…you go see a great movie (The Dark Knight, in this case), and the most exciting thing you see is a Nokia touchscreen handset. And then you laugh when you see a main character with a years-old 6630 and feel like you’re part of an inside joke, ’cause, damn, what self-respecting movie badass police lieutenant [...]
I’ve had a very busy couple of weeks, so apologies for the lack of blogging. Among other things, it feels like I’ve been commuting to the US, with a trip to the West Coast and another to New York.
In between, I was interviewed by Sky News, so if you’re curious to see what I look [...]
It’s not just me that thinks Nokia’s a-bag-a-shite - SMS Text News:
I often feel that I am the only chap on the planet calling out Nokia for piss poor innovation and ridiculous, ridiculous lack of attention to really important elements %u2014 especially when I%u2019m regularly coming into contact with Symbian fanatics.

I’ve been using the Nokia Podcasting app on my N82, and I’m pretty happy with it. Like most people, I suspect, I’m terminally behind on keeping up with my podcasts, but it’s great being able to get the N82 to check for new updates and download them automatically, then listen to them in the car [...]

I’ve remained loyal because of their generally great service, [...]
AdMob (my employer, if you’re not from around these parts) has just served our 20 Billionth ad.
Yay!
My own involvement in the company goes back just over two years now, when I met Omar for the first time on St Patrick’s Day (March 18th) in Philadelphia, where he was just finishing the first year of [...]
My first “proper” job after university was on one of those accelerated graduate training courses for a booze company. It was the kind of role where you worked in 6 different departments over two years and where you realise that every single one of them think that they’re “at the sharp end” of the business [...]
When I was at CES a few weeks back, I used the MH Twitter and Flickr streams to post brief bits and photos from the show. I’m always on the prowl for a better solution, and while I think I’ve got something that will work a bit better for MWC in Barcelona, I thought I’d [...]
