 Have you got your MWC strategy finalised yet? If you work in marketing in the mobile industry, chances are you had a vague note in your diary to think about MWC in November, postponed it ’til December and… well, you’ve got New Year’s Eve to get out the way first and then… February will [...]
LogMeIn Ignition is £11.99 ’til 4th Jan!
I’m a huge, huge fan of LogMeIn Ignition, the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad application that lets you control your PC/Mac remotely. Almost every computer I own is hooked up to LogMeIn so I can access it wherever I am. When I was in Hong Kong and Miami recently, I used the facility daily. Yes I’ve got DropBox [...]
Did Apple’s ‘early mistakes’ screw up the iPhone potential? Nonsense.
Thanks to reader Jeffrey who emailed me this piece from MacNN published earlier this month. Jeffrey’s writing a paper for his board and wanted to know what I thought of the issue.

Facebook blackhole could suck up mobile operators
 I was in Miami when the last Women in Mobile Data (“WiMD”) events of the year was taking place, earlier this month. I’d received an invitation to pop along to the WiMD Christmas lunch and was highly disappointed not to have made it. However I’m absolutely delighted that Clare Grant, WiMD committee member (and [...]
MIR favourite ZumoDrive about to be snapped up by Moto?
I read with no small amount of excitement on TechCrunch earlier today that Motorola is reportedly close to acquiring Zecter, the company behind the awesome ZumoDrive. I first wrote about them back in January 2009 — almost two years ago (“ZumoDrive is going to change everything“) and since then I’ve been a paying customer. I [...]
