Frost & Sullivan have released a report for anyone who wants a bit of collateral to support their ‘mobile applications will be big’ argument. Interestingly though, Frost’s exhaustive research indicate that downloads from all app stores will reach 6.67 billion in 2014. Not 7 billion. Not 6 billion. 6.67 billion precisely. If it was me [...]

Help: Symbian statistics by geography?
Vojtech, Mr Czech Republic, now based in London, is on the hunt for some Symbian statistics, ideally by geography. I’ve always been a fan of the Symbian operating system, despite whacking it with a large stick at every opportune point (tough love, I’d like them to succeed) — and it’s for this reason that I’m [...]
Mobile downloads will hit 20 billion per year by 2014
2014 is sufficiently far enough away for your average analyst to avoid being held to account. That said, I think the figure of 20 billion application downloads per year, per planet, should be pretty accurate.

Is Nokia becoming Fox?
That’s one of the opened-ended questions posed by Kerrianne Gauld, Biz Dev at Smith & Williamson Corporate Finance on MoMoLondon this afternoon. Have a read: Hi I’m doing some research on the mobile advertising sector and wondered if anyone had any views on the sustainability of the sector. If the projected ad spend by 2013 [...]
BBC’s computer generated map of British telephone calls
The BBC have been promoting a show called “Britain from Above” in which which they take telemetry from various trackable sources and generate fancy maps of our activities and, presumably, add a thick layer of social commentary. In the promo video linked below they show a few examples of air, land and sea movements but [...]
AdMob’s iPhone traffic static; Sony gobbles up UK
Vijay, on behalf of mobile ad networking geniuses, AdMob, whacked me over these summary points from their February metrics report.
