Apple red faced over Nokia claim
I've got to admit I'm loving stories on the wires this morning regarding Apple's Siri voice control giving a big up to Nokia's Lumia 900. Apparently the US firm has had to amend its software after Siri named the Nokia Windows Phone the best smartphone ever when asked by users.

Smartphone development since 1997
I watched the Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies over the weekend, and couldn't help but notice the 'smartphone' used in the film. It was some Ericsson device offering all manner of natty functions, like a built-in taser, but also sporting a number of functions that are starting to make an appearance on current...

I just don't get mobile apps
I've been getting a lot of comments from friends about why I run a battered and incresingly difficult to use Sony Ericsson W800i rather than a smartphone. The truth is, while I'm considering buying a new handset, I just don't see the need for me to have a smartphone. I've quizzed friends about what they like about their...

Thankfully, we’re seeing the end of the era when the use of the term ‘cloud’ was basically the wrong terminology for provision of a network server. We’re now witnessing the genuine concept of a business or consumer’s own cloud and the term is applicable in its true sense to a variety of services. The sheer scale of different devices through which people access and share information has been a major factor in t...

Why do operators feel the need to hold on to old systems and data? These are the same people that will replace a perfectly good TV with a 60” plasma for no other reason than they want to. Every year they get the latest laptop or smart phone and yet they just can’t part with a 10 year old CRM system. Legacy B/OSS is like the vintage cars that so many of us admire – they might still work but aren’t reliable for daily us...

  In the recent past, CSPs owned the value chain – they “owned” the interface with the customer, defined the services to be extended to their customer, deployed and ran the network and billed the customers for the services they consumed.  In this marketplace, the CSP deployed many variations to their business model to achieve expressed objectives including, for the past few years, an increase in managed services...

The mobile industry has seen such significant shifts in recent years that the days when a CSP simply provided the network to make a phone call and send a text message seem a millennium ago. At the time the challenges were arguably no less significant than they are today but looking back now it seems a much simpler age. Ensure the network is functional, give the customer a free or discounted handset and charge them a pretty penny for usage ...
