What App Do You Wish You Could Design Today? – My Safeway Shopper

January 6, 2012

Time to consider a place I shop at least once a week and ask “Why isn’t there a Safeway App for that?” That’s right there’s been no real advance in Supermarket shopping in ages. Well a some stores have tried self-checkout (I’ve seen it more in Britain). Most have some form of loyalty program. Gee [...]

December 30, 2011

I’m creating this post using air dictate a new application which allows you to use Siri on your Mac. Let’s just say it works fine. Many years ago when I first started working I used a Dictaphone . Now I just feel rusty. What amazes me is this app seems to work more effectively than [...]

Siri – What Will You Do For Me in 2012? #iphone #developers #api

December 29, 2011

As 2011 closes it is becoming more obvious that Siri really changed the perspective on how we communicate and use smart phones. Siri is beta for a reason. It doesn’t always work and you still have to learn to work with it. This is a post covering a few of my own observations and what [...]

Apple #iPhone – Please let us upload Photo’s / Videos via iOS Safari

December 29, 2011

Time to complain about Apple’s highly restrictive iOS Safari policy. Here’s my example – you be the judge. I am visiting a website on my mobile. It has a form that asks for a photo. However the choose photo file button is shaded out. Why? Because iOS Safari doesn’t allow you to upload files / [...]

Ethnographer’s Mobile Tools – Audio Note

December 28, 2011

I’ve decided to publish a short series on mobile tools that can be adapted effectively for the ethnographers craft. Today let’s think about recording the discussion/observations. Typically I use a note book. I write in it and make the odd drawing or sketch. While that’s all happening a digital recorder is usually capturing anything that’s [...]

Ethnographer’s Mobile Tools – 360 Panorama

December 28, 2011

With each advance in smartphone tech I seek to find new and easier ways to capture what I actually see in the field. I find that running a video… often doesn’t do it later when telling a story with a visual. Equally, it can be difficult to let people see things through their own lens…. [...]

Flipboard – a 2011 game changer

December 28, 2011

I was an occasional user of Flipboard on my iPad, while I liked it I didn’t use it all that often. When the iPhone version launched all that changed. It simply became my number one newsy app. It wasn’t because the news was better (it was much the same), or because it organized it in [...]

Google Must Choose – Will it be Search or Android? Google mOS?

December 21, 2011

Google needs a new strategy for Android. As a brand, as a design direction and in deepening its corporate understanding of where mobile and search intersect. I started this post really wondering if Android has lost it’s way? I end it concluding that Android as a brand, or sub-brand isn’t helping Google with their long-term strategic [...]

Buying your Soft-Sim mobile. Who’s taking control? Who should get it?

September 14, 2011

This post talks “Sim-free” or “soft-SIM” solutions and implications. At one time it looked like iPhone 5 would launch with a soft-sim. Today that seems unlikely – although it certainly isn’t off the table. We do know the next generation GSM/CDMA iPhone5  solution will make changing between operators simpler – if unlocked! I’ve been following [...]
