Aptana Cloud | Aptana

Interesting development from Aptana. Solid LAMP stack deployment including their innovative new JAXER framework (I was beginning to wonder how to deploy this stuff) and also RoR, which I see as a great complimentary framework to JAXER. […]

iPhone and the (extended) iFamily…

July 29th, 2008 · No Comments

I was wondering again about Alpha families and related mobile services. Thus far, I don’t think I’ve really found a convincing ‘Alpha family’ package. Let me first re-name and re-define this micro-trend.
In homage to the great ‘i’ prefix, I prefer iFamily. It seems apt, seeing as how the iFamily invariably comes fully laiden with iPods […]

Instapaper

Way to “web clip’ data to read later on the iPhone. Classic use of offline via the new iPhone client. Great little productivity app in principle, but will the ‘things to read’ bin simply get full? Like all our ‘to […]

SquirrelFish = faster mobile web browsing…

July 19th, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve been researching browser architectures for a European operator and started looking at JavaScript performance issues. For the technically minded who enjoy getting into browser architectures, the latest developments in the webkit Javascript interpreter - SquirrelFish - make interesting reading, as posted on the Surfin’ Safari blog. SquirrelFish actually uses the very latest in interpreter […]

Alpha Mums and mobiles…

July 18th, 2008 · No Comments

I bought Groundswell, a book about social technologies and social media. It seemed worth the price for its insights into ‘technography,’ or ethnography applied to internet usage. An interesting ‘persona’ from the various categories is the Alpha Mum (Mom). She is a tech-savvy mother, apparently of interest to the likes of Nintendo and others. I […]

3G iPhone on O2 - why stop taking orders?

July 18th, 2008 · No Comments

It seems odd that O2 decided to stop taking online orders for the 3G iPhone. Potential customers are forced to keep checking back to see an updated list of which shops might have a few in stock - and even then we’re not told how many.
Why not take the order online and then notify […]

iPhone apps - show and tell (me where you are)…

July 15th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I upgraded my iPhone to 2.0 and downloaded a few of the apps. Glad to see my favourite mobile app - Shazam - now available on iPhone, including links to iTunes, which is just what I wanted.
Immediately, there are a couple of early trends to notice:
1. Many of the iPhone apps are photo and location […]

Like McLuhan’s fish - operators haven’t discovered social networks…their own, that is…

July 10th, 2008 · 7 Comments

Yesterday I was in a panel session discussing mobile social networks (I will post my slides on slideshare soon.)
I mostly covered how to ‘mobilize’ social networks - and the ways are perhaps more than we think. My opening ‘in passing’ point was to mention how mobile networks are already the biggest and most well used […]
