This is a frustrated follow-up to my earlier post on the new Apple iPhone 4. I was sat unable to move with little baby Archie in my arms this morning pondering the mobile marketplace. I’d already banged out the above-linked post and I let my mind wander. I haven’t yet spoken to the editor of [...]

iPhone 4: “Changes everything, again” — well, not really
The 4th iteration of the JesusPhone is upon us. What, then did you think of the news? I’m working on the basis that the vast majority of you have already sat and watched the numerous liveblogs or have just watched the Jobs keynote (it’s live here) so I won’t go through the minute detail. No. [...]
Baby Archie has arrived: Recommendations for baby-tech gear please!
On Saturday, our first baby arrived in the form of Archie MacLeod (7lbs, 13, photo) and as a result I now have a rather substantial demand for baby-related technology and applications to augment my parental experience. Do you have any suggestions for anything I should be looking at? (Mobile or otherwise) I’d very much appreciate [...]

Video: Hands on with the £55 Orange Rio
Have a look at the £55 Orange Rio — a highly capable QWERTY device that’s sure to give the chaps at RIM a run for their money. Word has it that the device is selling very well on the High Street. I’m not surprised. Here’s the video — and remember, if you’re viewing on an [...]
iPad: UK’s Times Sold 5,000, FT Shifted 130,000, WSJ 10,000 Subs
Check out this paidcontent post by Robert Andrews who reveals that the UK Times iPad application knocked by 5,000 units over the first three days. If they are able to sustain that rate of 1,600 a day, they’d sell 600k a year. Robert goes on to point out the iPad app figures from the WSJ, [...]
In-App carrier billing for Android announced; nobody knows if it’s ‘allowed’ though
Hello Mr Developer, would you like to use in-app payment for Android? Yes? Good. What’s that? You want to know if it’s allowed? Well of course it’s allowed. What about Google? Well, they’re … they… they haven’t really said much about it. So when can we get you signed up? What’s that? You want to [...]
Air New Zealand deploys text and data in air — but not voice!
Right then I’m looking forward to making use of the new Air New Zealand mobile facilities to be launched toward the end of the year as the Straits Times reports: AIR New Zealand is planning to let some passengers send text messages and emails mid-flight by the end of the year but fellow travellers need [...]
Developer on Android fragmentation: “Really frustrating”
I’ve raised the issue of Android fragmentation quite often when people tell me that Android is ‘here’ and that ‘Symbian is dead’. Symbian has had it’s fair share of fragmentation problems — they’ve been through a heck of a lot of teething troubles and they’ve come out the other end with a very powerful, reliable, [...]
Why Mobile Developer Outreach Programmes Are Not Working
Have a read of this post by Mike Rowehl on the subject (“ Why Mobile Developer Programs Aren’t Working “). Mike knows a thing or two about mobile developers being one himself. His post is critical reading for anyone involved in mobile developer outreach. Mike points out that: You can’t have marketing people talking to [...]
WorldofNokia.co.uk closes citing ‘nothing to write about’
The writing is on the wall. Well, it’s not quite on the wall.  It’s actually been re-painted because nobody’s bothered. WorldofNokia.co.uk, one of the well-known Nokia enthusiast sites has shut it’s doors today. In the headline above, I paraphrased the site’s co-founder, Dan Carter.  I should be explicit and say that he didn’t actually say, “there’s [...]
