It is what remains of the town of best of Manitoba. OK, not really, but I spend much of the week Winnipeg last, in a series of meetings well-number with three other Nations Mobile publishers. (From left to right is Rene Ritchie of IYou, myself, Dan Rubino of WPCentral and ol ' CrackBerry Kevin himself).
Basically, we spent the week draw our ongoing takeover of the world. We are in this for the long term, and we have some great plans for the rest of this year, in 2013 and beyond.
But we also have fun stuff in the short term, we are working on. You've already seen a few to put into action, with our emphasis on accessories. And you'll see a few more this week with new features.
And now, a few other thoughts...
Call me crazy (among others), but I have absolutely no desire to watch the Olympics on a phone. A tablet, perhaps. But large televisions were intended for the sport. (Or vice versa).
Oh, and NBC, you killed me.
"" If you thought Forbes blog post stating that Apple without Steve Jobs"has all the appeal of Dell," that Apple was on the far side of the ridicule, here's a one another that you will love.
Forbes blogger Adrian Kingsley-Hughes CITES British Telecom in a piece of EETimes on how one-third of the 1 000 Android app that BT has taken a blow of eye to the so-called have malicious software. The title of Forbes forwards issues to a worrisome "BT: almost all Android device compromise with"Some Kind Of Malware", worry that the second half of this quote in the EETimes reads"Although often it is not known if this code is active or what he does.""
All titles are difficult. Lord knows I have blown more on my part, having been their writing for a decade now, but it is just wrong. Kingsley-Hughes correctly suspect that the definition vague "malware" leaves large enough holes in this story, but the damage has already been done.
That a journalist and analyst of technology (really?) that EETimes room said he found "malware" in an app of Google on the Galaxy S III - app is not named, nor the nature of the "malware" - should be a fairly large red flag, too. I am not too concerned Android here. I cannot say the same for the State of the coverage of it. And it seems that many of you agreed.
It was interesting to see the process of development of several Android Twitter apps. Carbon awaited for Android should release a day now. Since a few weeks we had an official update on the outputs and the developer gave to term this weekend that things fell a bit. Carbon has been in testing alpha closed for some time now.
During this time, apps like Boid and TweetLanes - two very respectable Android Twitter client in their own rights - were offered to the public, but are very current work. Check the flow of the Boid or TweetLanes Twitter and you'll get updates on the progress made, apparently hour by hour.
It is an interesting dichotomy in developer PR strategies, an open dialog box highlighting upcoming fixed and features against a lower (I would go from say less spammy) interaction, with a complete version soon abandon. Course, carbon yet publicly available, so we not talking enough apples to apples here.
There is not a way of doing things here. And it should not be. It has been interesting to watch.
Many of the details have released these days in advance of the statement of this week between Apple and Samsung on something that resembles something else or something...
Answer me this: that you don't assume is more important to Samsung - modify a strange element here and there, or have phones blocked by an injunction?
There is certainly a point to fight against all this patent nonsense. But at the end of the day, Samsung (and HTC and Motorola, LG and ZTE and everyone) sells mobile phones. Period. Delete proactively on the device search sucks. But it absorbs less headlines announcing that the sexiest phone in the world has been banned and way less that he made on the store shelves.
You can keep selling em. We will keep wrote to their subject. And allow lawyers to discover all their crap.
And I really hate not referring to patents - I'd love to talk about phones - but to give this piece of Groklaw a reading.
TTFN. Many good things come this week.
