Touch-screens changed the way we interact with computers and mobile devices.
Touch-screens also changed the frequency we (should) clean these devices...

Windows Mobile on the iPhone 3G

It was just a matter of time until someone would hack the iPhone, not to change the mobile carrier, but to run another OS on the iPhone.

In a Blog I saw today, Erik Kristiansen, shows his 'boot-camp' version for the iPhone.



It would be interesting to see how cross-OS capabilities would effect sales of phones hardware. Will iPhone be the best device to run Windows Mobile?

SDForum: Cool Technologies Driving Mobile Media

Next week (6:00 PM - 8:30 PM October 14, 2008) I plan to attend the SDForum to discuss mobile media.



This panel will focus on mobile and technology trends and what do these trends mean for media, how media companies are going mobile and what the next generation of devices and
content will look and feel like. What are the devices of the future?
What content will people expect to have and what will they use? What
new technologies and services are coming our way? Who cares and who's
investing now for the future?

Aurora: Adaptive Path/ Mozilla Labs concept browser

"...Aurora is a concept video presenting one possible future user experience for the Web, created by Adaptive Path as part of the Mozilla Labs concept browser series. Aurora explores new ways people could interact with the Web in the future based on projected technological trends and real-world scenarios..."

Looks very cool and intuitive at first, but I do have my concerns, especially in the areas of information overflow and cross generation UI.
It seems as the mobile experience is too similar to the desktop one. Squeezing all this date into a smaller screen will not be as effective.
As for older generation usage, I think the UI should be simplify more, including non-visual interaction, such s voice commands.

Notes from Momentum Growth Conference (3/...)

Notes from Momentum Growth Conference.

Ones to Watch


Leverage Software - Mike Walsh, CEO and co-founder



Moola.com - Arlen Ritchie, President and CEO



mShopper - David Gould, CEO



Multiply - David Hersh, VP of Business Development

6 minutes per presenter - too fast for me to Blog about at real time...
Interesting...
I may have another look into it later on.
Especially on Multiply. As the feedback from the panel clearly showed that they miss the value proposition of Multiply, except Martin Nyman (Best Buy) - who made some comments about multi-generation challenges.
