Lot of interesting things about this.
First of all I would say this not really nothing completely revolutionary for the mobile industry. Just checking my poor memory make me think about LiMo, OpenMoko, [...]

iPhone Sightings

I have read a lot of blog posts about iPhone sightings in the United States and, in some cases, those are presented as exceptional events.
I run a quick Technorati search a few minutes before and got 117 result for the search iphone+sighthings. Quite funny.

Vice President of Stupidity

There is some fun in this even if it proves to be absolutely true, specially in innovation or R&D departments.
I have run through Mike Sigers post at Simplenomics (by the way, highly recommended).
The main thing is:
You and I both know it’s true. Almost every CEO out there needs some to stand up and say, ” [...]

This morning I was flying from Milan to Rome and, as always, I was looking at which mobile phones people were using and at what they were doing with their mobiles.
