Dan Lane runs through every single piece of equipment we took with us to the Mobile World Congress. We’ve had multiple requests from people wondering what sort of technology we use to produce the show — I’m not just talking cameras and microphones, I’m talking surrounding equipment — the sort of device that we couldn’t [...]

Mobile Tech & being completely ill-prepared for visit to Paris
I took quite a risk coming to Paris today. Huge risk. I didn’t bring a guide book. I didn’t bring a map. I didn’t even print out a Google Map of the hotel’s location. In fact I didn’t even lookup the Mobile Monday Paris location until I was in my hotel room. A prepared traveler [...]
Mobile Network App Stores: Utter, utter rubbish today
That’s the fifth presentation that I’ve been to — in as many weeks — featuring some kind of Mobile Operator attempting to explain to a room full of application developers just what they’re trying to do to support mobile development. My most recent experience was watching the chap from Orange France at Mobile Monday Paris [...]
Nokia’s Virtual Music Launch
A mysterious, puzzling, thought provoking, email arrived today from Nokia’s press office. An email which included the invite to ‘The Nokia Virtual Music launch’ this coming Wednesday, with no more details than what’s provided below, word for word. Nokia would like to cordially invite you to the Nokia Virtual Music launch event which is taking [...]

35 operator reps at MoMo Paris
There are *35* people on the mobile operator list of attendees at tonight’s MoMo Paris. THIRTY-FIVE! I was so excited I counted them! Goodness me. What a super turnout. I’d love to see something similar at London events. You’re lucky if you get a token presence at most events in the UK. Sent from my [...]

Cisco shed’s boring rep by taking us into The Realm
Somebody at Cisco has unplugged their current reality and given the company a personality transplant (for the positive). Have you seen their latest offering? I’d be buying a lot more Cisco equipment if it made me look like the protagonists featuring in The Realm. The Cisco Security team has — and I quote — “come [...]
Next generation mobile internet powered by coffee!
Ok… so it’s not quite what you might have been thinking. Thank you to Mr P for sending this in. Why the chap pictured is walking about with an ‘internet’ sign on his head, I do not know. I suspect the service level is a lot more consistent than your average mobile broadband experience, though.
Tonight’s Mobile Monday Paris features some interesting companies
I am going to be taking a stroll down Rue la Fayette shortly — or, more likely — a cab — toward tonight’s Monday Monday Paris event. My pigeon French is good enough to be able to more-or-less understand the running order tonight: Four presentations, four visions of the present and the future… 19h : [...]
Orange and Barclaycard introducing mobile payments (Updated)
It’s just a small entry on page 5 of today’s London Telegraph Business section. Indeed it’s only 6 paragraphs of text – maybe 150 words. But it’s explosive news for the UK mobile payments sector. For years as both consumers and mobile industry cheerleaders, we’ve been sat waiting for something like this to happen — [...]
