In Mobile Developer TV’s episode 148, we talked to David Wood about Mobile World Congress and the trends and themes he was witnessing. After we finished the interview, he had a little bit more time so I grabbed the opportunity to ask David what his top 3 sci-fi movies were. What follows is an absolutely [...]

Meffys deadline extended: Another 7 days
I just heard from Kirstyn, MEF’s PR, that the deadline for award entry submission (that I covered here) has been extended until next week (Friday 23rd of April). This is actually excellent news as I know a few developers have been working furiously on their entries. You can relax and spend a bit more time [...]
Enjoying watching the industry dance to Apple’s tune
Hands up anyone who actually believes that Apple completely screwed up it’s supply chain, and thus was forced to reluctantly delay iPad shipments to Europe? Yeah… it’s precisely what I’d have done. It’s a winning strategy. An absolute winning strategy, whether the company truly did screw things up or not. You really do have to [...]
Get your iPads here, get’em while they’re hot [updated]
If you’re looking to get hold of an American iPad — the $499 16GB unit, I’m you’re man. I’d like to spread a little iLove. If you’d like one, I think we can get you one for about $550 inc delivery. I’ll need to confirm the cost with our man in the States. If you [...]
iPad: UK + European developers shouldn’t wait
If you’re a UK company operating in the mobile space and you don’t have an iPad to play and test with, then you’re off your rocker. Further, if you’re a UK firm already responsible for publishing iPhone applications and you don’t yet have an iPad, well that’s ridiculous. Whatever you think of the device, positive [...]
Family Share: An Update
The response from yesterday’s post about my new project, (working title: Family Share) has been fantastic. We’ve got an array of VIP founder members lined up — there’s still space if you’re interested. I’ve got a heck of a lot of ideas from everyone. And most interestingly, no one has actually emailed to say ‘er, [...]
Vodafone’s Terence Eden joins Touchnote
Terence Eden made the move this week from Big Red and joins the multi-award winning Touchnote. Touchnote, if you recall, deliver your mobile photographs as physical postcards. A simply brilliant service that I use almost daily. Let’s talk Terence: Over his 7 year career at Vodafone, Terence has held multiple roles in product marketing and [...]
All about my new venture, working title, ‘Family Share’
The Service I’m launching a service to help parents easily and privately share media of their children with immediate family members (e.g. grandparents). The service will initially launch on iPad, iPhone and Web. It’ll come in two flavours — free and premium. The Background Around May 26th, my first child is due. And in the [...]
I’m available, do you need any help?
I have now finished my projects. As of yesterday I’m a free man. Well, not quite. I still continue to run Eventscope, Mobile Industry Review, Mobile Developer TV and The Application Review. These operations don’t need my full time involvement as I’m supported by a very smart and capable team. Ergo I’m free. I’m hunting [...]
The Meffys: Four days to get your entry in!
I’m judging the Meffys again this year and I’m really looking forward to it. The Meffys, if you haven’t come across them, are run by the Mobile Entertainment Forum to highlight best-in-class mobile entertainment products and services. Whilst the event is fundamentally about awarding excellence — and winning an award grants substantial kudos — it’s [...]
The iPad is not London tube-ready
I was on the tube today and I thought I’d take the opportunity to try out the iPad. Whilst the device performed admirably, I’m afraid it doesn’t quite cut it on the London Underground. Unfortunately it’s just too new, too amazing, too eye-catching. I took it out and immediately folk were glued to it. People [...]
Would anyone like to buy Palm? Anyone? Hello…?
We’ve been rather forthright about Palm in recent months here at Mobile Industry Review. Indeed most recently, I posed the question Are we ready to declare the Palm Pre dead in the UK & Ireland. And so Bloomberg reports this morning that, well, yes, Palm is dead. Not just the Pre, but the company. Kaput. [...]
