Finally upgraded to Vimeo Plus

Friday, January 16th, 2009

You know we’ve been using Vimeo for the MIR Shows? Well I’ve been privately quite annoyed that I haven’t been able to pay money for such a brilliant service. I’m pleased to have upgraded. You get quite a lot of rather nifty options — including the ability to upload 5gb’s worth of video each week which will be rather useful.

Up until now we’ve only delivered you ‘decent quality video’ — but now we can try out uploading the HD quality. And the encoding should now be much higher quality. Bring it on.

24% of Apple iPhone users upgraded from a Motorola RAZR

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

JD Power have released a study of 20,000 mobile phone users in the States. It makes for interesting reading — and Arc Chart have the gossip here.

However Giff from i2SMS noted a key stat (in the same piece at Arc Chart, this time referencing a study by Rubicon Consulting):

24% — or, almost a quarter — of those surveyed who upgraded to an iPhone, did so from a stinky Motorola RAZR.

Now I don’t have exact stats — and I can’t be sure how representative the Rubicon Consulting study is. The important bit for me is the mind-blowing difference of experience that those RAZR users will have encountered.

I would have loved to have sat and watched the new iPhone user put his RAZR in a drawer in his desk and unpack his new device… and start surfing, Googling, texting, taking photos and so on.

I wonder just how many iPhone users, worldwide, are entirely new to the ’smartphone’ experience? Fascinating.
