I have to say kudos to the team at o2′s innovation labs. Kudos gents. They’ve created an international calling card application that you can download for your app. It’s a really nice idea — and something that I think most o2 customers who call abroad now-and-again should have on their phone. If you’re a regular [...]

Operator Innovation: Let me access my SMS everywhere?
Hello dear reader, it’s me again with another Operator Innovation post. The series has been terrifically well received — thank you once more to all the executives from around the industry who’ve complemented us.

Operator Innovation: Why can’t my mobile operator talk to my bank when my card declines abroad?

I was only able to watch snippets and rely on the Stuart Dredge liveblog (you can now see the full presentation at that link). The broad thrust of Matt’s presentation was to point out that content piracy [...]
Has the iPad killed tablet innovation? Chris at SlashGear says yes!
I very much enjoyed this perspective penned by Chris Davies over at SlashGear: How foolish I’ve been. Five months ago I wrote that tablets had come of age, and even sifted my way through the line-up cherry picking what must-have features would make for the perfect device. A month later, in the afterglow – or [...]
Use your mobile as your Oyster card!
That is just one idea that has been floating around Mobile Industry Review for sometime; and it seems like after a trial period, people like it! The Near Field Communications (NFC) which O2 had been trialling with Nokia has had some optimistic results. Apparently nine out of ten (90%) of the five hundred trialists said [...]
