    Bob Iannucci Nokia and Mobile Sensors

    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. [...]

    Repairs, Tweaks and Choice - Mobile Phones

    05.09.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 3 Comments

    18 months ago I bought my daughter a Nokia n73 in India as a birthday present. At the time it was about the coolest phone I could get for her with a 3mpx auto focus camera etc. She’s a torture test user. The first keyboard lasted one year before the whole joystick and keypad underpinnings [...]

    Manish Market and the New Mobile Ghetto Blasters

    05.06.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 1 Comment

    I’ve recently purchased a “China Phone” at Manish Market in Mumbai. I wanted to just have one as an example. Manish Market is the center of the “China Phone” trade. The building is ugly on the outside and dirty on the inside. It’s packed with two or three people crowding every kiosk. It’s noisy, [...]

    From the Mouths of Kids - Mobile Insight

    05.06.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 1 Comment

    I made three new friends while in the Dharavi Slum in Mumbai. At first they just tagged along and then as we stopped at various mobile kiosks, photo booths they caught on to my interest in mobile phones and what was being used.
    These three kids were some of the smartest I’ve ever met on my [...]

    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 [...]

    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 [...]

    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…

    Nokia N81 8GB - Complex Decisions

    12.17.07 | Stuart | Permalink | 1 Comment

    I received this gorgeous package about two weeks ago from Andy Abramson. It contained the latest Nokia N-81 8GB music phone. It’s really gorgeous. It has a deep shiney black finish and closed could almost be mistaken for an iPod. I really can’t review this phone without referring to both iPhones and the Nokia N95 [...]

    Another Thought on Music and Mobility

    12.17.07 | Stuart | Permalink | 1 Comment

    A trackback led me to a litte more thinking on Music Phones. I’ve been learning what an Nokia N81 8GB music phone can do for me. After the weekend I’m getting a perspective that it is not just the phone but the accessories that you have that often makes the experience or pushes it to [...]

    Bluetooth Car Stereos and My Mobile

    12.14.07 | Stuart | Permalink | 3 Comments

    A few weeks ago my car was broken into and the car stereo stolen. Pain, insurance etc. It annoyed me at the time and seemed so useless. The theives got away, although left part of the stereo behind in the dash. The radio not even worth the price of the smashed glass. In the [...]
