I have been using the Nokia N78 here in Europe. I like this device very much because it is thin, has a 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS and a very good map application (Nokia Maps). I have been using Nokia maps in Berlin and Amsterdam. What’s cool is that the GPS function finds your location on […]

I just posted an article about the success of mobile virtual network operator, Blyk, which has signed up 100,000 members in less than a year.

Nokia has just released two E Series smartphones, the E71 (pictured above) and the E66. I prefer the E71 because it has a QWERTY keyboard. I’m terrible at typing out characters and symbols on a phone keypad. However, the E66 looks more stylish. Both support Microsoft Exchange (used in many corporations). They will be available […]

Make sure you read the fine print. In the case of T-Mobile Germany, you’ll be punished severely if you exceed their data limits. Most 3G operators will have the same restrictions, despite their marketing babble about “Internet Everywhere” and “Broadband on the Move” and most dishonest of all, “unlimited, flat-rate data!”Read more here:T-Mobile’s 3G iPhone […]

I have been writing about the coming increase in demand for Wi-Fi access from people walking around with iPhones, iPods, gaming devices and Wi-Fi enabled mobile phones.

The conventional wisdom is that Apple has only about 5 percent of the market for personal computers. It appears that if you break down that market two segments, the sub-$1000 and the $1000-plus, that Apple has a massive 66 percent of the market for expensive computers. That means people who have enough money spend, go […]

Paul Bragiel, founder of Meetro, has just posted one of the best post-mortems I have read in a long time, explaining in great detail why Meetro, his location-aware instant messaging application, failed.
