Questions to ask before mobile project

I made a small list of questions that I feel are important to ask from a project team before diving deeper to any mobile project. List goes like this: Is solution needed regularly or does it contain information that changes frequently? Do technical requirements match with...

My not-so-technical side

For myself mobile solutions are interesting on the technical side but very interesting they become when put to the broader context: what kind of impact new solutions will have to everyday life what kinds of solutions new enablers will allow us to create which solutions I feel are still...

Disabling network access when abroad

This summer I was able to take a wonderful two-week trip abroad with my family. One day during the trip I realized that I had a dangerous (=expensive) setup in my terminal: lots of applications doing automatic network operations every application has roaming check turned off...

Skype for S60

Finally I found the piece of news I have been waiting for so long: Skype is coming to Symbian devices. I didn't find anything about this from Skype's website, but last week 3 (operator) launched a new service called " X-Series " that has an amazing collection of mobile services and one...
