Through Michael Mace’s ever-entertaining site, I found another blog I’ve been enjoying recently, Open IT Strategies by James West. He recently did a post on marketing guru-type-person Seth Godin’s challenge to pundits and analysts to predict just how well the iPhone’s going to sell. West says 1.5 million in 2007, and I thought it might [...]

Well, I couldn’t resist it and my final prediction is going to be about the iPhone – though it would be kinda cheating to just say that it’s just going to be launched. I’ve been thinking about it a lot over the last few weeks and quite honestly, I don’t think this is going to [...]

Here’s my penultimate burst of predictions for this year – don’t forget to add yours in a comment or link from your own blog.   Prediction 8 – Mobile Payments   Carlo has already given his take on mobile payments next year and to a large extent I agree with him that the future probably lies with [...]

As Russell promised, here are my predictions for 2007 following my stellar performance last year. You get all ten of mine in one go, though. Be sure to add your own predictions, or link to them elsewhere, in the comments. 1. Lots of mobile TV hype, but little in the way of actual success. CES [...]

A couple of quick ones today, as we continue to look at what‚Äôs going to happen this year, in my humble opinion. Prediction 5 ‚Äì European Data Tariffs The Mary Elizabeth Mapes Dodge’s¬†colloquial little fella has taken his finger out of the dyke and flat rate data packages have started to trickle into the marketplace [...]

So, let’s continue with those predictions I started yesterday. Prediction 3 – Bluetooth Unleashed I’ve been pointing out for¬†the last three years¬†that Bluetooth filesharing is rampant on phones, particularly among kids. Late last year, we got some “official” evidence to that effect, with a claimed 29% of young kids sharing content through the back door. [...]

Now we’re all back to work, it’s about time for MobHappy’s 2007 Predictions. While they’re a bit of fun, Carlo and I have a pretty formidable record in this game, so if you’re interested in the mobile space, they’re worth a read. And if you’re not interested, why on earth are you reading this? Carlo [...]

Following Russell’s lead, I thought I’d review my predictions for 2006 that I made at the end of last year. Ditto to his comment about the confusing numbering, we each did 10 out of 20, in no real order, and click through the links for the original posts detailing some of my original shots. Predictions [...]

No, I’m not going to predict what’s going to happen this year with the benefit of hindsight. But about this time last year Carlo and I predicted what would happen in 2006, so I thought it would be amusing to review what we thought. Were we clever bunnies or the class dunces? Here’s what I [...]
