Mobiles, Beer and Segmentation – Approaching Dynamic Segments

January 6, 2010

How do mobiles and beer go together? Or not? This is the second post building on earlier reflections and considering how they apply to “segmenting the mobile market”.  For my beer and mobile question I may get a range of answers.

My del.icio.us bookmarks are also tweeted although the tweets miss out on additional notes and tags: This discussion with Nokia’s Rick Simonson is sort of the story you don’t want to tell and the spin you must – We're all Nokia watchers.

Another post I worte a few weeks ago and held off posting. I’d done it for my own understanding and as general market knowledge / intelligence. I held back on posting it as I’ve been doing some work for Nokia, I like Nokia and many of the people that work there impress me. Yet Ovi [...]

“Power to You” – Vodafone and services – Nokia and solutions

January 3, 2010

I’m reading “The Future is Calling” in print in India Today (Yes wrote most of this some weeks ago).  A quote at the top of the article caught my attention. Ten years ago, only three in hundred Indians had a phone. That number’s up to 45 now. The next step is going from plain communications [...]

N900 – Suggests an opportunity – Still missing the right metaphor to grab attention.

September 4, 2009

I’m reading Om and he’s been really down on Nokia recently and I’ve not exactly been a fanboy. Still there’s one new mobile device I am itching to try. Last week Nokia announced the N900 their first Maemo Touch Screen device. At IdeasCamp over the weekend I had it demoed to me. I won’t say [...]

When Real-Time Location Based Data Makes a Difference – Saves Lives

August 27, 2009

I’m curious. Are you ready to contribute your mobile to the common good? Would you participate in surveys on an ongoing basis? If we made it easy? Would you join a panel? I’ve been thinking more down this path after my visit to the Amazon. In the Amazon river basin, Dengue fever kills. Each year, [...]

How a Nokia Mobile Data Gathering Tool Helps to Save Lives in Manaus Brazil

July 29, 2009

The topline story from my Brazilian visit can be told with two maps that show the impact Dengue had in 2008 vs the current year 2009.  Simply, the map is all red in 2008. One year later, the incidence of Dengue per 100k of population has declined dramatically. This is a significant change and one [...]

First Impressions – Manaus Brazil – The people were wonderful.

July 29, 2009

I can show you a set of pictures of Manaus Brazil that makes it look quite idealistic, a stunning getaway (if you can get there easily – don’t ask about my 36+hour trips) destination, with an interesting history where Rubber Baron’s were once economic kings. Today it’s a thriving economic zone and yet almost an [...]

Mobile Learning and the Classroom

July 20, 2009

I was hanging out at Fort Mason getting my first look at kids working on their documentary projects. It took me two days to understand the deeper meaning around this project and the Mobile Learning Institute. This post serves as my first impressions. I’m watching middle school kids (11 to 14) working on scripts. They [...]

On Tuesday this last week I found myself in a learning lab at Fort Mason and then later out on the Marin headlands at…….. I’d been asked to be both fly on the wall and scribe. It was an opportunity to take a moment out, on my time and yet get exposure to thinking, reporting  [...]

How is your mobile phone use changing? What would your next smart phone do?

June 3, 2009

My thoughts revisited the SmartPhone market this morning when I read in the WSJ about Sony’s new super phone “Satio”coming in about six months. It’s another followup on the impending launch of the Nokia N97 which I’ve been following since it was first announced. We can add the Palm Pre to the mix too. Then [...]

June 16, 2008

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.

The Mobile Social World of Presence

May 29, 2008

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

May 9, 2008

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 [...]
