Sometime ago I blogged about using well known web sites with mobile phones. Today popped into my mind to check out how well Finnish mobile sites has been done and how well them perform on mobile devices.Lazy bast.. eh, guy as I am, I used simple one page test only (offered by ready.mobi) and on sites which first came out from my hat (well, I don't wear a hat but I believe you know what I mean).

At the end of the January comScore released interesting report: Social Networking Services are driving the growth of Mobile Internet in Europe.This is many ways interesting as it tells that mobile phone users are not just consuming and using one-way published content, like news, but also using their mobile phones to communicate and participate.Many Social Networking sites, like Facebook, has

IUP, An international network of indenpendent usability companies, conducted recently a study on the usablity of the mobile services. The group has members in few countries, namely Finland, Italy, Spain, UK, France, China and Germany, and the findings are somewhat interesting stuff to read and to learn.According to the study, it looks like the mobile Internet usage is finally becoming accepted by

I just heard an interesting rumour concerning mobile operator billing services: It looks like a Finnish mobile operator will enable (mobile Internet) content providers to charge for their content from users using their GPRS/3G Internet access point (not WAP Access Point). I have been talking with the operators' technical personnel for quite some time already about the availability of such a

When companies are thinking to have somekind of presence on mobile internet, I mean having a mobile site, they usually think that as a way to share information, news and other content as an additional "media channel".Too often it just stays this way, yet another channel to publish information for those who perhaps find it and are interested. It should not stay this way as next logical, and

Most of the major internet sites cannot be used with mobile phones! This was a conclusion of resent research done by english company Bango. Alarming result, especially because by IDC there will be by the end of this year 1,3 billion people using internet services via their mobile phones. Or, at least willing and trying to use but can they...In this perspective it is praiseworthy how some

Tourists and travelers do carry nowadays mobile phones all the time with them, but are not using them only for calls and sending text messages. More and more, because of faster mobile phone networks, they are using mobile phones for chatting, checking emails and using other network based services, like searching for information. And use most likely will increase, especially here in Europe as

Some modern mobile phones have the capability of receiving Mobile TV signal (DVB-H, to be exact). In Finland, Digita Oy launched DVB-H mobile TV network rather recently and the network covers nowadays something like 40% of the Finnish population. Some of the Finnish media houses are broadcasting their (regular) TV and radio-programmes to DVB-H network. Would all this mean that people are going to

Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) just launched mobile versions of their net radio services. Twinapex delivered YLE the system to convert those net radio channels to mobile phone-friendly format. Before, YLE had been broadcasting its radio channels live to the Internet users only in Windows Media format. The mobile radio offers the same content, but the format is compatible with the 3G mobile

It looks like Motorola is to focus on Android and Windows Mobile in the future (see the story on Financial Times). I understand that this is double-or-nothing-kind of a decision for Motorola; their mobile sales have been going down so rapidly that they HAVE to do something if they want to stay alive.Is this a good move from Motorola?Personally, I think Google's Android may as well be a huge

Recent research done by IBM Institute reveals quite interesting facts about the use of mobile phones and network based services. IBM interviewed 600 people in USA, UK and China and more than half of them were willing to use internet (services) via their mobile phones. It was seen also that in some cases, especially in China, that first time people used internet, they used that via their mobile

Many people think that the thing about the mobile services is the fact that they are mobile. As you carry your mobile phone always, you can access the service from pretty much everywhere you are. Your PC does not go in your pocket, but stays at home or at your office, so the Internet stays there.Sure. Mobile services have the advantage of being accessible nearly everywhere compared to the good

This blog is all about the mobile Internet. I just thought that it might be a good idea to share my thoughts and views on this topic, as I happen to work in this Industry. We at Twinapexdevelop mobile Internet sites for our clientele, whom are mostly using our services to publish their content to mobile users. Some of them do actually make money on the content itself (premium content), others use
