Our man in the Valley Mike brings us his thoughts on iPhone Battery life. Over to Mike… — Is the iPhone 2.0 Software to Blame for Bad Battery Life? What most bloggers seemed to have missed in their complaints over the new iPhone 3G’s battery life, is that this is a problem affecting people with […]

As promised, here’s the first perspective of the iPhone 2.0 — from an executive who doesn’t work directly in the mobile industry. All too often we can get sucked up with the.next.best.thing — and the Apple magic does tend to stun and blind. How does someone in the online IT world react to the iPhone […]
SMS Text News reader Julian sent me this thoughtful viewpoint on the iPhone and platform-as-a-service. Have a read… – – – – – I am blown away by the vision of the platform.

Whilst everybody wanted to sit back and digest a lot of the announcements, everybody was explicit on the cost issue. I suspect that there is massive, massive pent-up demand for the iPhone. One of my biggest […]
Jonathan Mulholland knows a thing or three about the mobile industry and I always enjoy his perspective.
