    Modding the 3G iPhone - Cracking the Case

    05.12.08 | Stuart | Permalink | Comment?

    Many have been predicting for weeks iPhone Black as the 3G version. The latest flurry over the weekend when apparently AT&T listed it on their website. Oops! The problem with all these predictions is there is no rationale other than it is cool. Who’s asking why? Why aren’t they? I believe the mobile handset market […]

    What’s Your iPhone Strategy? Speculation or Prediction

    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 met Michel Bauwens a couple of years ago in Belgium. The session focused on the future of P2P and I found it fascinating and refreshing.
