    iPod vTouch - September 2008?

    05.14.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 5 Comments

    I’m keep hearing about the technology; WiMax vs 3G vs WiMax, Skype or SIP etc. Andy wrote a post suggesting that Video would be a key component defining what next in IP communications. That’s getting closer to why it might matter. There are comments here, here, here, and here. None of these really tell me [...]

    Modding the 3G iPhone - Cracking the Case

    05.12.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 3 Comments

    Many have been predicting for weeks iPhone Black as the 3G version. The latest flurry over the weekend when apparently AT&T listed it on their website. Oops! The problem with all these predictions is there is no rationale other than it is cool. Who’s asking why? Why aren’t they? I believe the mobile handset market [...]

    Fring - the All in One iPhone App

    04.15.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 5 Comments

    I’ve been reading the hype today about the first iPhone VoIP app. Fring Beta iPhone launched today. What we read is all wow wow. What we have is a Fring beta on an unsupported platform that works and still needs work. I’m impressed and not impressed at the same time. As a proof of [...]

    What’s Your iPhone Strategy? Speculation or Prediction

    03.07.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 1 Comment

    A few years ago the strategy question for anyone in and around communications was “What’s your Skype strategy?”. Last year just after the Facebook API was launched it was common practice to ask: “What’s your Facebook strategy?“. Today, you need answers to “What’s your iPhone strategy?”.

    I’ve got a few friends which I’ve passionately talked [...]

    Voice Enabling the iPhone - iAssistant?

    03.04.08 | Stuart | Permalink | Comment?

    Wouldn’t it be nice to never dial a number again. What if you could just push one button and call all your friends by name? That in a nutshell is what Mobivox does. She’s a call assistant. “Hi Stuart. Who would you like to call?” My video examples below show how you can voice-enable [...]

    Hacking iPhones and eComm

    03.04.08 | Stuart | Permalink | Comment?

    In preparation for both eComm and the launch of the iPhone SDK on March 6th I spent some time on Sunday hacking my iPhone. I’d had it just one week. I’d killed my T-Mobile account to move to AT&T, so my initial activation was all official. Then I kept reading about more.. all the neat [...]

    iPhone — The difference right out of the box.

    02.25.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 2 Comments

    I bought a 16gb iPhone yesterday knowing I can no longer write about mobile devices without experiencing and living with an iPhone too. It is enormously appealing from opening the box to making the first calls. This won’t be my only post on the iPhone, in fact it is more likely to be one of [...]
