I just noticed that if you position the try table on the back of each seat on the train, it makes a nice rest for the iPad. There we go. Unintentional innovation!

Ofcom plans to open-up Whitespace in UK — good news!
Thank you to Steve Kennedy who sent in this overview of the developments going on in the whitespace spectrum segment of the industry that the geeks amongst us will certainly appreciate. Over to Steve: – – – – – Ofcom, the ‘super’ regulator that looks after broadcasting, radio, and telecoms amongt other things has made [...]
I’m going to WHITE SPACE in New York next week. Do you want to come?
I’m delighted to report that I’m attending WHITE SPACE next week — it looks to be one of the most interesting events I’ve come across recently. Should you be there too? It’s taking place next week on Thursday 13th of October in New York. I know the organisers so if you think you should be [...]
My patience with mobile app exceptions is shockingly limited
Here’s an illustration of my super-short attention span when it comes to exceptions with mobile applications. I’m surprised by how I am reacting. One of my regular BlackBerry apps is BeReader. It’s a really nice Google Reader client for the BlackBerry platform. I bought it via App World last year and I’ve been a regular [...]
Connected life with British Airways.. I’m loving it!
I’m off to Houston, Texas, next week. I’m going to the Internet Retailer M-Commerce Forum and I’m very much looking forward to that. My intent is to speak to as many participants as I can to find out how the field of M-Commerce is moving in the States. My airline of choice is British Airways. Someone [...]
“The train is moving now, my phone network is shit, talk later?”
I overheard a young lady on the train this evening. She was speaking ‘loudly’ on her iPhone 4 annoying a lot of the other folk in the carriage. Eventually as the train began to move she decided to finish her conversation thus: “Ok the train is moving now so shall we talk later? I’ll get [...]
iTunes with iCloud: Finally the ‘frustration’ ends
For years I’ve been rather frustrated every time I think about iTunes. I’ve got 40GB free on my 1,000GB drive. Yes, I’ve got a *dedicated* iTunes hard disk in my main Mac Pro. It’s flipping ridiculous. Buy a 2GB movie for £9 and unfortunately it’s now your problem to manage the file. I want to [...]
iCloud Photo Sync: Yup, this is very smart
After the disappointment of no additional new hardware beyond what man consider to be the bare minimum for the next generation, I think it’s right to point out that Apple certainly haven’t been staring at the wall for the last few months. It’s far too easy to forget that the glue that makes the iPhone [...]
What does $76 billion buy? A weak hardware update, nice services
Well that was underwhelming. I’m rather surprised by the total mismatch between expectation and reality with today’s iPhone launch event. When you’ve got billions upon billions of dollars sitting there at your disposal, expectations naturally run high. As I’ve written before, the company does need to occasionally justify it’s huge valuation. Justification is delivered through [...]
Quote: “Apple could eat Nokia’s lunch in emerging markets”
I don’t quite agree with this one — there’s about a billion different points I’d like to make but I’m on-the-run. I wanted to post this particularly for the readers out there who have intimate knowledge of Nokia’s rather phenomenal position in the emerging marketplace. I thought it would give you a little chuckle. Have [...]
A reality check on the day the new iPhone is announced
I’m on the train this morning on the way into London for the Mobile Marketing Association Forum event near Tottenham Court Road. It’s a frustrating journey, because I had expected to get some decent work done. I’ve got to be in Texas next week so I need to plan out some flights and whatnot. Unfortunately, [...]
iPhone Day is finally upon us, the rumours will shortly be over!
Have you been sick of the sodding iPhone rumours? They’ve been never-ending, they really have. Tomorrow at 6pm London, the industry will take a collective deep breath and hold it for 90-odd minutes. Well, I presume something like 90 minutes. I haven’t actually looked at any timings. I can’t be bothered. I’ve had enough [...]
