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 [...]
Expanding on Ewan’s Cannes Doctrine
I’ve been reading Ewan MacLeod’s blogs for many years now. I started back when MIR was SMSTextNews and was inspired by Ewan to write my own blog and endevour into the mobile industry. I went from an observer to someone involved and participating, from hosting industry events all over the world to traveling to the [...]
Why isn’t there IM in Google Maps Rant
Warning, I’m about to RANT: I’m a huge fan of Google Maps. It’s really a great stand alone app and it keeps getting better but I’m amazed that when they added Latitude they did not include (even just a basic form of) instant messaging with your Latitude friends. Latitude shows you were your friends are [...]
Internet access at Long Beach Airport (LGB)
A few months back I was flying out of Long Beach Airport (LGB) in California and decided to test the internet speed when I was there. I like many others have been known to spend a great deal of time waiting for flights that are sometimes shorter then the time we wait in the airport. [...]
Nokia E72 where are you???
So I used the E75 for a while then went back to my trusty E71 and back and forth and back and forth for weeks now. I love the format of my E71 but like the menu and speed of the E75. Plus the E75 has US 3G and my E71 doesn’t. I keep telling [...]
Nokia E72 is missing a few things
So I just looked up the Nokia E72 on the Nokia website and noticed that it is missing a few things. First off it won’t have included in the packaging a wrist strap or pouch like the E71 had. It’s not a huge thing but come on, this is supposed to be a step up [...]
The Address Book standards are broken
Alright, I’m sick and tired of the address book standards we have now. It’s utterly ridiculous that I can’t sync across multiple platforms specifically Google Contacts which includes Gmail and Google Voice 2 mobile numbers for the same contact. Even worse why in the world can’t I have 2 people in the same contact and [...]
When will we have one inbox for all communications?
I use messaging a great deal, from sms to email to instant messaging to Twitter to video chat to voice mail (unfortunately), I spend a lot of time communicating. I was thinking recently when will we see messaging apps evolve again? I’m hoping Google Wave will help but I don’t think it will take it [...]
Emoze to the rescue as usual when Nokia Messaging hiccups
I’m a fare guy, I use 2 apps to do the work of 1 because I like to see them in action. I’ve been using Nokia Messaging for my email for a while now and have gone back and forth with it. I also use emoze (a client of mine) to collect my email. emoze [...]
