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 [...]

AT&T’s Foundry launches AT&T Messages: Voicemail/mms/sms/missed calls in a single app & portal
I’m pleased it’s not just me banging on about innovation. It’s nice to see some companies in the industry actually doing a bit of good thinking.

Here’s the list of apps that I actually use every day

Microsoft hasn’t lost a moment capitalising on HP/WebOS
Pradeep over at wmpoweruser.com has published an email that is being sent out to the (apparent) legions of developers jumping ship from WebOS to Windows.

361 degrees podcast – Episode 10: Bothersome things
In the latest episode of the 361 degrees podcast, I receive a virtual yellow card for using the word ‘sodding‘ during the episode (referring to MMS). Ben was not impressed at my language and I could feel Rafe giving me a stare from 3,000 miles away. I couldn’t help it. Anyway, let’s get on with [...]
