Scan it with your Mobile
It’s been possible for ages to take pictures of documents with your mobile’s camera, upload them to a PC and then view them very clearly. The trouble is that they have to be blown up so big to be legible that you can’t read them at A4 size on your screen or print them out, which makes [...]

Background Tones
07.31.06 | Permalink | 9 CommentsWay back in the late 90’s, we had that weird idea that people could personalise the sound their phone made when it rang. And so, perhaps the least expected billion dollar market emerged since err…sms a few years earlier.
So don’t scoff at background tones which are the happening trend in India, according to Mobile Entertainment magazine. [...] -

Yahoo and Mobile Search
07.05.06 | Permalink | 6 CommentsOne of my fellow speakers at the Barcelona chapter of Mobile Monday was Ricardo Baeza-Yates Director of Yahoo! Research Barcelona. Ricardo had to leave early, so we didn’t have much of a chance for a chat, but there were some very interesting aspects of his presentation.
I think it’s fair to say that Ricardo sees mobile as [...] -

Asking The Wrong Questions About Ad-Supported Content
06.06.06 | Permalink | 2 CommentsA new study says that half of European mobile users are interested in mobile TV, and would pay an average of €10 per month for it. That seems pretty high, butwhat’s more interesting is that the study found “over 65% of those questioned expressing zero tolerance to what many consider to be an unwelcome intrusion [...]

Hiding The Mobile Internet
05.10.06 | Permalink | 8 CommentsA new study from the UK says that just 11% of British mobile users have “browsed the Internet on a mobile”, compared to 28% worldwide. I find the UK stat pretty hard to believe, given the healthy mobile content market there, though it does appear to jive with M:Metrics’ usage figures from March. The survey [...]

Google and the Mobile Sex Search Mystery
04.25.06 | Permalink | 3 CommentsIt shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that people are using Google mobile search to find porn, but a new study has found that this type of search is twice as likely to happen as on Google on computers. Nearly 1 in 5 mobile searches are looking for adult entertainment, with the runners up [...]

Is Hotxt Hot?
04.24.06 | Permalink | 11 CommentsHotxt has been attracting quite a lot of attention in the UK, not the least because it’s backed by Dragon’s Den entrepreneur Doug Richard. Dragon’s Den is a TV programme where wannabe entrepreneurs pitch their wares to a panel of VCs.
Hotxt is a mobile messaging service that offers an all-you-can eat menu for £1 ($1.79) [...] -

SpinVox
04.13.06 | Permalink | 4 CommentsI caught up with SpinVox at CTIA, who offer a voice-to-text messaging service, which I thought was pretty groovy.
The idea is that you get through to someone’s voice mail and leave a message, as normal. Their voice recognition system then converts it into text and sends it as an sms. You don’t have to speak [...] -

Quote of the Day
On Friday I wrote about mobile marketing and how both the ad industry and operators seem to be trying to force old thinking into a new channel.
So this quote from AOL veteran, Ted Leonsis, couldn’t have been more timely:
Whenever new media tries to replicate old media, it tends to fail. When it takes advantage [...]
