• Jack Bauer considers iPad as lethal weapon

  4/7/2010 7:48:44 AM

  It is possible but highly unlikely that you will recall @riverphonic’s tweet from a few months back saying something on the lines of “Jaded tech critics can be so tiresome. Can someone please just say, The iPad – Wow!”. Well, it looks like the verdict is in, now that the crowd has had a few days to hold it up to the light, shake it, clasp it to its collective bosom etc, and it seems to be favorable.

  As barometers of public opinion go, the commercial breaks in hit TV shows rate high, and none more so than those interrupting ...

• Mobile Dev Dilemma - to App or to WAP?

  3/18/2010 1:29:24 PM

   

  Competition is heating up between smartphone applications and mobile browsers, prompting brands to rethink where to channel development resources. Some say that applications, popular with the youth market, will displace search engines. Others that open APIs allow browsers to adopt the best features of applications.  ‘For smartphone users, mobile web is the killer app,’ says Nielsen’s David Gill at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive conference in Austin, TX. Given that most people either have or want a smartphone, mobile web, formerly known as WAP, is back in a big way.

  Few would deny that smartphone applications have been ...

• Back to Blighty - Land of the Quick Workaround

  1/4/2010 2:55:01 PM

  Just returned from annual hols to the mother country, insulated from the savage East Coast wind by an extra layer of lard from too many pints, pies and ultra-fat cream. As usual, England impresses as a country teeming with would-be entrepreneurs. Half the people you meet have got some idea for a short-cut, a scam or a start-up; or know someone who’s already doing what you’ve been thinking about on the plane over. It’s like going to Ireland and asking the cabbie for a bookshop recommendation (you’ll wind up feeling like you’ve been hanging out with James Joyce’s brother-in-law), except ...

• iPhone gets the Gucci treatment

  11/6/2009 2:35:49 PM

  At last, I have a Gucci app on my phone. It accessorizes handsomely with what I’m wearing. Beautifully designed, of course, and free to download, and some would say, you can’t argue with that. Except that there’s nothing special about being free anymore on the app store, is there? We all know that brands have some ulterior motive in offering free stuff for the phone. Without wanting to sound like a spoilt New Yorker, I’ve got an opportunity cost in checking it out, so What, beyond a cool icon, is Gucci actually going to give me?

  Well, for starters there’s ...

• Hung Up - is your phone a sex toy?

  9/16/2009 8:57:20 AM

  It’s smooth, it’s curved, it vibrates; it could even, if so desired, animate pictures of George Clooney’s fingers. It’s no surprise then that there are already some 25 “massage” apps competing on the iTunes Store, jostling for attention like so many buxom babes in the back of a local city guide. Some focus on the serious business of physical therapy and raise the bar with yogic text and oriental graphics; others coyly reference ‘emotional stimulation’; few come out and risk the wrath of Apple’s censors by telling it like it is.

  Which is, Ladies and Gentlemen (or just you ladies ...
