Mobile World Congress underwhelms me
Just getting back to normal and a 3GSM/MWC wrap-up post.
Well besides the amazing people I meet the whole event was completely underwhelming.
First to the Ireland stand, I know people including me give EI a bit of a hard time but this was excellent, the stand was 100 feet from the Microsoft and the build/layout was [...]
A new start
Its been a while since I start this on-line presence and following some free advice from Eoghan McCabe at Christmas regarding a fragmented on-line presence I decided to change everything to Pat Phelan, Twitter, Jaiku and now this blog have been upgraded.
I am delighted with the result, Sabrina Dent does really nice work and has [...]
What happens in Barcelona stays in Barcelona? em, NO
Probably of the most exciting days and nights yesterday here at 3GSM
The show yesterday appeared to be more about people and a lot more excellent contacts were made but the real deal yesterday was the MAXroam/QIK party. We were late getting there ourselves due to a crazy taxi driver but eventually made it.
The line-up was [...]
Barcelona is HUGE
This is turning into an amazing event, today was just huge, met Andy Abramson first, then Alec Saunders who has the skinny here on the new Nokia handsets, the N96 is visually stunning.
Loren has arrived and is shaking the city up, I cant wait until this guy gets loose at the event.
Tonight’s party was at [...]
“WORLD’S TINIEST FILM FESTIVAL” by VRINGO
I saw this and thought of our own Hitchcock Mr. Loren Feldman who is going to be shooting at least a movie a day at MSW08 Barcelona.
What a really smart initiative, kudos to the VRINGO team.
Hope they will ship the 32-inch flat-screen TVs I don’t think Mr. Feldman’s PA would appreciate the load on the [...]
3GSM Party
A number of people asked me over the past few weeks what were we doing for 3GSM?
Well we have decided to have a little get together on Tuesday night, details below
I think we will keep it quite small, hopefully under 30 as we want to get everyone talking and mixing and to avoid it becoming [...]
Helio drops unlimited to $99 desperate sign goes up
Helio the USA based MVNO has dropped it unlimited price by $56.
The plan which now costs $99 includes everything needed by the power user.
Earthlink founder Sky Dayton recently resigned as chief executive of the SK telecom backed company which is reportedly haemorrhaging cash and the end may be in sight for the company.
4 short films from Jawbone
One of my favourite products which I am worn out from evangelising is Jawbone
This is the most satisfying mobile product I have purchased very closely followed by the N95 8GB.
In a really unusual move Jawbone has commissioned director award winning actor Sam Bayer to make four short films based on the uniqueness of the headset.
Interesting [...]
Revenue idea for Twitter, Techcrunch, Engadget and Gizmodo
With Twitter obviously checking out revenue models a simple thought occurred to me.
Last year I met a few people from the Sonopia team which allows companies, groups and clubs to set up their own MVNO.
With Twitter roughly at 500,000 users and growing why not launch Twitter mobile?
Techcrunch, Engadget and Gizmodo would have a lot of [...]
Voce gets a sore throat
Voce which was the subject of a post here in April of last year appears to have gone belly-up.
The AT&T MVNO has not responded to my emails for comment on this intomobile post.
I am disappointed with this disappointed as I felt and still do that the market is there for this product.
“Users get a choice [...]
