How big is the mobile opportunity?

No Changes in Mobile

June 24, 2008

Today’s announce­ment by Nokia that it would acquire all of Sym­bian rep­re­sents an impor­tant move in the upcom­ing bat­tle for next gen­er­a­tion mobile devices (to call them phone seems unfair as they tend to do more than just make calls). In this entry, I’ll take a quick look at how the dif­fer­ent play­ers are cur­rently approaching […]

iPhone 2: More than meets the eye

June 11, 2008

There has been much writ­ten about Steve Jobs’ keynote on Mon­day, intro­duc­ing a new ver­sion of the iPhone, a rebranded ver­sion of .mac, and a new ver­sion of the OSX Oper­at­ing Sys­tem. How­ever, amid all the praises, there seems to have been a few items miss­ing from the dis­cus­sion. iPhone: 3G OK but not every­where As expected, Apple did […]

Is Techmeme myopic?

June 2, 2008

I’m a big fan of Tech­Meme, a web aggre­ga­tion ser­vice that pro­vides, at a glance, a few of what’s being dis­cussed in the technology-focused part of the blo­gos­phere. It has allowed me to unsub­scribe from a large num­ber of RSS feeds that were pro­vid­ing me with redun­dant infor­ma­tion and I’ve long hoped for a ver­sion of Tech­Meme that would pro­vide me […]

Could Tech Support Undo Palm?

December 27, 2007

I’ve been a sup­porter of Palm for a very long time (in fact, I’ve been a sup­porter of Palm for longer than the com­pany itself has existed as I sup­ported it through the first iter­a­tion of the com­pany, its sub­se­quent acqui­si­tion by US Robot­ics, then 3COM, then its return to a new com­pany base, its merger with Hand­spring and its […]

Personal Relationship Manager

December 10, 2007

I am a tad obses­sive about my address book. While there are sev­eral thou­sand peo­ple in it, I tend to believe that I need to make sure that they stay cur­rent and I look to my address book as the cen­ter of my social net­work. but it ought to work more like a per­sonal rela­tion­ship man­ager. I was recently describing […]

Safari: Apple’s New Platform?

June 12, 2007

Yesterday’s announce­ment of Apple launch­ing it’s Safari web browser for the win­dow plat­form was a bit puz­zling and I wasn’t sure of what to make of it at first. So I decided to read more about it and then install it. Of course, day one is always amus­ing. First, it’s clear that the secu­rity claims are not fully […]

The iPhone is here

January 9, 2007

So it’s offi­cial: Apple now is a phone man­u­fac­turer. With the announce­ment of the Apple iPhone, we can now finally assess that new prod­uct and I have to say, color me impressed. The com­pany has man­aged to over­come a lot of the prob­lems sur­round­ing exist­ing mobile phones and cre­ated a device that is close to what geeks like myself […]
