"Hottest media report of the year" shows how little we have learnt
Morgan Stanley has released a report by by Matthew Robson, the 15 year old intern, that is making headlines worldwide. The reason is the “relevations and drastic new insights” that teenagers don’t use twitter. That they do not want to pay for news etc. Stop. Breathe. Count to 10. Read report and comments again. The only [...]

LBS is hot!
Interesting to see the spike in readers yesterday after I posted about Layar and LBS. It shows it is of interest and the time might be ripe for some real LBS apps. This week I am launching a new section on the site called Expert Articles. The aim is to gather information around a few [...]
Layar – Another app that takes the BS out of LBS

This was a milestone week for the mobile content industry
“It’s Friday – I’m in love!”, The Cure This week has been pretty mind-blowing to be honest. Two pretty major announcements made from two behemoths in the industry. First out was Vodafone “outing” itself as a smart pipe nothing more and nothing less. Let’s hope the walk matches the talk. Your humble blogger has been a proponent [...]
Me and my mobile are inseparable!
In a recent study by the UK Post Office states that people have a very strong connection to their mobile phone. Only 3% of the women and 6% of the men among the 2000 surveyed would ive up their phone to save money. Rather people are moving to Pay as you go (prepaid) plans to [...]
