This post is about mobile services, innovation and where I think we’re heading in that space. I’ve been thinking about this stuff lately, and here are some of my thoughts on the subject.

There is no distinction between the wired and wireless internet. Mobile phones are first class net citizens, and any service provider that refuses […]

I’m continuing to rave about Maxdox, but that is only because their tool is really, really cool. It is the closest thing to mobile flash/pdf that I’ve seen, and it works great! Here is a demo, created by the folks at Maxdox and hosted by us, that you can order to your phone by sms […]

Search as we know it seems to be pretty much a thing for a selected few. Google dominates internet search (with yahoo and msn catching up), while blog search is getting perfected by companies like technorati &co. The entry costs for creating a new search engine from the ground up is increasingly putting a halt […]

This is the perfect companion to my N70. Gorgeous screen, smaller-than-you’d-think-formfactor, and the handwriting recognition actually works quite well. Browsing is fast enough at 3G speeds, and the browser seems to render just about any page. Lots of 3rd party software, with new ports almost daily. The thing l’m missing most is a port of […]

Merkitys is a Flickr integration application for Series 60 compatible phones, but with a twist. It uses all contextual information it can get hold on: location (cell/gps), country, city, the bluetooth environment and calendar entries, which it publishes along with the image as tags on Flickr (you get to choose which of these are used, […]

A started to think about this when I did a google search for AdSense revenue-sharing. The first hit is KernelTrap, a discussion forum for linux kernel development. They a have a system where you will be credited 80% of all AdSense revenue for threads you have started, given that you associate your AdSense id with […]

Haven’t seen this one before, it hit my hit my access logs today:
Nokia6820/2.0 (4.83) Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0 (compatible; Googlebot-Mobile/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)
Interesting to see that they picked a Nokia handset to emulate…

I have a couple of ideas for somewhat useful web/mobile based services that would leverage on existing services and their API’s (i.e. mashups - creating something out of one or more services using their API’s, and leveraging that as a new aggregate service with increased value). The problem with this, however, is how to bootstrap […]

Tags are a great way to categorize various things ranging from bookmarks to email. It’s no wonder that just about every new web based service implements tagging in some way, many with a social aspect (del.icio.us and flickr are probably the best examples). And every self respecting blogger tags their posts, so that they are […]
