Jabra Stone — this week’s newsletter prize
If you read *all* the way to the end of the weekly Mobile Industry Newsletter — after the Vodafone bile analysis — right to the end, you’ll find the fun bit. That’s where we give away a wickedly good prize. To enter the prize, you simply have to tweet a specific phrase. I started doing [...]
Vodafone 360 – An Absolute Failure?
[This editorial was originally published in the Mobile Industry Review newsletter on the 28th November 2009. Make sure you get the editorials ahead of time by subscribing here -- free.] “360 will be an absolute and total failure… and then in 5 years, they’ll try again.” Discuss. That quote was sent into me this week [...]
Vodafone’s Lukewarm 60-degree Offering
[This editorial was originally published in the Mobile Industry Review newsletter on the 20th November 2009. Make sure you get the editorials ahead of time by subscribing here -- free.] If you’re working at Vodafone, you’ll want to look away now. In fact, hit ‘escape’ and press delete. Now. Very quickly. Because this text is [...]
Today’s newsletter is about the next step for mobile
As I stand at the tube station at Turnham Green (District Line), I am writing today’s ‘big bit’ in the newsletter. Last night I completed the rest of the bits — but if you’re hoping to be in the newsletter this week, drop me a note and I will confirm. I always hover over the [...]
Passing UCL
I thoroughly enjoyed my stint at UCL. I found myself walking by the famous ‘quad’ this evening and snapped a reminder. Posted via email from MIR Live
Meeting Evernote
I’m off to meet the Evernote chaps. Have you got an Evernote account? I make a ton of use of it on my desktops, iPhone and BlackBerry — every single day — to keep notes, photos, web-snapshots and so on. I will let you know how the chat goes. Posted via email from MIR Live
o2 UK is STILL saying: “iPhone only on o2″
Have a look at this photo sent in by a rather annoyed reader. It’s from the back of yesterday’s Guardian UK. Don’t you think it’s getting ridiculous that o2 are still running the ‘iPhone only on o2′ advertisements? I first wrote about this two weeks ago. At what point does this become a trade description [...]
Help: Mobile payment provider required & ‘Do you know anyone at Netsize?’
Got this marketplace enquiry in this afternoon from a chap working at a UK mobile company: Hi Ewan: Do you know anyone at Netsize? Would you be willing to introduce me if you do? We’re interested in them as a mobile payment provider… Thanks I thought I’d throw it out to you. Who do you [...]
10x Champagne-Beta-Testers required by Touchnote
I heard from Ed Hodges, this morning. When he’s not setting the hearts of many a mobile industry female fluttering, Mr Hodges heads up Mobile for Touchnote. Touchnote needs some testing help from Nokia S60 users, specifically Nokia S60 3rd Edition users. They’ll pay you a bottle of Champagne (and, knowing Ed, it’ll be the [...]
App Review (iPhone)  Shoeboxed, a stonking way to manage receipts
I have been meaning to try the Shoeboxed app for the iPhone, and a recent business trip to New York was the perfect opportunity. The idea behind Shoeboxed is solid, it is definitely a utilitarian app that aims to make your life easier. Rather than having to keep and then transcribe your receipts, all you [...]
Notes from BlackBerry’s simply fantastic Alliance Summit
If you got last week’s newsletter, you’ll know I spent the back end of last week in Rome, Italy, for BlackBerry’s European Alliance Summit event. Only two members of the press were let in — me — and the world-famous Kevin Michaluk of CrackBerry. I hadn’t previously bumped into Kevin before — but I’ve been [...]
