Some weeks ago I read an interesting article titled “Mobile music download too complex” on Digit Online.
In the article were reported some statements:
Buying music on a mobile phone is expensive, complicated and slow.
Simplifying the process is the key.
On average, users must click 20 times in a process that takes around two minutes to buy a [...]
Every time I met friends not involved in telecommunications or mobile phones I always get the same basic comment.
Why don’t you make things simpler on existing applications before thinking to new applications to be installed on the mobile phone?
This a crystal clear statement, and they are absolutely true when they say that.
Today I would like [...]
In the next few months we will a lot of new mobile phones coming to the market with integrated GPS functionality.
At the same time you can observe a lot of new applications like smart2go and AmazeGPS lining up with TomTom Navigator, Route66 and similar.
These are all great applications. They have pretty much the same functionality [...]
And what about the brand new concept called N99 from Nokia? Looking at the pictures, (courtesy of Newsmobile) and get a look at the patent registration (22nd march 2007), it seems that the Japanese “Robot transformer†it’s going to be applied to mobile phones too…Â

Alessandro’s analysis was so good that I [...]
If I look at what a mobile phone is today it’s very difficult to say that is only a phone.
It is a phone when you are making a call. It’s a camera when you are taking pictures. It’s a camcorder when you are shooting a video. It is a television set when you are looking [...]
There are plenty of new great internet applications coming to your mobile.
You will be able to chat with your friends, catch up with e-mails, read your favorites RSS feeds, browse the Internet, do Skype call while hitting the road.
That’s great. I want all of these applications on my mobile phone.
As we wrote some time ago, [...]
I think that most of us went through the experience of unpacking a new Microsoft based Personal Computer. You turn it on and you start the configuration process that finally will lead you to your desktop.
Very often you will find your tray filled with pre-installed applications like Messengers, Anti Virus Software, CD/DVD Burning software and [...]
I have been using Twitter for quite a time in the past, and I liked it.
From a couple of weeks I have dropped Twitter and I have jumped into Jaiku.
I have written in the past that I think that quite all applications should be built around the Contact list since it’s a revenue generator by [...]
It really seems that all operators are signing agreements with all the major internet players. 3 is launching services with MSN, Yahoo, Google and Skype, Vodafone with YouTube and MySpace.
Same thing seems to be happening with handset vendors. Just look at the last Nokia press release announcing an agreement with YouTube while, historically, they already [...]
Yesterday I talked about how User Generated Content will fit in the mobile ecosystem.
Today I would like to go a little bit further with some considerations.
It’s perfectly true that you may be much more interested in content generated by your friends than in content generated by unknown people. I also said that the Contacts application [...]
For several reasons I will not be attending the 3GSM World Congress this year.
From the reports that I am reading from the Internet there is great focus on Media and Internet companies. Yahoo, Disney, MTV have their own booth at 3GSM and all the recent press releases talk about these companies and their initiatives with [...]
Yesterday night I had a dinner out with a friend. He was a former research fellow at Olivetti in the shining days of that company.
Obviously we ended up talking about innovation in mobile phones and I shared some of my personal views on the subject. All these wonderful web 2.0 applications that are coming to [...]
It is definite that one of the most innovative ideas of the past century was the mobile phone. Going smaller, going brighter, going smarter, this object became an inimitable friend in our every day life. Dedicated to few business men in the beginning, he becomes a tool for everyone, and this made his fortune. His [...]
I think that 90% of the posts I’ve read today are iPhone related. Yesterday I was following the Steve Jobs keynote and while I was listening at him my first reaction was “I want one of those. Now!”.
This was emotional. When the speech ended and emotions started to fade I came up with some more [...]
