I didn’t bother signing up for Wakoopa when I heard about it a while ago. I thought it was a cool concept — track the desktop applications you’re using (along with ‘web applications’) and then publish the data to let you track what your friends are using. Now and again I’ve found myself on some [...]

Vodafone’s ‘App Store’: Mobile developers respond
I just published Vodafone’s news regarding their ‘app store’ initiative — and I’m already getting questions and reaction in from developers. Here are some quotes right off the press from some mobile developers. (I have removed names). – “I’d like to know how much of my revenues they’ll demand.” – “I like the ease of [...]
Vodafone’s write-once run-anywhere ‘app store’ for 289m customers
I’ve been hearing lots about Vodafone in recent weeks and I’m delighted to write that their new initiative is now publicly en-route. If you’re a mobile developer — or an internet developer with designs on mobile — today’s news deserves a sit-down analysis and big think by you and your colleagues. How would you like [...]
Mobile Developer TV is heading to Paris
We haven’t launched officially yet (where ‘official’ = deciding on a logo, implementing the theme) but the diary is already choc-a-bloc here at Mobile Developer TV. We’re putting on an event this month in Paris, France. I’ll have more details soon — but I can say that the event will be in the last week [...]
The new Mobile Developer TV logo is coming soon
I’ve had a few people ask me why I’ve kept Mobile Developer TV with the default run-of-the-mill WordPress theme at the moment. The answer is simple — I’m still working out the design. I’ve begun collating some super content and I wanted to get it up and out to the planet whilst I waited for [...]
Mobile Monday Silicon Valley rocked
Mobile Monday Silicon Valley was fantastic this evening. There was a huge turnout on an uncharacteristically rainy San Francisco evening for the Location-Aware app demo evening. Skyhook Wireless kindly underwrote the bar and gave a pitch at the beginning of the series of presentations, outlining their rather excellent range of location services available to mobile [...]
Heading to MobileTron on Thursday
Mobile Tron is Matthew Bennett’s inaugural mobile event for San Francisco and it’s taking place this Thursday at a rather swish design gallery art space (“Receiver Design”). The Facebook event is here and you’re welcome to come along if you’re into mobile and you’ve got something to say. I’m taking the camera equipment along so [...]
Help: Is this a mobile developer FAIL?
Whilst we get busy with the new design and arranging of developer interviews, I need your assistance on this conundrum. I’m not sure whether it’s a complete ‘FAIL’ (as the phrase goes) on the part of the developer, or whether it’s just-one-of-those-things. I’ve been using my Android G1 a lot since I arrived in America [...]

Android cometh: Sony Ericsson confirms Android 2.0 handsets
Goodness me it’s getting interesting in the mobile industry. For years I’ve been screaming with utter annoyance at the absolute rubbish Sony Ericsson has been vomiting into the marketplace. Their devices are amongst the nicest engineered on the planet. They’re well built, stylish, reliable and the cameras are simply amazing. But the dumb operating system [...]
