If you got a new iPhone you will remember your first and perhaps only FaceTime call over WiFi. It was probably with a family member or a close friend. Then you promptly forgot about it. It’s best currently for a call home from a WiFi in the hotel type of moment. So it misses out [...]

Tomi Ahonen outlines his strategic reasons why Apple should launch an iPhoneNano. It’s a rather loNg post I point you to, a little too much history and some stories you may or may not agree with. Still it is a thoughtful piece and after sharing his definition for the iPhoneNano I’ll share a few of [...]

I started writing about Facetime quietly a month ago. Now I’m sharing some of those thoughts. Beyond the handset manufacturers and the mobile operators I think the enterprise, and suppliers to the Enterprise like Cisco for example should consider FaceTime and how it works carefully. Even companies like BT that have failed to fire on [...]

Go For a Walk – Share – The Future for Mobile Travel Guides? North Face and EveryTrails

August 4, 2010

Saw this announcement below for the North Face Trailhead App downloaded and had a quick look. After finding the trails near me (it’s accurate and they are good walks and biking areas) I looked at my current location.

I’ve written a few posts on the user implications of the iPad and changes to behavior that I’ve observed. You can find these here. Imagine my delight to find the BMWMOA International Rally had WiFi everywhere! It was excellent, consistent and delivered at high speed. Despite there being 6109 attendees there wasn’t the pressure on [...]

In the meantime I’ve continued to trace Apple’s FaceTime video solution for iPhone and contemplate the implications. Ultimately, I’m interested in the opportunities FaceTime is likely to create and present. Then what it [...]

July 9, 2010
logmein

It’s not often I feel misled by a product and the hoopla surrounding it. LogMeIn Ignition for iPad/iPhone (see below for their description) is misrepresented on their site. It’s simply not a secure solution and not worth 29.99 from the iTunes store. I’ll share my story and you can be the judge if my expectations [...]
