I did a tweet on this subject yesterday but the link I retweeted stopped working so I’m posting it up here for posterity. Blake over at IntoMobile picked up the news from Samsung that they reckon their Super-AMOLED screen is a heck of a lot better than Apple’s Retina Display for the iPhone 4. IntoMobile [...]

When do we give Police Officers phones with decent cameras?
Have a look at that screenshot there. It’s from yesterday’s online London Telegraph story about the twins who were reportedly mauled by a fox. The blurry picture you see was taken by one of the first police officers to arrive at the family’s home. It shows a crazily blurred image of a fox. Or perhaps [...]
‘Wrapped’ content is on the increase
I got some news in from Jens Lauritzon, MD of Accumulate UK (that’s him above). I’m really, really liking the Accumulate concept. First, though, let’s have a bit of background… Imagine the scene – you’re a 15 year old in Thailand on a PAYG deal and you’ve just got a new phone. You’ve been playing [...]
Help Me Anssi-Wan-Kanobi, You’re My Only Hope
There’s a super post on TechCrunch by Mike Butcher about his hunt to interview Nokia’s Anssi Vanjoki… Good luck Mike! Mike points out that Anssi is Nokia’s equivalent of Steve Jobs. I wouldn’t disagree with that at all. Indeed, I was thoroughly impressed with the chap’s candour and enthusiasm when we met him back at [...]
Finally: iPhone 4 is coming to Three
Three or 3UK, the Hutchison owned mobile network is getting the iPhone 4. Finally. We’ve been waiting for a lonnnng time for the UK’s 5th and newest network to come over to the iSide. There are a few good reasons to consider Three. First, their network is not shit. It was, oh yes. But that [...]
What Nokia needs to learn from Apple Keynotes
Yeah it’s another Nokia post, I know. I really liked this one so I wanted to highlight it, not just tweet about it. Jay Montano over at My Nokia Blog has posted a super, super piece thus: “What Nokia needs to learn from Apple Keynotes. Pointers from Steve Job’s iPhone 4 announcement” In what he [...]
A super example of why Nokia needs to get tough and get stuck in
Recently someone described me on Twitter as ‘pro-Nokia’. Like you’d label someone ‘right-wing’ or ‘left-wing’. I can’t find the tweet but it really stuck with me. I am a fundamental fan of the company and I very much respect a lot of the talented people who work there. But I think a better label for [...]
App revenues to exceed $30bn by 2015
Juniper Research has been looking at mobile application stores in depth. You can get the report here. I’m pleased that the report points out that it’s not all about the iPhone. Obviously with 4 billion downloads to April 2010, the iTunes App Store is a monster, but, as Juniper point out, brands and developers shouldn’t [...]
Forum Nokia shows off it’s new look
Take a look at the latest revision of Forum Nokia… they have paid a lot of attention to developers and given the site a complete overhaul…
CloudVox: Make calls & texts via your Rackspace Cloud Server
I’m a pretty big fan of Rackspace, ever since I turned to them to manage my dedicated servers years ago. I moved all my online activities to Rackspace’s new Cloud service about a year ago and I haven’t looked back. It’s been simply fantastic and I really enjoy not having to arse around with actual [...]
InMobi hits 16bn impressions and launches in the States
It was, I think, over two years ago when I met Anne Frisbie who had just started working for InMobi (she runs their US operations). I think we were in Las Vegas at CTIA or somewhere similar. I remember her explaining that InMobi was a rising star in the mobile advertising marketplace at a time [...]
