The iPad: Advertising must be more entertaining
I’m delighted to be able to bring you the first of what I hope will be a series of perspectives from leaders around the mobile industry. Starting us off is CEO of MOFILM, Andy Baker. Given MOFILM’s focus on providing a platform for independent filmmakers to submit ads for some of the world’s leading brands [...]
Even Michael Dell can’t get touchscreens to work properly
I am, mostly, reasonably calm. I think I got to age 17 having spent a long time professionally worrying about things before I realised — perhaps in quite a male manner — that worrying about things is a ridiculous waste of time. Stop worrying about everything, I told myself, and start doing. So I’m calm, [...]
An Inconvenient PR Truth
I came across this on SteDavies’ site. It’s a video by release delivery specialists, RealWire. The key points? – 1.7 billion irrelevant press release emails estimated to be received in total each year by UK and US Journalists alone – 78% of press release emails are received by Recipients to whom they are irrelevant – [...]
The iPad is nothing but an oversized iPhone–now where does the line form to buy one?
Yes, it has a cringe-worthy name. Yes it’s a closed development environment. Yes it’s $500 I don’t NEED to spend. Yes it is highly derivative of the iPhone. Yes it has a huge bezel. Yes it’s on AT&T’s shameful excuse for a network. And yes, I want–nay–must have one. I will now address each potential [...]
The official iPad Video
If you haven’t yet caught the official iPad video overview from Apple, the nice people at MacRumours have posted it. Here it is: Apple are simply superb at this stuff.

Vodafone 360 Samsung H1: Failed to connect to server. Update cannot proceed.
Following on from my earlier post about Vodafone 360 woes, I can really see what the consumers populating the Vodafone 360 forums are experiencing. I tried to update/upgrade the firmware on the H1 and this is the screen I got: I did the usual rubbish Windows restarts, reconnects and so on. No dice. This could [...]
Vodafone 360 Woes: “Nothing’s changed.. things are changing for the worse”
I was having a look at the referring traffic from Vodafone’s 360 forum today and saw quite a few clicks coming from this forum post. The three links that Jay.B posted were all to Vodafone 360 articles on Mobile Industry Review (the links have since been removed by the Vodafone moderators which shows a very, [...]

Hands-on with the Amplicom M5010 – the phone your granny wants
Whilst we wait giggling with utter delight at the prospect of watching the Master, Steve Jobs, dance across the stage today, I wanted to bring you something from the total opposite end of the spectrum. I’ve been banging on about the Amplicom handset since the newsletter on Christmas Eve (to be published online shortly) and [...]
UK Normobs: We’re not buying Samsung again
Researchers YouGov asked almost 4,000 UK adults to comment on their mobile phone purchase intentions. Interestingly the majority of users expect to change handset brands next time the get a chance. It makes interesting reading so I’m going to cut and paste YouGov’s feedback: Step changes in technology always provide opportunities for significant shifts in [...]
