Credit Where Credit Is Due… And Where It Isn’t
07.14.08 | Permalink | 16 CommentsThe iHype continues this morning, with the world’s press breathlessly repeating the Apple PR saying the company sold 1 million iPhones over the weekend. That’s a decent number, and eclipses by far the first-gen model, which El Jobso is keen to remind us took 74 days to hit that model. Of course, selling the new […]

The Walled Gardens of TV
I was speaking yesterday at the Broadband Connect conference in London. I couldn’t stay and mix as much as I’d have liked, but it was full of delegates and speakers who don’t often collide with the pure mobile technology and advertising worlds that I normally inhabit.

More On The Big Symbian News
06.24.08 | Permalink | 4 CommentsAs Russell mentioned earlier, some big news from Symbian today. Nokia’s buying the rest of Symbian that it doesn’t already own, and will then create the Symbian Foundation, in collaboration with a number of other companies, and make Symbian royalty-free and open-source.

06.24.08 | Permalink | 5 CommentsHard on the heels of yesterday’s announcement from Google that the launch of Android would be delayed from the second quarter to the fourth, is a potentially huge one from Symbian that could make Android completely irrelevant when devices eventually do start to ship.

Music to the Ears
New Media Age carries a story about a survey that found that 63% of young people (14 - 24 year olds) ‘fessed up to downloading music illegally.
Apart from almost certainly proving that the other 37% are lying, it does demonstrate pretty well that the music industry’s problems are ongoing and will almost certainly get worse. […] -

Welcome to the Year 2000
06.16.08 | Permalink | 7 CommentsOne of my speaking gigs last week was EDM08 in London. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay for long, but I did catch a very interesting presentation by O2’s Mike Short, currently VP of R&D. I first met Mike back in ZagMe days and he’s always good value.
In his presentation, he showed a couple of really fascinating […] -

Amsterdam MoMo, Doc Searls, VRM and Chetan Sharma
06.03.08 | Permalink | 4 CommentsI was speaking last night at Mobile Monday, Amsterdam, rumoured to be the biggest MoMo in the world. Certainly 450 friendly and enthusiastic people turned out last to watch a bunch of people ranging from local Dutch companies (in Dutch) to the legendary Doc Searls, author, Chetan Sharma, Blyk’s Antii Ohrling and myself. The buzz […]

The Dark Fleet of Google
05.15.08 | Permalink | 6 CommentsNicolas at Pasta & Vinegar has an interesting piece quoting from a story that ran in Italy about the effect of the Google Streetview project in Rome.
