I can remember my first wireless mobile device. It was a BlackBerry. I got it even though officially my grade wasn’t high enough but because I had to deal with a range of clients and partners in the Wunderman network across Europe in person and across email and calls. A BlackBerry would help. And atContinueContinue reading “From always on to mostly off”

Smartphones for seniors
This is just such an amazing idea. Silverline: making smartphones for seniors to help them stay healthy and in touch in what can be a confusing, fast and quite often too nimble to operate world. It also happens to be a project that a long-time friend from way back when, Daryl Arnold, has been involvedContinueContinue reading “Smartphones for seniors”
headphones made for mac
The kind folk at Jays sent me some of their new a-Jays Four headphones made especially for iPhone, IPod and iPad mac stuff to try out. Which is incredibly timely as I have always hated the headphones that come with iPhones.

Silly name but a big gun. “Walther PPK? Nah, need a bigger gun, like the one I had at the end of Casino Royale please.” Although dissappointed why the future availability (why not today, it’s not hard to do?) of the poster for mobile devices is restricted to US only.

Informative post on Twitter & super users with lots of off-shoots to other conversations. Some great sound bites on Twitter and synergies between it and mobile for teen audience. Any question answered text service. It costs £1 a pop. Although having your URL as the SMS short code is a nice idea, it’s hardly memorableContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 02.11.07”

In flight entertainment going a step too far? Virgin America have recently trialled an in flight IM service allowing you to badger the hell out of other passengers, probably the “hotty” 3 rows in front of you. Frankly I’d find this annoying as fuck as we say here in Blighty. But the general service seemsContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 12.09.07”

Not content with the fabulous Golf night driving, VW have extended the use of the Touareg stunts from the new Matt Damon film, the Bourne Ultimatum with a 3D stunt simulator: create your own stunts, load ’em, see if the people out there rate your stunt as cunning or not (deliberate Kenny Everett -ism thereContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 03.08.07”
