15:53 @Mark_Mulligan I don’t count? Still listening to an album I bought on iTunes 12 days ago on Spotify, as not had time to sync my iPhone #

15:56 Finally a useful Android widget! New version of Android Spotify is way ahead of iPhone port: better discovery UI & a homescreen widget #

16:44 . @joshuatopolsky iPod. Started the real Apple turnaround, massively influential industrial design & laid the foundations for iPhone #

16:46 . @joshuatopolsky And, I say this as a mobile analyst (ie I should choose a mobile phone as most influential device of the decade) #

16:47 Oh no, yet another inbox RT @psmith: replying to DMs has become the new email – sorry if I’ve not got back to you! #

11:54 .@jonprice Try both? It basically makes a legally unlocked iPhone useless for international travel if not fixable! V interested on outcome! #

11:55 For US readers, Tesco is nearest UK-equivalent to Wallmart. Operates a large MVNO which now stocks iPhones. #

11:56 In UK, iPhone is v v widely available (Vodafone, Orange, O2, Tesco Mobile). Only 3, T-Mobile & VirginMedia without. #

11:59 The main remaining issue stopping iPhone’s domination of developed markets will be price. Apple has the power to fix it #

12:02 Threat = Intent x Capability. With iPhone, Apple has the capability to dominate. Does Apple have a mass market intent, like iPod? #

21:21 Terrific: signal failure on Pic Tube line. iPhone app says all fine. Rubbish data in, rubbish out #

21:25 .@jonprice irony is that jailbroken iPhones unlocked with ultrasn0w don’t have the issue. I’m v interested if your experience is common #

21:29 @davedevereux unlikely anytime soon, at least in that form: Google voice benefits from the different charging structure in US telecoms #

15:21 Orange France to display eco rating for all phone handsets bit.ly/82MihE Why just France? Same phones on sale at Orange UK & Spain #

15:21 Ahah, CO2 cost from transportation will be different for same Orange mobile phone sold in UK vs France vs Spain #

15:42 . @mojosd @dmavrakis key part of ON that’s interesting:- ‘ON delivers even if none of your contacts are using it’ Something V360 claims…. #

15:45 . @schmooth Broadband defns change all the time. In UK superfast means > circa 30Mbps download. Defn will move to 1000Mbps in time #

15:50 Reflecting on closure of Nokia UK flagship shop. Must be 20 phone shops within 10m walk making £££s selling pre-pay & contract with subsidy #

15:52 So why didn’t Nokia give half its shelf space to phones with operator subsidy? Could have made cash and showcased the brand #

15:55 . @BenedictEvans Bit late now! I last checked 10 days ago and unsubsidised Nokia’s were everywhere #

19:56 .@jonprice You mean if you unlock an iPhone legally? What does support say? Bit of a bug if so or ‘feature’ #

19:57 iPhone tip: if you unlock, don’t switch on flight mode. puts you in emergency call only mode, requiring re-connect to iTunes. /via @jonprice #

09:21 Amazing that with so v many profitable mobile phone shops in UK all selling Nokias, that Nokia unable to succeed with its own shop #

09:23 Difference: Other phone shops focus on selling Nokia phones with operator subsidy, Nokia shop sells at full retail price #

09:23 RT @ew4n Nokia shuttering London flagship store j.mp/8V4idH also via @Wrekka #

14:43 . @GJCAG When all phones become smart, there are no ’smartphones’ anymore, just phones #

14:50 . @dmavrakis If mobile telecoms operators are unable to do social networking, long term: they’re no longer in the communications business #

15:05 . @dmavrakis Risk with a "service enabler" strategy is that an operator becomes a mere *enhanced* bit pipe, neither in communications or out #

15:06 . @dmavrakis Enabler for "preferred social networks" is a another way of saying gated garden, not really embracing Internet communication #

15:31 . @dmavrakis To quote Engadget podcast: "Build the best and link the rest" for operators with social media , *or* focus on access #

15:33 . @dmavrakis But yes, twitter not the ideal medium for some conversations. Is that sacrilege for us to say here?!!!! #

15:34 . @JNathan Yes, and Android & Blackberry rely heavily on Java. There is no good smartphone definition, but all phones are becoming smart #

08:48 . @bryanrieger Until Nokia re-gains market & mind share & in the US many US net co’s will not prioritise building for Nokia phones #

09:43 Despite the hype around mobile apps, mobile websites matter as much, see the new twitter mobile website bit.ly/8nsCn1 #

09:44 Far too many mobile apps assume there’s always a net connection, there isn’t. New Telegraph app gets this & adds great offline mode #

09:45 Key reasons to build a mobile website: reach, reach, reach and speed of build #

09:46 Key reasons to build a mobile app: Device integration, full offline support, access to strong app distribution channels & pay biz model #

09:48 . @bryanrieger But for a US internet brand: very few Nokia smartphones in US; lack of standardisation increases testing cost; result #

09:49 . @bryanrieger Lack of US Internet co support for Nokia phones could undermine Nokia’s entire services & mobile internet strategy #

09:52 @schmooth Reuters News Pro? Updates for me on 3G -> do you have "optimise for offline" as ‘on’ in settings? (see main phone settings) #
