Strolling around Mobile World Congress back in February, yes I’m very late posting, I stopped by the Visa booth to see what they had going on in the way of NFC (Near Field Communication).  I was offered a private briefing with with Bill Gajda the head of mobile banking for Visa, I jumped at the [...]

Dvir Reznik of Onavo

Hours before I was flying home from Israel recently Dvir Reznik had just flown back to Israel from Amsterdam I believe and I was anxious to meet up with him.  He is the head of marketing at Onavo, it’s one of the most likely companies I see succeeding in the next 12 months.

Truphone Now Supports BlackBerry

I’ve been writing about Truphone since 2007 and I suspect using it even longer.  I was called the biggest Truphone fan by Ewan MacLeod back in 2007 or 2008.  I wish I could remember when they launched but boy oh boy was it amazing back then. Fast forward 5 years (I’m guessing) and you know [...]

Use Ovi Maps with NO Data at all after SideLoading

Spending time in the Nokia suite at MWC in Barcelona I got to chatting with the maps guys and I learned something interesting thanks to Rita alerting me to the data usage issue.  Ovi Maps can be used out in the field entirely without a data connection. Yes you read that right, no data necessary [...]

Do you need a sim for MWC? I suggest Yoigo prepaid!

Being my second trip to Barcelona for Mobile World Congress I have a bit of advice.  If you or your company needs access to 3G or needs to make phone calls/sms, I suggest Yoigo.  I got my Yoigo sim last year at a store called OpenCor.  It is just a few hundred yards/meters from the [...]
