You know the event I’m going to on Thursday, WHITE SPACE? I just wanted to point out that I managed to talk to one of the organisers and they’re way, way, WAY over-subscribed now. This is unfortunate as there’s a lot of people who have contacted me to ask if they can come along. The [...]

Are there more m-commerce transactions in areas where people commute by train?
Yesterday evening I bumped into the team from Kalio at the Mobile Commerce Forum here in Houston. Kalio are a leading provider of integrated commerce services for retailers. They also specialise in multi-channel offerings, including, of course, the mobile platform. I’m aiming to do a piece on Kalio’s mobile offering — but I wanted to [...]
Domino’s Pizza does £130,000 in a single day via mobile
Goodness me have a read of this post from Matt over at The Next Web: Domino’s Pizza, one of the world’s most popular pizza chains, continues to demonstrate the effectiveness of establishing an online presence and developing mobile applications after the company announced its biggest day ever for online sales last Saturday, taking over £1 [...]
Ortery’s lightbox and turntables — a must for any commerce site
The Mobile Commerce Forum here in Houston comprises of two main segments: There’s the conference and then there’s the exhibit floor. The conference begins in earnest this morning at 815am sharp, with frequent breaks to pop into the exhibition area. Yesterday evening there was a reception in the exhibition area so I managed to take [...]
Hello from the Mobile Commerce Forum in Houston, TX
Here’s a little video from downtown Houston — well, from the 19th floor of the Hilton Americas, about today’s Mobile Commerce Forum event. (Note: I filmed this using SocialCam and I applied their ‘noire’ black & white filter. Rather nifty.)
CrackBerry’s Kevin Michaluk is talking at DevCon
I’ve done quite a bit of work with the CrackBerry.com team over the years. I particularly enjoyed following the site’s founder Kevin around with the camera as he performs a walk-about of the show floors — along the lines of the Martin Brundle pit-lane-walkabouts (if you’re a Formula 1 fan). I was just browsing the [...]
Meet me at WHITE SPACE this Thursday in New York?
I’m in the States for almost two weeks now. The first event I’m attending is the Mobile Commerce Forum here in Houston. Then I hop on a plane to visit WHITE SPACE, the invite-only summit focusing on all aspects of popular culture (of which mobile is playing an increasingly important part) and then I’m on [...]
Good morning from the Mobile Commerce Forum, Houston TX!
Hello y’all! It’s Ewan here, live from Houston, Texas. I’m at the Hilton Americas hotel in downtown Houston where the Mobile Commerce Forum is taking place over the next three days. I arrived in time to take in the opening of the exhibition element of the conference. I had a super time walking around the [...]
BlackBerry Tag will soon make good use of OS7′s NFC capabilities
I just got news through from the team at RIM confirming the imminent launch of BlackBerry Tag. The all new Bold, Torch and Curve models feature integrated NFC features — which haven’t really been exploited as yet. The new ‘Tag’ function arrives with the upcoming BlackBerry OS 7 update and will enable users to tap-n-share [...]
BlackBerry Travel is a phenomenally useful app (and service)
It just a week-and-a-bit before I arrive into San Francisco for the BlackBerry DevCon event. I’m in Houston first, followed by New York, before flying into the Valley. So that means I’ve been doing the usual jiggery-pokery with hotels and flights. In many cases, I’ve been lucky enough to have a colleague or agency take [...]
Thank you for the joy, Steve
My good friend Tom introduced me to Apple, properly. My brother, Martin, had been using Macs for quite a while but I didn’t quite get that. It was only when Tom sat me down and discussed the appreciation he had for the stunning service, the product architecture, the seamless integration of hardware and software — [...]
