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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
While I, sadly, won’t be in Barcelona for MWC this year, exciting events are carrying on nonetheless
A great event for developers is the WIP Jam Session, going down on Thursday, Feb. 19:

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’m finishing up breakfast and getting ready to head over to the Fira here in Barcelona, where the Mobile World Congress kicks off this morning. The handset announcements and other news have already started to flow, and there’s lots to see. Be sure to check back with us this week as Russell and I bring [...]
The event formerly known as the 3GSM — now called the “Mobile World Congress” — in Barcelona is about a month away. We’ll be there again, covering the event in the inimitable MH style, and looking to meet up with community members and other interesting folks at a variety of events. In addition to [...]
