Plus, MobHappy readers can get $100 of the first year of membership, so it’ll only cost you $200.

In fact, in certain markets, the mobile web is very big indeed already (India and [...]

Here, We’ll Make This Mobile Thing Easy For You
07.17.06 | Permalink | 15 CommentsIn the current social-networking boom, one glaring oversight has been the dearth of mobile integration — a few things notwithstanding, like Helio’s MySpace arrangement, or mobile-specific services like Rabble. There are some mobile services here and there, and some blogging sites offer users the ability to moblog, but for the most part, outside more specialist [...]

Plusmo, Another Startup Trying To Help The Web Go Mobile
06.07.06 | Permalink | 6 CommentsA new startup called Plusmo is launching today, and its application combines an RSS reader along with support for “gadgets” (think widgets). Its difference from some other similar applications is that it can automatically fetch your content and then store it locally on the device, meaning you don’t necessarily have to connect to view content, [...]

Real World Wiki Gets Closer
05.29.06 | Permalink | 9 CommentsLast August, I gave a speech at Wikimania (a conference for passionate Wikipedists) in which I envisioned a Real World Wikipedia. The idea I was promoting was that we could annotate our real world environment with a kind of virtual graffiti, which we could access via our mobile phones.
The graffiti could be factual (Wikipedia style), [...] -

Bacardi’s B-Live Goes Live
05.17.06 | Permalink | 9 CommentsBacardi have just launched their B-Live radio channel on both the web, but perhaps more interestingly for MobHappy readers, on the mobile. It’s a music-only channel, with no DJs, ads or interruptions and runs 24/7 with music that’s chosen to dance to.

The idea is that Motorola are launching a special red version of their SLVR mobile, across all four UK GSM networks and will retail it via [...] -

Juvino Targets Operator Gouging
05.08.06 | Permalink | 4 CommentsWe don’t go in for gratuitous operator bashing here at MobHappy and I’m very pleased to say that we have many readers who work for operators around the world.

Tex2Me Offers Free Messaging
04.24.06 | Permalink | 9 CommentsEarlier today, I wrote about Hotxt, which offers cheap messaging via a Java application over GPRS. I concluded that I was a little luke warm about it, despite their high profile investor, and that it had usability issues and would be more ballsy if it were free.

Sandi Thom - The People’s Idol
04.10.06 | Permalink | 3 CommentsOne of the more bizarre mini-rants I witnessed at CTIA was the representative of a major record label publicly berating operators about holding back the mobile music industry, with the accusation that they “just didn’t get it”. This from a sector who couldn’t even see “it”, let alone get it for the last 6 years. [...]
