2007 Predictions 8 and 9
01.16.07 | Permalink | 3 CommentsHere’s my penultimate burst of predictions for this year – don’t forget to add yours in a comment or link from your own blog.
Prediction 8 – Mobile Payments
Carlo has already given his take on mobile payments next year and to a large extent I agree with him that the future probably lies with contactless payments (such as [...] -

2007 Predictions
01.13.07 | Permalink | 7 CommentsAs Russell promised, here are my predictions for 2007 following my stellar performance last year. You get all ten of mine in one go, though. Be sure to add your own predictions, or link to them elsewhere, in the comments.
1. Lots of mobile TV hype, but little in the way of actual success.CES saw some [...]

2007 Predictions – 5, 6 and 7
01.11.07 | Permalink | 3 CommentsA couple of quick ones today, as we continue to look at what’s going to happen this year, in my humble opinion.
Prediction 5 – European Data Tariffs
The Mary Elizabeth Mapes Dodge’s colloquial little fella has taken his finger out of the dyke and flat rate data packages have started to trickle into the marketplace with products [...] -

2007 Predictions 3 and 4
So, let’s continue with those predictions I started yesterday.
Prediction 3 - Bluetooth Unleashed
I’ve been pointing out for the last three years that Bluetooth filesharing is rampant on phones, particularly among kids. Late last year, we got some “official” evidence to that effect, with a claimed 29% of young kids sharing content through the back door. I’d say [...] -

2007 Predictions 1 and 2
01.08.07 | Permalink | Comments OffNow we’re all back to work, it’s about time for MobHappy’s 2007 Predictions. While they’re a bit of fun, Carlo and I have a pretty formidable record in this game, so if you’re interested in the mobile space, they’re worth a read. And if you’re not interested, why on earth are you reading this?

Revisiting My 2006 Predictions
12.15.06 | Permalink | 3 CommentsFollowing Russell’s lead, I thought I’d review my predictions for 2006 that I made at the end of last year. Ditto to his comment about the confusing numbering, we each did 10 out of 20, in no real order, and click through the links for the original posts detailing some of my original shots.

2006 Predictions
12.14.06 | Permalink | 6 CommentsNo, I’m not going to predict what’s going to happen this year with the benefit of hindsight. But about this time last year Carlo and I predicted what would happen in 2006, so I thought it would be amusing to review what we thought. Were we clever bunnies or the class dunces?
Here’s what I said [...] -

Bluetooth File Sharing IS Happening
12.08.06 | Permalink | 17 CommentsOne of the issues I’ve been banging about for the last three years is that kids are using Bluetooth to share music and ringtones. This has been met with widespread scepticism among ye of little faith.
New research commissioned by our friends at New Media Age released today shows that the tsunami I was talking about [...] -

Cashless Bus Tickets
09.21.06 | Permalink | 5 CommentsRobbing bus drivers of their takings from bus ticket sales is apparently a big problem in parts of Sweden, so much so that they stopped selling tickets on buses. But now they’ve switched to an sms based ticket system where punters get sent an sms with an expiry time built-in.
I assume this is going to lead [...] -

Never Do Live Demos
09.06.06 | Permalink | 11 CommentsIf there’s one learning you can take out of working with technology it’s - never do live demos. That means never. And the bigger and more important the audience, the more that rule holds true.
So if you’re demoing to your next door neighbour’s dog, you’re probably on pretty safe ground. But if you’re doing it [...]
