eyePhone - Your tourist guide
I've stumbled upon this article recently and thought might be worth sharing with you.
If
we put the name of this software aside a bit (it obviously tries to
ride the waves of iPhone), the idea is great. Take a smartphone being
able to
take good quality photos
use GPS

Symbian and Windows on the same device - what the hell?
I've just finished knitting the brows after reading it in the news that IBM launches an initiative
that has something to do with the mobile world. "It seems", I thought,
"that there's so much money in mobile business that even the Big Blue could not resist".
...
Apple as an MVNO
Very interesting patent from Apple (thanks to Unwired View ), I wonder how it would work in practice.
Generally
I can see it's a viable idea, however, also wondering how roaming
charges can compete with any networks' own tariff. I understand that
there would be a competition between...
iPhone SDK and Business Model - only kids get too excited
I think it's a good idea to wait a bit with commenting the
announement of big things. You might not be as fast as others, but at
least will have a broader view to the whole picture. At least that's
what I did with Steve Jobs' announcement about the iPhone SDK (official
press release is...
Predictions for smartphone industry in 2008
I've read the recent blog of my fellow Forum Nokia Champion, Paul Coulton ,
with great interest. Similarly to Paul, I'm not an experienced
fortuneteller, but after reading his article I thought I would give it
a try, too. You know, what can I lose other than being not right? :)...
Smartphone OS market share in 2007
I'm a big fan of Simon Judge's blog, Mobile Phone Development , and I read his article about Q3/2007 Smartphone Market Share with great interest. I agree with his findings, however, I would add my own thoughts to it, too. I
found it very interesting that most people might not...
Tilt-O-Mania, also known as Nokmote
Have you ever felt that your idea is stolen and "Damn, I wish I had been faster in doing it"? Now I feel exactly that way. The first time I heard that another Nokia phone, N95, has a built-in accelerometer I started wondering why on Earth ? Why on Earth is it worth for Nokia to put...

Treading on shaky ground
If I were Dumbledore , then I could put my thoughts, memories in my pensive to keep my mind clear and fresh. But I'm not him at all and my mind now feels overburdened with news that I can't keep in - so I let them out.
You know, it's a great thing to tag blog articles. It keeps them...
Nokia's new strategy in US market
I, and other much wiser bloggers, have already written about how unsuccessful Nokia had been in selling phones on the US market. It seems that American people are resistant to smart phones, they're simply satisfied with text messaging and using their phones mainly for voice calls....
Cost monitoring
I've started wondering just recently why there is no support at all for cost monitoring on our phones? Okay, on S60 phones there are two applications where you can monitor - how much time you've spent with speaking on the phone, - how much data you've up/downloaded. You've spotted that...
Sony Ericsson to acquire UIQ Technology
Interestingly enough, this post is neither about Nokia nor any of their products as you would expect from a Forum Nokia blog post. It's about Sony Ericsson and their press release regarding acquiring UIQ Technology. Many popular mobile blogs (e.g. here , here and here ) have already drawn...
Let's use DRM!
I've seen *lots* of questions on various S60 forums, where developers were asking for advices on how to implement THE ideal security technique that protects their application from cracking, stealing and in general: using without the permission of the author. I'm not sure if they're aware of that...
