I received the following from Nokia and wanted to pass it along to anyone interested in open source and mobile development. (Some of the links added by me.) Nokia invites all open source developers (Linux, C, C++, Python) for a fun filled Mobile Open Source Developer Day in San Francisco, organized alongside LinuxWorld held in [...]

What we carry and the art of delegation
Tuesday, October 23, 2007
Jan Chipchase conducts behavioral patterns research for Nokia, and TED has posted an excellent talk he gave earlier this year on his work on what we carry in our pockets and why delegation can be the solution for just about everything. I wish I’d had the chance to meet Jan while I was at Nokia. [...]
Dvorak advises Apple to dump iPhone
Wednesday, March 28, 2007
John C. Dvorak disagrees with me on the potential of iPhone. Dvorak makes a good point about the pace of innovation in the mobile industry which Apple would be very wise to note: These phones go in an out of style so fast that unless Apple has half a dozen variants in the pipeline, its [...]
Moto woes
Thursday, March 22, 2007
Motorola’s first quarter earnings aren’t looking good, and the market’s rewarding MOT with a big fat drop (stock closed down 6.62% for the day, at a new 52-week low). What happened? In a word, Razr.

Friday, February 2, 2007
Last July I wondered in writing about Q2 2006 NOK and MOT numbers: Is mobile handset design and marketing now a two horse race? As reported in this Chicago Tribune story on Q4 2006 results, the answer appears to be a big “Yes”. According to the Strategy Analytics numbers quoted by the Tribune: Nokia increased [...]

Thursday, January 18, 2007
Alan A. Reiter of Camera Phone Report and Thomas Landspurg of TomSoft both left thoughtful comments on my “WiFi is more important than HSDPA for early iPhone success” blog post from last week. Tom wrote: My main point would be that the two places where you’re most likely to have WiFi coverage (the home and [...]

There have been a lot of so-so and a few really great articles on iPhone in the week since it was launched. What follows are my favorite blog posts, articles, and videos covering iPhone in week one.

WiFi is more important than HSDPA for early iPhone success
Friday, January 12, 2007
Reuters is reporting that Nokia’s media head, Anssi Vanjoki, has described iPhone as “quite interesting” but said in effect that the lack of 3G will cripple it in the marketplace. Nokia, or at least Mr. Vanjoki, doesn’t get it. And a lot of other people are falling prey to this too. In a perfect device [...]
