Charlie over at the Phones4U blog writes about reports that HTC is working with Facebook on an official Facebook phone. Next. I’ve set my expectations to way below zero. I most definitely look forward to being utterly amazed and surprised. However I do have to wonder what more you could do with Facebook on a [...]

Google+ and the Android Trojan Horse
I was skeptical at first, but I think there is a future in Google+. I’ve been using it this last week, and it’s not perfect, but not bad either. I was skeptical because of Google’s massive social fails in Buzz, Latitude, Wave and +1 (although to be fair +1 on its own is a fail, [...]
Uplinq: David O’Neill of Viafo and the Interactivity of Apps
David O’Neill, CEO of Viafo, talks to us about improving the interactivity of Apps. Viafo deals with adding interactivity and functionality to Apps manageable from The Cloud. The standardised set of APIs handles sharing, checking in, commenting, liking and following. More from David:
If an operator is charging users for Facebook roaming, should they pay a license fee?
This post ties rather neatly in with my previous one (Would you pay €2 to use Facebook on the beach?) regarding roaming. Now then, what happens if operators were to deploy these rather innovative plans such as the one mentioned above? It’s a topic I’ve been exploring whilst I’ve been on-site at MACH Insights 2011. [...]
Would you pay €2 to use Facebook on the beach?
So here’s a question for you. I’d like you to have a wee look at this video and see what you think of the concepts demonstrated. I came across it in the ‘Demo Lab’ area at MACH Insights 2011. It’s showing off a MACH product by the name of the Data Roaming Engine which enables [...]
VOIP-enabled Facebook chat from Vivox: Fantastic
Try this out… I’ve just been using it and it’s utterly smart (the back-end service is provided by the chaps at Vivox): T-Mobile USA has launched itself onto Facebook, providing free VoIP calls between social networkers though the service is not yet integrated into the operators mobile network. Bobsled by T-Mobile is a VoIP application [...]
Ovum: Operators should fear the threat from Facebook
Here’s Ovum‘s take on the elephant in the ultra small mobile operator room — Facebook. – – – – – Facebook is shaping up to be a strong competitor to mobile operators that are in danger of underestimating the threat it poses, according to Ovum. In a new report* the independent telecoms analyst states that [...]
How Facebook could really nail the mobile operators
I participated in an array of superb briefings last week at Mobile World Congress. The issue of the ‘data crunch’ was never far from the conversation. One company I met on Sunday morning prior to MWC was apoplectic with rage about Facebook, Google and Apple. I won’t go into detail about the company’s identity except [...]
Ah hah, the INQ Cloud Touch (“Facebook Phone”) heads slowly into view
Jon over at TechnoBuffalo picked up a post from Pocketnow that reportedly outs the all new INQ Android device referred to as the “INQ Cloud Touch”. It’s been quite a while since we heard from Hutchison’s handset manufacturer, INQ. I thought the INQ Chat was an excellent budget device that most definitely gave BlackBerry a [...]
‘Facebook for iPhone appears to have uploaded all my contacts silently’
Got a note in from reader Paul who is rather concerned by his discovery: Hi Ewan, I don’t know if you are user of the Facebook iPhone app, but mine seems to have silently uploaded by address book into Facebook. Try going to Account->Edit Friends. You can then see a phonebook icon on the left [...]
The Halifax Holiday Matchmaker tool is at your disposal
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Unruly Media and Halifax Bank. And although it’s not strictly mobile based, I have to admit, I was particularly impressed at how Halifax have engineered the tool. So, we start with the premise that Halifax would like you to know about their travel money services. No problem. [...]
The Nokia Facebook Phone: Complete integration of Facebook into the OS
…And a total dream. As Murat Mutlu explains in this comment contributed on my earlier Nokia/Yahoo post: Mate when I first joined Nokia, I put together a concept for Nokia s60 phones where they completely integrated with Facebook, including inbox, calendar, contacts, homescreen newsfeed as well as the main application which had chat etc. This [...]
