in Apple Launches… a Phone. Is anyone else yawning? on The Marketing Technology Blog
...in hindsight, would you revise this post ;) ?

Looks as though the iPhone did have a certain impact, and it has certainly changed my useage pattern of the internet.

Other phones I owned before were technically able to perform these functions, but they were cumbersome, complicated and slow.

Douglas Karr I'm not sure, Foo. The market share and popularity aren't a surprise given the cult of Apple. The functionality is a step up, a display with better touch response, a better resolution... as well as an app store (not original). I think they raised the bar for sure - but I'm still not seeing much beyond the 'cool' factor.

On the bad side, the iPhone still gets poor marks for tactile usability (you have to look at it to use it, usually with two hands) and there's been several hiccups - including the kill switch, the disabled tethering (using it as an Internet conn for your laptop), the reduced quality under 3g, and more.

Coming down the pipe is what's more interesting - the iPhone going head to head with portable gaming consoles. That may be a market changer!

Android is the Mobile OS that has my eyes on it. An open source phone that can run on virtually any hardware without limitations and an open Application store may be a huge leap beyond the iPhone.

in Domain Changed to Marketingtechblog.com on The Marketing Technology Blog
Would be great if you could make a post about how you did the transfer, i.e. how did you move your Wordpress installation, how to do the redirect, any other tips you learnt along the way.

in Sometimes You Can’t Prepare Enough on The Marketing Technology Blog
Loved it, it is all too often that the Big Pretenders make others believe that they can do the job, but in the end they don't...

This is one of the things I love about your blog, that you *sometimes* stray away from the core themes.

Thanks, Douglas.

This finally convinced me to do at least the first step.
In your Terms of Service there are two small spelling mistakes. You might also want to include two more things:

in iMac: Could The Concept Become Reality? on NazJam Tech Blog
Or it could be used to activate the users. When you have been sitting in front of the screen for too long, that large screen turns off for a few moments, and you have to run to the other side of the screen.

I am kidding.

in A Blu-Ray Player for $17000! Does it Make Any Sense? Have Your Say… on NazJam Tech Blog
Am yet to be convinced that BluRay will really catch on.

Hmm.. If you are worried about vibrations, couldnt you just copy the film to a harddisk and play it from there?

I would spend that money on the display. Or a car.
