Skype Is Now Giving Nimbuzz The Boot
Oh great, Skype is flexing it’s little pasty arm again. After this summers ordeal with Skype banning Fring for “breach of its API terms” it’s doing the same again with Nimbuzz now. It was inevitable but still disappointing. Skype is heading toward an IPO so it seems as if it’s tying up any loose ends but truth [...]
Consumers Should Buy Phones From Manufacturers Not Carriers
I had an idea while I was driving yesterday. People hate paying full price for a smart phone as well as hate being locked into a contract with a carrier. I was thinking about what a guy a coffee shop told me the day before, “I want a new phone to keep for years but [...]
Google Latitude Needs More Privacy Options
I’m a big fan of Google Maps and have really enjoyed using Google Latitude. But it has a really big fault in my opinion. I hate the fact that I can’t block it from transmitting my location from 1 place in particular. I’d really like to never tell anybody where my home is. My home [...]
Is Nokia Dead??? Just kidding. I have a few suggestions err rant.
I keep reading about this, people ask me about it and I’ve even asked myself the question a few times. The answer is NO, Nokia is nowhere near dead. They sell a bazillion phones a day and are still the leader in smart phones with Symbian. I personally prefer Symbian over every other platform I’ve [...]
I’m Frustrated With So Many Touch Screens Wheres the Blackberry Format?
I’m getting frustrated with mobile these days. I am really tired of the popular formats of phones and nothing is really changing. I know touchscreen only handsets are popular but I’m personally bored to bits of seeing them everywhere. Everyone and their mother has a touchscreen phone and I see them struggling all the time. I [...]
The Nokia Ovi App Store should have the latest app builds
I don’t know why but I’m in a “Tell it as it should be” mood, so I’m going to voice my opinion once again. And as usual it’s directed at Nokia, don’t take it personally Nokia, I really like you and want you to succeed and blow away the competition. Now that that’s out of [...]
Nokia Ovi Store Should Be Selling Phones
So I’ve been a big user of the Ovi Store lately. It has come a long way in the last few months and I’m very keen on it. But while I was in Barcelona a few months back I had a meetings about the Ovi Store and voiced my frustration that I couldn’t purchase handsets [...]
A call to action for Nokia to get more good apps built
Hello Nokia, are you there? Are you listening? Ok now that I have your attention I have something to tell you. Come close so I can tell you in your ear. A little closer. IT’S TIME. It’s time to start pushing apps like never before. It’s time to step up your game like never before. [...]
FourSquare popularity is starting to wane
So I’ve been a big fan of FourSquare for months now. I never minded seeing peoples updates in Twitter but it seems like MANY people do. Anyways, I’ve nearly lost all interest in FourSquare in the last month or so for no known reason. I’ve also been hearing more and more backlash against people posting [...]
Ovi Store should start selling phones
Ovi Store is what it’s called, right? they why is it only selling apps. Why isn’t the Ovi Store selling Nokia handsets and accessories? Nokia clearly has the ability to sell devices online already directly to the consumer so what’s holding them back from selling phones on the Ovi Store? If Ovi bills the service [...]
