A show of antennas

July 23, 2010

Many people have asked us about the iPhone antenna issue. To be clear, we are not engineers so a scientific perspective we could not provide. However, we have some useful information on the bigger issue in the industry that we thought would be useful for our clients to read about. Here are a few things we found that you might also like to know. [1] Apple published a fantastic photo essay on a broad range of phones currently on the market with similar, or the same, issues. You can read that here. They very clearly outline the various phones,

Mobile retail sales to soar

July 13, 2010

As the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices continue their evolution forward we are now starting to what that means to a variety of folks. As we recently saw mobile traffic is taking off. This is no longer in question. More and more of our clients are reporting large spikes in iPad traffic to their web sites. While not enough yet to make everyone take action, the smart ones have moved past head scratching and onto planning. Why? Metrics. ABI Research has posted recently that an estimated $2.2 billion in hard goods will be purchased from a mobile device by

Well, at least Blackberry seems to be out

July 2, 2010

In a world where we have to constantly decide paper or plastic, soup or salad, and which platform to bet the farm on (for the time being anyway) it is nice to know some things just take care of themselves. Such is the case with the platforms for mobile. While all of us have our favorites it is nice to know we now have proof. Mashable did not give me permission to use these images but since I am a) giving them credit and b) linking to their site’s article, I am hoping they take pity on me should

Rumor mill gets going again

June 30, 2010

So the 2010 version of an omnipresent rumor has officially surfaced. There are apparently two, yes two, Verizon folks out there who are “close to source” that state Verizon will start selling iPhones in January of 2011. Putting aside momentarily the fact that we have heard this rumor countless times in the past, I must say, if it is in fact a reality, this is good news all around. Let’s assume for argument’s sake that it is real. This would open up an almost unimaginable market for Apple as well as, and this is my personal favorite, provide us

New iPhone – lefties beware

June 24, 2010

Well some things are just too funny. Funny for everyone who is not affected that is. If we had this problem this post would likely have a different tone to it. As it turns out the new iPhone is having a few difficulties it would seem. A few are minor like screen discoloration, etc. However, a few are not. For those of you reading this who are not familiar with the new phone there is a metal antenna band around the phone that saves space by making the case an antenna. I suppose the QC team at Apple is

IBM Watson

June 22, 2010

While it is duly noted that this blog is expressly about iPhone and iPad, well, I just don’t care on this one. As with every rule, rules must occasionally be broken for the benefit of all involved. This is one of those times. In my humble opinion there have been a handful of times in my life that left me with only one thought, “this changes everything”. Yes, the day I first saw an iPhone was one of those but this, dare I say it, may just be bigger. IBM has traversed the convoluted seas of artificial intelligence and

Yet another reason to despise AT&T

June 20, 2010

I will leave it at this… Was it a surprise that the iPhone was coming out when it did? Was it unexpected that an unusual amount of people might say be on their server for the day? Is this the first time we have rolled out a new phone? Guys, come on. Seriously, let’s get it together already.
