An iPhone As A Baby Monitor… Or Use It As A Spy Device

I have been working into Innovation for a long time and part of my day job was trying to understand which side use our customers could make of the technology, product or service I was analyzing. One of the golden rules is that users are always more creative than you. They will always find different […]

I Was An Engineer

I definitely was born as an engineer. If I look back at the early beginning of my career, I have to admit that I was definitely an engineer. My first assignement back in 1991 was to write software for a proprietary ERP package built on top of a Unix System V box and one of […]

Is It Time For Something New?

I have never been a great fan of Windows Mobile on mobile phones. Probably it is because I startedÂ using Windows Mobile on embedded systems a long time ago in my previous jobs and at the time it was not so impressive. If we look at Windows Mobile phones on the market today we see […]

HSPA Data Cards

I had a quick chat with a friend who lives in the United States regarding the future of HSPA Data Cards. By chance I also listened to a commercial this morning while I was driving to the office.

The Unboxing Phenomenon

While I go through my list of RSS subscriptions I always find ‘unboxing’ posts and I always find those posts very strange to me. Is it a form of geek porn, a ritual of an unknown pagan religion or what? Could someone who read this from the United States what do they find so cool […]

Sell Your Product

I have recently attended an event where an Italian venture capitalist was presenting his company. The main goal of the venue was to explain the main principles of the venture capitalist business. I was expecting something exciting in the presentation itself. I understand the finance may not be the funniest argument in the Universe but […]

The Mobile Phone Itself Is Irrelevant…

… It is what customers want to do that matters. This simple yet provocative sentence has been said by Rakesh Mahajen, Global Director of Mobility at BT Global Services, during a keynote speech in Barcelona.
