iPlayer Service Review
Monday, July 30th, 2007It took just under 12 hours to assign me a beta test account, but just before 7.30pm on Friday night last week, my iPlayer login details arrived. Being Friday night, I cracked open a beer and then sat down to watch Top Gear - on my computer.
The Experience - would I do it again?It was […]

iPlayer
Thursday, July 26th, 2007It’s not even a month since the last i launch, but tomorrow sees the launch of another service that could disrupt its industry to an even greater degree than Apple promises to do with mobile telecoms.

It is quite possible that this had nothing to do with my writing and everything to do with the strategy secrets […]

Mutton dressed as lamb
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007I hope you like the new look, not that RSS readers will notice much difference…
The look is a tribute to Apple and the iPhone. As I read about their launch it struck me how important their visuals are in their products and if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me. I was […]

More on the Digital Divide
Monday, July 2nd, 2007This article is a direct follow up to the piece that was posted last Friday on The Digital Divide. There were a couple of comments posted that warrant a detailed review and rather than try and squeeze that into a comment reply, I felt it would be worthwhile to create a new post for the […]
