    I’m at Supernova2008. Reporting of events generally. You can find more at ConversationHub.
    Kevin introduces Bob Iannucci from Nokia the largest mobile phone co in the world. Mobiles are a key enabler of what’s next. He says Nokia sells more phones in a week than Apple sells iPhones in a year. I’m sure this audience [...]

    The Mobile Social World of Presence

    05.29.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 5 Comments

    I’ve been thinking recently about my connectivity and mobility and one of the reasons I keep coming back to it is the dissonance I have when looking at the two mobiles I use most often. There’s now been many comparisons made between the Nokia N95 and the iPhone. Both best in class so to speak. [...]

    GupShup - Chatter or Twitter for the Masses?

    05.21.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 3 Comments

    Why aren’t mobile operators offering Twitter like services? Probably because they haven’t seen GupShup or it isn’t on their radar yet. Om Malik picked up on it earlier, then he’s connected to the investor. GupShup has over 4 million subscribers. So I’d actually expect it to be bigger than Twitter before too long.

    Is iPhone Lust Global?

    While recently in India, Dina and I explored the iPhone factor. We saw it in the wild (eg. people using them) and talked to 18 to 24 year old leading-edge mobile users in Mumbai. We were both left a little shocked! While focus groups aren’t statistical research and Mumbai is hardly an Apple stronghold; the [...]

    Kadoink - Am I just too old?

    03.05.08 | Stuart | Permalink | Comment?

    Kadoink? What is it? I was lucky to be part of a panel at Texting4Health last week and meet Ronna Tanenbaum one of the founders, so I was interest in trying it out. Basically you can send music and voice messages or blasts via SMS. Sort of SMS on Steriods if you learn the language.

    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 [...]

    N95 Gets an Upgrade & Damages Report

    I wrote this post some six weeks ago. Like many it was in the hopper unlinked and almost ready to post. In the meantime news that iPhone users are doing up to 50 times the browsing versus other smart phones has my attention. Screen size matters! So here it is…
