lot of potential. I caught up with them this year again at MWC and was really pleased to see that they were fulfilling their early promise and adding new services to their core offering.
Mob4Hire is the inspiration [...]

MWC from Afar, 2010 Edition
It’s February, which can only mean one thing in mobile — MWC in Barcelona. I’ve stayed home in Las Vegas again this year as I finish up my MBA courses, but I’ve been living vicariously through Twitter and following along with the news, while looking at pictures of jamon (see right). A number of topics [...]
MWC From Afar
It was more than a little odd to not be at MWC this year. The event and its predecessors had been a regular stop for me for several years running, and I missed the chance to connect with friends, readers and contacts. In any case, I did have a few thoughts on things I saw [...]

MoMo Global Peer Awards 2009
I’m just back from Mobile World Congress and will try and jot some impressions down later, from my observations. But one of the highlights (as always) was the Mobile Monday Global Peer Awards, part of which I was lucky enough to judge again this year, for the third time running.
The idea is that each [...]
One More MWC Event: Swedish Beers
If you’re in Barcelona for MWC next week, I will definitely envy you getting the chance to hit up my perennial favorite event, Swedish Beers on Wednesday at 6:30pm. If you’re in London and in mobile, you already know about Swedish Beers (and if you don’t, find out quick); the Barcelona installment is always a [...]

Another Winner from BBH
My main reason for attending the GSMA’s Mobile Asia Conference in Macau this week, was because the MMA was joint sponsoring the Mobile Advertising stream, where I was speaking partly as AdMob and partly as the Global Chair of the MMA.
To be honest, the overall event was a little disappointing and nowhere near the scale [...]
Thoughts On MWC/3GSM/Whatever It’ll Be Called In 2 Years
As I said yesterday, my MWC experience got cut short by some stomach fun, but I have managed to collect some thoughts on the event.
– Damn, it’s big. I’ve been going to this event for several years now, stretching back to the Cannes days, and it just keeps getting bigger. I’m not sure that’s such [...]
Don’t Eat The Shrimp
Some dodgy food (I’m thinking a piece of shrimp at a party Monday night) put paid to my MWC experience, forcing me to spend Tuesday and Wednesday in my hotel room with a lovely bit of food poisoning. Hence the lack of updates, as I was fairly certain regular posts about what I was seeing [...]
Nokia does it again
The buzz thus far (yet again) is Nokia’s new devices, including the
update to its powerhouse N95, the aptly named N96. I spent some time
with the N96 and the other new devices, the N78, the 6220 Classic and
the 60-something or other Navigator just now (and I managed to leave
my SD card reader in the hotel, so [...]
