I have held off from blogging about the iPhone here much thus far, but I am going to chuck some opinion out there. This is not just about the iPhone though, it is more about how the industry needs to react because of it. Let me say this right off the bad: the iPhone is [...]

I have been in online journalism for several years now, surely not that long compared to a lot of the veterans I know, but enough to realize a few observations about the industry. I love journalism, and can’t imagine doing much else anymore, and I solidly believe that the place to be is not in [...]

This is in response to Kent Newsome’s request for inspiration for his feed reading list (his ‘swivel feeds’ experiment). As you can imagine, most of my 150 or so feeds I read regularly (there are more that I only glance at now and then) are focused on mobile technology, but there are still some that [...]

I hear a lot of talk from people about the fact that the traditional ‘dumb phone’ will eventually be deleted from the market in favor of smartphones. While this is a valid point of view, I don’t entirely agree. Sure, smartphone hardware and software are getting cheaper and easier for manufacturers to produce, but I [...]

I am normally the early adopter, the person pushing for new gadgets that change your life, but this is something decidedly low-tech. Despite this, using it has changed my life. The [...]

An interesting thing that I would normally just pass over happened to me a couple of days ago: I was talking about Windows Media Player with a friend of mine, and when I told him he should upgrade to the new version 11, he did not know that Microsoft made it, and as such asked [...]

Checking the stats on MobileBurn, in the six hours that my Apple iPhone article has been up, it has received as many hits as any other release story from CES has received in the full 24 hour period after publishing. That’s on track for four times the popularity of its nearest competing story, the Nokia [...]

I don’t know how it is in other countries, but here in Australia there is a general uproar over the closure of a lot of bank branches, especially in rural areas. It is not limited to just one bank, either, all of the banks have come under fire for branch closures. While the case is [...]
