      Here's a video I shot during the BlackBerry World party at Universal Studios featuring Pacemaker, the DJ Console for the BlackBerry PlayBook, live in action. The music you hear is all being mixed live via the Pacemaker app. Very smart. More information at www.pacemaker.net.

    • MWC 2012: Rob Jonas of InMobi

      I managed to get a bit of time with Rob Jonas, top man in Europe at mobile ad network, InMobi. Rob brought me up to date with InMobi's rather impressive performance and gave me some perspective on the year ahead.

    • Emporia Telecom: Upcoming Service Features

      In episode 10 of the Emporia Telecom video series, we meet the company's Director of Services & Innovation, Michael Rabenstein. Before we filmed this episode, I was talking to Michael about Emporia's philosophy of handset services -- navigation, for example. Michael explained that although there is certainly a use-case for navigation (e.g. Tom-Tom style sat-nav functionality), Emporia's key markets are much more likely to be in need of "orientation". I was rather fascinated by this perspective...

      In this video I asked Ian to give us an overview of the opportunity for mobile operators with the audience that Emporia is serving. I strongly recommend watching this one especially if you're working in the propositions or marketing departments at an operator group. I'd very much appreciate your perspective, particularly over the loyalty issue: As Ian rightly points out, get it right with the standard Emporia demographic and the chances are you've got a customer for 10 or 20 years.

    • Emporia Telecom: Why the world needs accessible ...

      In episode 8 of the Emporia Telecom video series, we get down to business with Ian Hosking, Senior Research Associate at the Engineering Design Centre, University of Cambridge. I asked Ian to outline the reasoning behind accessible devices. Why can't we just given every old person and anyone with a slight impairment an Apple iPhone and be done with it? Surely Apple's iPhone is really easy to use, right? Not quite. In fact there's a whole raft of reasons as to why this is a rather limited viewp...

    • Emporia Telecom: The emergency service button

      In episode 7 of the Emporia Telecom video series, Ian Hosking, Senior Research Associate at the Engineering Design Centre, University of Cambridge, explains how the emergency button works on Emporia handsets. The key issue here is that it's not just a serial dialler -- that's no use if your primary contact's voicemail answers. What's the solution? Ian explains in this video.

    • Emporia Telecom: Overview of the Elegance handset

      It's time for episode 6 of the Emporia Telecom video series. Ian Hosking, Senior Research Associate at the Engineering Design Centre, University of Cambridge, is back! In this episode, I asked Ian to give us an overview of Emporia's Elegance handset from the point of view of accessibility. If you haven't looked closely at Emporia's devices or seen examples of easy-to-use devices, I recommend having a look at this one.

      In episode 3 of our Emporia Telecom series, we talk to Ian Hosking, Senior Research Associate at the Engineering Design Centre, University of Cambridge. Ian works regularly with Emporia to help ensure their products and services adopt all the principles of Inclusive Design. This is a design philosophy that, as Ian describes, many mobile manufacturers would do well to examine. In this video he highlights just how important it is to think carefully about the end-users of mobile phones -- an area...
