Nokia the giant that is in a slow-motion fall off the throne is still the biggest, but so far noone really has seen what will stop the fall. SonyEricsson, a mainstay in the top 5 historically, is gone from the top 5. Apple is actually in absolute numbers making it on to the top 5 [...]
Mobile cloud computing. Another hype term? Well, lately I have realised I use more services in the Cloud even from my phone. Mail is obvious, but lately also access to all my workfiles in the Cloud. I had a rela life/hard experience of this last Firday when my hard drive on my MacBookPro crashed while [...]
“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.
