One of the best presentations at the Essential Web event I participated in on Wednesday was from Jaiku. I downloaded the client onto my N73 while the guy was talking and had it up and running in minutes (Ok — I had to sign in using the regular S-60 browser — I should have been [...]
Why not? I live in Europe so I don’t have access to any iPhones today but here are my €.02 for what it’s worth: The iPhone is already catalyzing a sea-change in the mobile industry. This change is primarily about form factor, user interface and the Mobile Web. In terms of form factors, we will [...]
I will be “off the grid” for the coming week as I take my lovely and charming wife to an undisclosed location somewhere in the Greek islands to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Back on the 25th, hopefully rested, relaxed and rejuvinated.

I have started a new blog, “Mobile Web Review,” where I’ll be reviewing mobile Web sites. My first victim is FlickR mobile. For what I had to say, go on over to Mobile Web review, hosted on Vodafone Betavine. Also, take a look at what my comrade in arms Kevin Smith is saying on the [...]
Whether we like it or not, touch-screen phones are on the way in. Apple iPhone has made sure of that. There were some out there in the market already but by far the one that’s gotten the most press has been the Prada Phone. So I had an opportunity this week to handle a Prada [...]
Having Mor from Yahoo! Resarch pimp my phone up with the latest and greatest Zonetag. Thanks, Mor! Ok — I’m going to sleep now.
Apart from MobEA V (and meeting Dick Hardt — my quote: “Hey. You’re famous!”), the other highlight of the event for me was the panel I got to chair on Mobile Ajax. Now — this is an interesting topic, and we had some great speakers on the panel (the inset photo is Arun from AOL [...]
