How many downloads does Vodafone Live! have in a month? If the numbers coming out of the Apple PR machine are anywhere near reality there is something to say for on-device-portals for content and apps. It is a concept that has been around the industry for ever. No-one has cracked it. But maybe an extremely [...]
Summer has been good to you I hope. I can’t complain at all. The good thing was to be a more normal/consumer user of my mobile. Not just testing our own apps. I spent the summer with my iPhone and a Nokia E51. So what great moments did mobile services give me? Google maps on [...]

The Q&A and following discussions during the day taught me new things. On a personal note I got confirmation that presenting with the same attitude that I ski is a good approach [...]
The glove has been thrown. Or rather some one has spoken up. In Michael Mace’s very well written post about the death of mobile applications, we also learn much about the mobile content value chain in general. Fragmentation is a major hurdle in this case. Young small (and often quite weak financially) developers try to [...]
