Verizon Palo Alto Store: ‘Yeah you don’t want the Blackberry Storm, it’s buggy’
If you were reading my Twitter feed earlier this afternoon, you’d have caught my update from outside the Verizon Wireless Store in Palo Alto. Here’s a pic: I was Palo Alto for a few meetings, one with a mobile titan (ID not public alas)
Got 60 friends? Spell out a message with Google Latitude
I came across this rather nifty proof-of-concept video from the Google Latitude team. Latitude, if you’re not familiar with it, is an add-on to Google Maps that (amongst other features) overlays an avatar of your friends on Google Maps. So if you’re out-and-about you can see their location.
Me: “What about the 400m Ovi compatible handsets by Dec 2010?” iPhone Dev Rockstar: “Uhhh?”
I’ve just come back from a brilliant event produced by AdMob .
The iPhone Ocharina competition: Smart
I came across the iPhone Ocarina music application ages ago. I can’t remember what I was doing online but I all of a sudden came across these two playing their 1st Generation iPhone Ocarinas to the tune of Row Row Row Your Boat: Heh. It turns out that the video was a submission to the Smule Ocharina competition
I created a Quick.tv demo video edit in 30 seconds
If all goes according to plan with this post, you should be seeing a video below… [ embed didn't work ] I mixed the video entirely online using Quick.tv’s beta point-and-click editing web system. Very, very smart indeed. I’ve been hearing a lot about Quick.tv for some time and I finally got a beta invitation [...]
I’ve moved to San Francisco, centre of the Mobile World
San Francisco I’ve moved to the City By The Bay — again. I spent December 07 and January-February 08 in San Francisco with Mobile Industry Review (or SMS Text News as it was known then). I had a fabulous time meeting the great and the good in the mobile and interactive industries. There’s no escaping [...]
Motorola: Nothing to see here, move along, move along
I headed by the Motorola stand to see what they’d got to show off. Just a preface: We’re at America’s largest, most influential trade show. Motorola’s spend hundreds of thousands to deliver a big stand, they’ve flown in all their top people and … this is the bollocks they’ve got to show off: I kid [...]
Finally a Windows Mobile handset I’d actually buy
I popped by the HTC stand yesterday and had a browse around. I’m normally hugely pained by HTC  brilliant devices completely hampered by Windows Mobile. Admittedly v6.1 of the OS is an improvement  but it’s still fundamentally annoying. I can’t stand the screen build-out and the fact that it simply can’t handle doing [...]
AT&T’s $99 Nokia E71x  renaissance or last gasp?
That there is a Nokia E71x  the AT&T version of the uber popular QWERTY Nokia handset. Yup  the E71 is coming to America. It’s being offered at a hugely attractive $99 (â€Âafter mail-in $50 rebateâ€Â) on a 2-year contract. I remember last year standing at a Nokia PR event in San Francisco whilst [...]
Why Mobileways were right to price Gravity at $10
At the Nokia dinner I was at last night, a large percentage of the room was Twittering away using Gravity, the new Twitter client from developers, Mobileways. They were loving it. All of a sudden your common-or-garden E71 has been transformed into a hive of interactivity. “What were you using before Gravity?†I asked one [...]
