Have you come across Critical Path in your travels? I’ve written about them now and again, particularly in the context of their Memova mobile messaging services. Apart from being dead impressed that they managed to snare the domain, cp.net, I’ve been following them since the dotcom days when they were the company you talked to [...]

Orange offers an unhappy customer a loan to buy o2 iPhone
How do we solve the problem that is Orange? For a long time, this was a company that offered its customers ‘unlimited mobile data’, but only during off-peak hours. If you wanted to look up a train timetable, or send a photo to the internet during the day, you had to pay 3-4 pounds per [...]
Device complexity is killing normob upgrades
For the technological “geeks†out there, using a mobile is as simple as opening the front door. There’s no thought, no confusion, and for the most part complete understanding of what it is that you’re doing. Some people, as I very well know, are not blessed with this kindred ability to use anything that has [...]

The Power of Media Technology
I’m going to avoid delving into the politics of it, but over the past twelve days there has been a reoccurring story in our headlines; the Israel/Gaza issue. It’s one that has sparked outcry, and one that shouldn’t have happened. However, I was watching the news the other day, I think it was CNN or [...]
Skype: Am I missing something?
I am currently reviwing the INQ 1, and it has a inbuilt Skype client which is heavily promoted in its advertising and some would even say the INQ 1 is simply the Skype Phone version 3. I have 2 Skype contacts, that’s it! Who actually uses Skype?? This really hit home when reading a post [...]

MIR goes to Val d’Isere, France (and Happy New Year!)
