We’ve had a note in from the team at Deltenna to tell us about their newest gizmo, the Deltenna WiBE. Or, in other words, the ultimate MiFi unit known to man. At least, it looks that way. I know that Ewan actually saw one of these working last week and all things being equal, we [...]

Visual voicemail: A super example of Britain’s lazy, inept, innovation-less mobile operators
I have an iPhone on each of the following UK networks: – o2- Orange- Three- Vodafone Only one of those networks, o2, has actually installed the gubbings on their network to enable Apple’s visual voicemail service. The rest of the operators couldn’t be bothered. I mean that, quite literally. Voicemail — as I highlighted in [...]
Debenhams mobile strategy: We’re only interested in iPhone users
Terence Eden recently highlighted a fascinating real life example of a consumer brand that’s only got eyes for iPhone. Debenhams is a chain of 153 department stores in the UK. They’re hugely popular and serve a wide variety of demographics. They’re for everyone from your grandmother to your 14 year old niece, right? Which is [...]
Mobile Convention Amsterdam arrives on 19th April 2011
Last year, executives from two Holland-based companies had an epiphany of sorts. Frustrated that there was no European forum event targeted specifically to their interests in the m-Commerce field, they took matters into their own hands and set one up. The result was Mobile Convention Amsterdam 2010. Founded by business magazine Emerce and SMS aggregator, [...]
Prince William & Kate Middleton: A Royal wedding for the mobile age
Finally, mainstream media has got the story it’s been waiting for so long. News that Prince William and Kate Middleton are — shock — engaged and that there will be a Royal wedding in Spring/Summer next year — has been spreading like wildfire across social media sites. The news channels are going absolutely nuts. Tomorrow [...]
MEF invites you to their Mobile Content & Commerce event in Miami
Picture the scene across Europe come 30th of November 2010. Rain will be coming down intermittently in sheets. It’ll be dark until 9am for a few hours before the pitch black descends once more. You won’t be able to go anywhere without an umbrella and a decent coat. Most of the UK goes into seasonal-depressed-mode [...]
MifiClub will rent you an MiFi for £19 (3-days)
Thank you to Richard who sent me a note asking me to check out MifiClub, a service that will send you a MiFi next-day in the United Kingdom. The service is obviously aimed at people traveling to the UK and staying for a few days or a week or so. It’s a smart concept. Here’s [...]
The mobile reality: I’m in Richmond and I can only get EDGE
Well then. Yet again I am reminded of how supremely rubbish the mobile industry is. Occasionally I manage to pull myself out of this stupor and allow myself to get very excited at the possibilities. Then reality slaps me on the face with a big, wet haddock. I’ve been doing some work in Richmond-Upon-Thames. Near [...]
The Smartphone Obsession in Marketing, Part 2
The Smartphone Obsession Here’s Part 2 of the Smartphone Obsession Series that I’m producing thanks to the support of mobile messaging giant, OpenMarket. I caught up with Mark Freeman, one of the founders of mobile agency, Movement, at the recent IAB Mobile event. Given Mark’s company has been working with many of the leading lights [...]
Amazon sells a billion dollars worth of goods via mobile
I wanted to document the rather astounding news (reported by Staci at paidContent.org) that the almighty Amazon is now doing more than $1 billion in sales through mobile devices (including Kindle). I’m not surprised. I’ve been using Amazon’s iPhone app at least a few times a week to order batteries, nappies, books, chargers, a whole [...]
Women in Mobile Data luncheon — 23rd July — be there!
Women in Mobile Data is an excellent organisation advancing the female cause within the mobile industry. Pick any mobile company and you’re virtually guaranteed to find it 97% male. It’s not necessarily a deliberate thing, it’s just — well — historically, the mobile industry has been extremely boring. It’s been about wires, pipes, microwave dishes [...]
