Jonathan MacDonald (“jMac”) explores the world of mobile advertising in his 5 episode series on Mobile Industry Review beginning today. Episode one features a discussion with Freddy Friedman, Director of Marketing, Mobile Advertising at Mobixell Networks.

A vertiable who’s who is heading to the ICA’s Nash Room tomorrow night in London to ‘powwow’ about the Every Single One Of Us concept initiated by Jonathan MacDonald. Every Single One Of Us is a communications movement with a vision to enable and enhance interaction between people and commerce, aiming to safeguard user experience. [...]
Jonathan MacDonald’s MIR Show takeover
A month back I invited mobile advertising guru Jonathan MacDonald to do a MIR Show ‘takeover’ for a week. I envisioned Jonathan inviting five guests that he really, really rates — connected to the mobile advertising arena — to sit down with him and have a chat on camera. I thought it would be explosive, [...]
Exclusive: palm prē not made by HTC
Mobile Industry Review has it exclusively from a well placed source, the prē was not manufactured by HTC for Palm. It has been rumoured the HTC Touch looking device by Palm was said to be of an original design manufacturer (ODM) model, by the High Tech Computer Corporation. Only now, despite all the evidence in [...]
NSA-approved handset runs Windows Mobile
Goodness me. This is the phone that is apparently approved — or at least possible for — Mr President-Elect Obama to use. You know how he’s ‘addicted’ to Blackberry? Well, give him one of these and watch him become immediately un-addicted. Windows Mobile. Total total unmitigated rubbish when you ACTUALLY want to use a device [...]
ShoZu Photo Of The Day: Fun Facts? NO thanks!
Today’s ShoZu Photo Of The Day is a screenshot. My screenshot. I’ve included this in our ShoZu daily line up because I was particularly keen to document a ‘feature’ of the service I use a lot. I use Anthony Pranata’s brilliant ‘Screenshot’ for Symbian to capture screenshots on my Nokia N95 8GB. When I take [...]
The HTC Tungsten will be the new T-Mobile G2
After our posts about the HTC Tungsten the other day, we’ve heard from various knowing sources that it will most certainly be the next generation T-Mobile G2. Just from the pictures the Tungsten looks a lot more SOLID than the pop-out-and-wobble-about G1. Interesting. I am, actually, quite enjoying my G1 at the moment. As long [...]
115,000 Brits text [Mid-East] CEASEFIRE in 3 days
Save The Children ran a text campaign, via the chaps at Incentivated, recently, regarding the current Middle East conflict. It garnered 115,000 responses. All you had to do was text CEASEFIRE to 81819. The appeal was carried in half/full page ads in UK newspapers The Guardian, Daily Mail and Sunday Times amongst others. Smart. The [...]
We’re off to Nott Tuesday next month
Do you live in and around Nottingham? You know, Sherwood Forest-and-that? Good. I’ve got a networking event for you. Yes, tech networking in the heart of Robin Hood country. The inspired name of the event is Nott Tuesday, held every 2nd Tuesday of the month. The inaugural event is on the 10th of February and [...]
UK’s cheapest tariff to launch at £8.99
Carphone Warehouse is set to launch a sub £9 T-Mobile contract, according to a report on the mobile news website Mobile Today. If and when this arrives, it will be the cheapest tariff in the UK by one penny. That’s right, 1p. Don’t knock this though, as the saying goes – if you look after [...]
More updates to Mobile Industry Review
I had another field-day this evening with sodding cascading style sheets on Mobile Industry Review. Eventually I just stuck in some tables and woosh, it worked. I will arse about with the CSS to try and make it work another time. Here’s the latest update: I’ve split the news stories down the left and made [...]
And that’s the Mobile World Congress silly season off again
Hundreds of emails have come flying in. “Dear Ewan, I see you are attending Mobile World Congress.” Yes, I say out loud as I read on. “I wonder if you’d be interested in meeting somebody, from some company, that you probably don’t want to really hear about?” I do the mental equivalent of a cautionary [...]
