Just in case you’re wondering where HulloMail comes from, I thought I’d re-post this old Mobile Industry Review video from yonder. It was first published on the 10th of November, 2008 — so it’s well over a year old — but in it, you can see the top man at HulloMail, Andy Munarriz, give us [...]

Help: Conference calling for 10,000+ participants. Who would you use?
A reader called me this morning to ask for a recommendation on a UK company that they could use to run a conference call (like a Shareholder/Earnings call) for upwards of 10,000 participants. They’ve talked to the usual suspects who are all about to offer 100-1,000 concurrent users, but after that level, the list of [...]

Reader feedback about HulloMail (in audio, no less!)
Thomas Breeze is a regular reader with an iPhone — but not the requisite specialised Apple service plan from his mobile operator, so he doesn’t get visual voicemail as standard. He read my post yesterday about HulloMail and decided to check it out. At the end of the post I invited readers to send me [...]
Parrot AR.Drone: Crying out for your mobile development attention!
Whenever I’m briefing device manufacturers — you know, standing in front of 30 product managers and jumping up in down in front of a PowerPoint — I always make the point that they need to make their devices cool. If you’re Apple, this happens automatically — but if you’re anyone else, you have to work [...]
N900 beats iPhone in mobile usability test
Peter-Paul Koch is a man after my own heart. He routinely has 10+ mobile devices on his desk at any one time (on account of being a mobile platform strategist, amongst other things). When one of his friends asked his advice on buying a new handset, he saw the opportunity to do a real-time usability [...]
HTC Smart is the world’s first ‘budget smartphone’ (running Brew!)
When I saw the above device, the HTC Smart, I did a double-take. BREW? I’d heard the rumblings of HTC’s latest foray into a new market segment (“the budget smartphone’) with Brew, but I’d never thought it would look as good as it does. So. Meet the HTC Smart. This is the first in a [...]
HulloMail launches voice-emails (“Hullos”) and iPhone app: Total genius!
I’ve been using HulloMail as my voicemail replacement for about 6 months and it’s been flippin’ fantastic (not to mention the fact it’s actually free of charge!). I really like the way that voicemails arrive as emails with audio attachments in my Google Mail, however in recent months, HulloMail have been innovating like crazy to [...]
Nokia Ovi Store goes live on AT&T
The slow but nevertheless determined march of Ovi continues with their announcement today of AT&T support. This is good news and means that AT&T customers can now purchase paid content from the Ovi Store and have it charged to their AT&T account. The Ovi Store march is continuing. I’m still not happy with it — [...]
The LG TV that’s as thin as a £1 coin
I was pretty impressed to read about the new LG OLED TVs that are on their way. Obviously the ramifications of the technology for the mobile marketplace are significant, particularly if you can overlay a functional touchscreen on top to create a 21″ 0.25cm thin ‘tablet’. My interest in the new range of LG TVs [...]
Vodafone Shop Guys: Don’t do Vodafone 360; Wait for the iPhone
Yeah, sorry. I waited a few days before publishing this. I still can’t believe the reality that is Vodafone 360 and how… well… how badly it’s been delivered to market. I popped into four different Vodafone stores over the weekend — I won’t say which ones — and I innocently enquired as to the Samsung [...]
The new way to purchase a consumer phone: Google.com/phone
Well then, this is another day to remember. It’s the day Google got stuck into mobile merchandising and nailed the mobile operator to the wall. That’s it: Thank you for coming, mobile operators, thank you for coming. You did your best. But now you’ve been ‘owned’. Well.. not yet. But do look out for the [...]
