Only this afternoon, something strange happened with [...]
Microsoft’s (mobile) productivity vision for the future
Although this Microsoft video isn’t just about mobile, the medium features quite often in this fascinating 5 minute view of the future. Really, really, really cool. Take a few minutes and have a look at some of the technology they’re exposing.
Vodafone is looking to appoint a new head of 360
I hear from reliable sources that Vodafone are hunting for a CEO — or big cheese — to oversee their social networking and applications platform, Vodafone 360.

Vodafone UK launches the iPhone on 14th of January – order today
Finally, Vodafone is able to announce the launch date of the iPhone. You can almost feel the relief sweeping over the company this morning. First it was Orange, waving it in their faces — then Tesco — TESCO! — and now, we’ve got a launch date of the 14th of January 2010. But you can [...]
o2 Buys Jajah for $200m
Congratulations to the team at Jajah who — according to Reuters — have sold out to Telefonica’s o2. I’ve always been a big fan of the telephony service and this, I suspect, represents a fairly decent exit for the Jajah team.

Do you want your app reviewed in Vogue America?
Here’s my pitch: You’re a journalist writing for some of America’s biggest and most influential consumer media publications. You’re busy doing your job and you don’t have a lot of time to focus on this new burgeoning market of mobile applications. You understand that it’s not all about the iPhone but you simply don’t have [...]
Senior industry executive comments on our ‘Vodafone 360 Pissing War’

I obviously won’t identify the chap, except to say I’m looking forward to meeting up with him and his team prior to Mobile World Congress.

The Nexus One won’t tempt me away from the iPhone
It’s Jonathan Mulholland here once again! Like most mobile geeks, I’m really enjoying all the Google Nexus One news; it’s starting to sound like a very nice device, and it’s obviously a very interesting move by Google. Seeing their vision of what a modern mobile device should be — and how far Google feel they [...]
