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 [...]
Finally getting over a bad case of jet lag and a bug I picked up in Barcelona, so it’s time to think back over last week a bit. A few initial thoughts: I’m still so glad that 3GSM left Cannes and moved to Barcelona, it’s better in pretty much every way in my estimation. 3GSM [...]
As the mobile world gathers today at Barcelona in preparation for the 3GSM onslaught, I’ve had a couple of dodgy experiences from the show organisers, who really ought to know better.
Firstly, when I was standing in line for registration, I was consistently urged to accept a Bluetooth message from “3GSM”. I’m assuming this was genuine, [...]
Russell and I will both be in Barcelona next week for the 3GSM World Congress, the industry’s biggest annual confab. My schedule is already pretty tight, and so is Russell’s, but if you want to meet up or show something off, feel free to drop me an email I’ll see if we can’t work something [...]
If you’re headed to Barcelona in February for the 3GSM World Congress, check out the Mobile Monday Global Peer Awards on Monday, February 12 at 3pm. It’s a free event, but places are limited, so sign up now. And even if you won’t be at the event, you’ll soon be able to nominate mobile applications [...]
As I’ve already written, 3GSM is huge and even spending all 4 days there would probably mean missing out on lots it has to offer. It would also leave you a foot-sore wreck, badly in need of a detox and a break from mobile stuff.
It’s very well organised as an event, but I do have [...]
