Is the Wap Glass 1/4 Full, or 3/4 Empty?
08.09.06 | Permalink | 12 CommentsA new survey by hosting group, Hostway, has found that 27% of UK mobile users browse the mobile web.
This is uncannily close to the last M:Metrics’ data I saw, which put it at 29%. Whatever the exact figure, I think it’s pretty remarkable that WAP has progressed this far and it’s certainly not a case [...] -

Mobile 2.0 IS NOT Web 2.0
02.06.06 | Permalink | 11 CommentsIntroduction
Fellow Web 2.0 Workgroup member Ajit Joakar has been creating an extensive series of posts over at his blog Open Gardens about Mobile Web 2.0 and how it is defined as well as how it compares to or differs from Web 2.0. Ajit’s work, which is very well thought out and truly comprehensive [...] -

Prediction 6 Comes Home to Roost
01.24.06 | Permalink | Comments OffIn my 2006 Predictions, I suggested that Gizmondo, the inept wannabe entrant into the handheld gaming market, must die.
Sure enough, less than 20 days later, Gizmondo Europe have filed for bankruptcy. I don’t doubt that a similar fate awaits the US arm in due course.
Gizmondo must be a classic case study of inept management, not [...] -

Warm and Wireless: the Audex Jacket by Motorola and Burton
01.21.06 | Permalink | Comments OffMashups aren’t just for the web. If nothing else, the Audex Jacket, a bluetooth enabled high tech piece of outerwear co-developed by Motorola and Burton proves that fact with panache. I can’t count the number of times I tried to configure electronic gear and sporting attire (for me cycling gear) in such a [...]

Apple Signals iPhone
01.18.06 | Permalink | 10 CommentsCarlo included a link last week about Apple’s recent patent Trademark filing around Mobile Me. Closer examination reveals that the patent trademark covers a wide range of possibilities, including “digital music,” “cellular” and “telecommunications.”
My first prediction for 2006 was that Apple would launch a mobile phone this year, as opposed to the iTunes phone [...] -

The Difficulty of Predictions
01.11.06 | Permalink | Comments OffWhile I’m standing by our predictions we made in the last few weeks, I was reminded of why predicting the future is so damn impossible while I was on holiday over the New Year period.
I was in South Africa (great place, if you get a chance to go) and was on Safari, like you do. [...] -

01.09.06 | Permalink | 5 CommentsSo, as we start a new working year, we come to the end of our predictions for 2006.
If you haven’t been following our predictions over the holiday season, I think it’s worth flicking through them so see what we think 2006 has in store for the mobile world. Even if it’s just so you have [...] -

2006 Predictions 17 and 18
17. Mobile payments still won’t take off outside Asia.
18. Presence, or some sort of availability management software/system will be a hotly desired feature by the end of the year.

2006 Predictions 15 and 16
01.04.06 | Permalink | 2 Comments15. Mobile virus FUD will continue unabated, but with no real threat or impact.
16. Mobile blogging and photoblogging will grow, filling in a personal media-sharing gap intended for MMS.
MMS has never materialized as a replacement for SMS, mainly because it’s not suited for the types of communication at which SMS excels. Marketing MMS as "like [...]
