I just posted a long essay and video of Judy Estrin, former CTO of Cisco, on how the quick-buck, pump and dump mentality in the US is destroying innovation and resulting in lousy service (not to mention long term market share decline).Go to Muniwireless to read my post.

My goodness, what has Andy Abramson been doing while the Pajama Entrepreneur was away in Peru, trekking to Macchu Picchu — what else? Making VOIP calls on the Wi-Fi service of American Airlines. While I was away in the wilds of Peru without a laptop, mobile phone or any other way to communicate with the […]

One had giveth, the other taketh away. Delta Airlines announced it will be providing Wi-Fi service on all US domestic flights by the end of the summer. That’s good news. The bad news: expect service levels to decline on all US airlines as they penny-pinch their way to bankruptcy. I’ve read in the news that […]

I’ve been using the Nokia E71 for the past two weeks and I like it very much. It’s a slim, stylish smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard, which is necessary for writing emails. And it has Wi-Fi! The E71 is much faster than other Nokia smartphones I have used. It logs onto a Wi-Fi network more […]

When I travel, my laptop bag is usually bursting at the seams with all kinds of gadgets, power cords, peripherals and so on. I’d like to lighten the load but how? Well, why take a camera AND a mobile phone when you have a phone that takes great photos? That’s the Nokia N82, a stylish […]

I have been using the Nokia N78 here in Europe. I like this device very much because it is thin, has a 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS and a very good map application (Nokia Maps). I have been using Nokia maps in Berlin and Amsterdam. What’s cool is that the GPS function finds your location on […]

I just posted an article about the success of mobile virtual network operator, Blyk, which has signed up 100,000 members in less than a year. Compare this to the 170,000 subscribers signed up by failed MVNO, Helio, in the US which has been around since October 2005 and has wasted over $270 million of investor […]

Nokia has just released two E Series smartphones, the E71 (pictured above) and the E66. I prefer the E71 because it has a QWERTY keyboard. I’m terrible at typing out characters and symbols on a phone keypad. However, the E66 looks more stylish. Both support Microsoft Exchange (used in many corporations). They will be available […]

My friend, Salim Ismail, has posted a review of Maxroam, a service that allows you to cut down dramatically on your roaming charges when you travel abroad. I have yet to use it (although I have a Maxroam SIM card). Maxroam saved Salim a lot of money: $185 during a two-week trip.Read Salim’s review here:http://salimismail.com/?p=95

Make sure you read the fine print. In the case of T-Mobile Germany, you’ll be punished severely if you exceed their data limits. Most 3G operators will have the same restrictions, despite their marketing babble about “Internet Everywhere” and “Broadband on the Move” and most dishonest of all, “unlimited, flat-rate data!”Read more here:T-Mobile’s 3G iPhone […]

I have been writing about the coming increase in demand for Wi-Fi access from people walking around with iPhones, iPods, gaming devices and Wi-Fi enabled mobile phones. However, how many cities are gearing themselves up for this, especially for tourists and visiting business people?I wrote a post on Muniwireless about what cities can do to […]

The conventional wisdom is that Apple has only about 5 percent of the market for personal computers. It appears that if you break down that market two segments, the sub-$1000 and the $1000-plus, that Apple has a massive 66 percent of the market for expensive computers. That means people who have enough money spend, go […]
