This week has been a big week for the iPad. Not only did Steve Jobs launch the iPad2 on March 2nd, there has been a lot of discussion in the UK about iPadvertising as well as how iPad publishers are being treated by Apple. Image credit: Reuters. I first used the term “iPadvertising” on my [...]

I have Twitter CEO Dick Costolo to thank for a new analogy to debunk pundit thinking on mobile advertising. Yesterday in Barcelona, Dick gave a great speech at the annual Mobile World Congress. You can watch his 30 minute speech online, where “registration” (for spam collection) is required but it is free. Dick said that [...]

If like me you deliver a lot of presentations at conferences, you will realise how important it is that the speaker keeps to the time allotted, otherwise conference sessions and lunch breaks can drag on aimlessly. Thankfully, help is at hand with an iPhone and iPad app called Presentation Clock. UPDATE: Even Russian President Dmitry [...]

I read with interest in the latest edition of New Media Age that the iAd network (to be launched by Apple next month in the UK) is asking £600,000 from advertisers as a minimum campaign spend. Now this to me seems like an awful lot of money, especially for a mobile campaign – and on [...]

On my recent trip to Sydney, I picked up an iPad (around £100 cheaper in Australia given I could claim back the 10% GST as I was taking it out of the country, and it is not subject to the “cost of doing business in the UK” Apple tax). What has amazed me is that everyone [...]

I had lunch today with Javier Foncillas who is Director of Branded Content for Vodafone.

With the flurry of announcements about application stores at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona recently, it got me thinking… At what point does an application store from Apple, Nokia or a mobile operator simply become another walled garden? Let’s check for the signs that app stores are really just a new type of walled garden: [...]

I have been reading a ton of reviews and views on the new iPhone and so have resisted blogging about it, save my views just become caught up in the iPhone noise. Travelling home tonight on the tube, I picked up a copy of London Lite, one of London’s two free evening newspapers. On one [...]
…well not really. The summary from the official Google mobile blog reads “Wireless phones can make and receive calls because they are connected over the air to a nearby cell tower. The phone knows the ID of the cell tower that it’s currently using. If the phone has GPS, the Maps application on the phone [...]

As a non iPhone user, I almost missed the news from Steve Job’s Mac World address that the iPhone would be receiving new firmware. Because I don’t own the device, I have no need to update the firmware, but reading this official Google blog post, something caught my eye. Then over the next few days others [...]
