Epsiode 10: Micello bring internal venue maps to mobile
You’ve had this problem, I guarantee it. You’ve used the brilliant Google Maps to find the venue location, but actually finding where you should *specifically* be within the venue quickly becomes an arse.

iPhone State of The Nation – before today’s keynote
Before the joy that is the Apple’s worldwide developer conference begins this morning here in San Francisco, I thought it might be useful to take a look at some stats from AdMob‘s April Metrics Report (PDF). Last month AdMob served 7.5 billion ads globally — with 250 million of those in the UK alone. How [...]
Episode 6: Don’t ‘ERASE’ your Palm Pre yet
You’ve just spent $1,000 (or, at least committed to spent that amount) on a gorgeous new Palm Pre, right? You’ve spent a little while playing with it and you decide to login online to the Palm Pre online management console at Palm.com. You’re rather impressed that the phone constantly updates your personal settings on the [...]
