If you’ve been missing MobHappy recently, I’ve been blogging quite a lot at Media Week, where I have a blog Mobsessed. Obviously, it tends to be more focused on mobile as media and the implications for advertising and is written for a less mobile literate audience than the average MobHappy reader.
If it would be useful, [...]

Mary Meeker Bigs Up the Mobile Web
If you ever had doubts about mobile going to be HUGE, check out this presentation by Morgan Stanley’s Mary Meeker. She stops just short of my concept of a Post PC Era, but only just!
It’s one of those presentations that you just want to tell everyone about and on a personal note, there’s a couple [...]
The Guardian on The Future of In-Game Ads
There’s an interesting piece today in The Guardian Online, including an interview with me about how ads work in iPhone Apps and what that might mean in the wider market.
Check it out if you’re into this kind of thing.

Attack of the Killer Robots
I wrote a post a month or so ago, which I called Humanity 2.0, which was quite widely circulated and worth a read if you missed it, even though I say so myself. My basic premise was that as Artificial Intelligence take us nearer to The Singularity (where machines take over the world), we should [...]
The Trouble with Android
Our friend, Ajit Jaokar has just written linked to an interesting post about Android over at Forum Oxford (free registration required, but I’ve appended it below). UPDATE:The original post was by Tom Insam at Jerakeen.Org. Ajit Tom came up with a bunch of reasons why Android doesn’t quite make it. None of these would be [...]
A Future for IVR
When thinking about the new new thing, it’s quite easy to lose sight of opportunities in older technologies, such as Voice. Voice was obviously the first service to emerge in mobile telephony (that was the only thing you could do with the early phones, Best Beloved) and is still easily the highest revenue earner for [...]
Clay Shirky on Mobile and Twitter
I’ve been a long time fan of Clay Shirky. For instance, I loved his seminal “Permanet, Nearlynet, and Wireless Data” essay back in 2003 – still a must-read if you haven’t.
He’s always great value as a writer and as a speaker, so if you haven’t seen his TED talk on mobile, twitter and a few [...]

Humanity 2.0
Last night, I gave a speech at the American German Business Club about technology and The Singularity, which I’ve been thinking about a lot recently. The audience was very mixed, ranging in technology sophistication hugely, so I pitched it at a fairly tech-lite level, which seemed to work OK. Overall, the talk was very well [...]
Omar Hamoui on Competitive Threats and Team
I hope you’re finding this series of posts interesting – I’ve had great feedback, so I’ll continue with a few more posts.
Today, I’ve combined two areas, Competitive Threats and Team. I hope you find them useful.
Competitive Threats
Ignore the competition
If you need to constantly look at what your competition is doing in order to guide your [...]
