Video: Meet John Malloy of Blue Run Ventures (Part 1)
I spent an hour on Monday with John Malloy of Blue Run Ventures in Menlo Park this Monday. Blue Run Ventures are one of the foremost mobile (and tech) venture capitalists on the planet.

The real mobile network: Flying to Barcelona
One of the interesting and reasonably exciting elements about heading to Mobile World Congress is the fact that I seem to know most of the passengers.

That’s right, it’s even caught the [...]
Build your own handset with Symbian’s Wild Ducks project
One of the most interesting parts of the time I spent at the Symbian HQ a week or so ago was when we got ultra geeky. “While you’re here, you have to check out Wild Ducks,” said one of the Symbian represenatives Rafe and I were interviewing. Rafe did a sage nod. After the chap [...]
