I like to get out and meet the public relations people behind many of the big successes in the mobile industry. Whilst a lot of media colleagues are rather traditional when it comes to PR (‘never make them the story, always slam the phone down on at least one PR chap every week to keep’em [...]

Episode 25: Jay Fenton of HowlerTech on SpinVox and Scribe
I managed to grab Jay Fenton from HowlerTech at the MIR Mixer last week to find out what he thought of the SpinVox debacle (Jay has a lot of experience in the voice/telephony sector) and also to catch up on his rather nifty python WordPress client, Scribe.
Episode 24: MIR Mixer – Lynette Swift of Conexall
Lynette Swift of Conexall demonstrated some rather nifty voice telephony services (I was particularly keen to get a look at their point-and-click conferencing facilities). In this video, filmed at the MIR Mixer last week, Lynette gives us a preview of what’s coming!
Episode 23: MIR Mixer – Ed Hodges of Touchnote
I grabbed a few minutes with Ed Hodges of mobile-picture-to-physical-postcard service, Touchnote, at today’s MIR Mixer event in London. They’ve got a really smart new service for application developers that allows integration of the Touchnote library with just a few lines of code. The upshot? Developers can now easily monetise their photo-apps. Nice. More details [...]
Episode 22: Samsung Caxixi turns your Omnia into a musical instrument
Way back in Episode 8, I brought you some footage from one of the Mobile Monday Silicon Valley events. Right toward the end of the video, there’s a brief interview with Martin Tannerfors from the Samsung Mobile Innovator programme. Martin told me they had some rather nifty concepts in development and asked if I’d be [...]
Episode 21: Conversations with Kevin Neely: A power mobile user
I caught Kevin Neely at one of the Nokia mixer events in San Francisco recently and insisted he go in front of the camera. Although Kevin’s a tech blogger — but you’ll find him more on Twitter under the username @ktneely. I wanted to bring you some conversations with Kevin because he is your archetypal [...]
Episode 20: Dennis of WapReview on Nokia and the future of HTML5
Dennis is a strong supporter of the mobile web. So strong, he actually setup a website to document the best in mobile web / wap sites: WapReview.com. I caught up with Dennis in San Francisco and asked him how he reacted to Nokia’s recent N97 launch and why he thinks the future of the mobile [...]
Episode 19: Tnkgrl on Nokia, Symbian and the way ahead
When I was in the States the other month, I sat down with Tank Girl (‘tnkgrl‘) otherwise knows as Myriam. Myriam is very, very well known across North America as an absolute mobile genius. Not only does she do this stuff for a living (“by day, she’s a video game code-monkey“), she’s a hugely passionate [...]
Episode 18: MiFi 2352 mobile broadband hotspot
You need a MiFi 2352 mobile broadband hotspot device. You just do, especially if you work in mobile development and you find yourself on-the-go regularly. Just pop a sim-card inside the MiFi and hit the button to start your personal hotspot. Up to five of your 802.11b/g devices can piggy-back on the MiFi’s data connection [...]
Episode 17: Nokia N97 and the Samsung i8910 Omnia HD
Matthew Bennett from US Mobile Industry gives us a brief overview of the all new Nokia N97 and the Samsung i8910 Omnia HD handset, both running the Symbian S60 platform. Matthew’s real interest is video (since he regularly produces video podcasts via his handsets) so I think on balance, he’s a bigger fan of the [...]
