MobHappy

Refresh Mobile is somewhat well known for their Java-based mobizines, which Russell wrote about last year. But they’re back with a new project, called Mippin. At its most basic level, Mippin is essentially a web-based mobile RSS reader, and it does a great job of letting users follow their favorite sites and blogs through their [...]

I travel a lot for AdMob – actually it feels like too much sometimes – and the site I use most consistently is Orbitz. I do try other sites from time to time, but find myself returning to them most often, as a result of the combination of best value and their tools. So, it’s [...]

There have been a handful of new service launches in the last week or so that are worth noting, if you’ve not seen them already. As MH reader Zec pointed out in a comment, PayPal launched PayPal Mobile Checkout, which is similar to Google Checkout’s mobile features I covered a few weeks ago. PayPal can [...]

Scott Seaborn (no, that’s not his picture) writes to tell us about a new marketing channel his company, Magnet Harlequin, has developed. Snap Happy (no relation to MobHappy) allows people to take a photo with their mobile of a specific item and MMS it into a central number. In this case, the item is the [...]

Last week I had a meeting with some people at CeBIT in Hanover and took the opportunity to have a quick look round for a couple of hours. To put this in perspective, it’s about as ambitious as being in¬†the UK¬†and taking half a¬†day to look round London – all you’re going to get is [...]

Having said that, no matter how well you might know me, I won’t write about your stuff unless [...]

When I was in London in October, I had the good fortune that my visit coincided with one of the Swedish Beers put on by the lovely Helen Keegan, and as expected, I met a great bunch of new people and caught up with some old friends, like the Future Platforms crew. I also met [...]

Google has announced a Java-based Gmail application, adding to the mobile web version of Gmail that’s been around for a while. At first glance, it seems pretty decent — it’s very simple and straightforward, and works pretty much like you’d expect, with zero configuration. I’ve installed it on a Nokia E61, and I’m hard pressed [...]

Idea a Day¬†does what it says on the tin. You sign up and they send you an idea every day by email. Ideas are on all subjects, come from the readers and some of them are very good indeed. Day 2261 “Equip cell phones to allow personalised vibration sequences so that the user can identify [...]

I posted about some of the findings of mobileYouth a few months back. The report is now out and the team behind it are having a virtual networking event at Habbo Hotel. So head on over there and pick the analyst’s brains and hang out with other cool and froody mobile people. Shame that the [...]
