Nokia’s Top Man: “The Fightback Starts Now”
The fightback starts now. That’s the headline of the letter published by Nokia’s Head of Mobile Solutions, Anssi Vanjoki. I’ve interviewed the guy a few times and I really do rate him. I was flying back from Qualcomm’s Uplinq event last week when the letter was posted to Nokia’s blog (“Conversations“). Since Friday, it’s received [...]
How the new iPhone 5 fixes antenna problem (Photo)
Fast becoming one of Apple’s most derided launches of recent years, the iPhone 4′s ‘just hold it another way‘ problem has been a boon to competitors looking for a chink in the armour as I recorded last week in San Diego. So here’s a photo (above) of what the iPhone 5 might look like. Click [...]
My business critical Bold 9700 isn’t: JVM Error 545
This evening at about 430pm my business critical top of the range BlackBerry Bold 9700 went blank except for an annoying small and inexplicable, unhelpful message: JVM Error 545. Joy. It’s rendered the device absolutely useless. I saw it and took out the battery immediately smiling with an embarrassed look in case anyone in Starbucks [...]

After lunch I’m speaking on the topic of Zero Friction (“Ewan MacLeod on designing a service to connect grandparents to media from their family.”) It’s only 15 minutes so I’m working hard to keep the [...]

Another influential Nokia blogger quits: “Symbian-Guru is Over”
Exactly a month ago I wrote that WorldofNokia, one of the influential British Nokia fan sites had closed down, citing nothing to write about. In that post I pointed out that the dwindling Nokia fan publications was becoming a serious, serious problem for the company. How bad does it have to get, I asked, before [...]
