Of the nineteen, yes 19, presentations I attended at this years Milia my favourite must have been the Mobility and Content: Entertainment Everywhere! Held in the Esterel on Thursday morning – this panel seemed to cover all the main emerging media issues with ease, not tied down to a specific theme they handled the revolution [...]

The conference presentations have from my perspective, been the usual mix of ‘heard-it-all-before’, occassional cool bit of a service demo, global convergence and very entertaining philosophical gazes into the future - emerging media.
The Internet and the future of TV plus The New Reality
The last presentation I was at at the end of Tuesday, was the [...]

Will try, against all the odds, to blog a little about Mip and Milia while I am on the ground in Cannes at the moment. I am already two days behind but I hope to give a feel of what is happening over here. (BTW: The pictures are grabs from my 3G mobile phone, even [...]

About time this happened - the world’s first download to own service has just sprung up (April launch) in the UK - of course. This is the true beginning of the decline of physical media and potentially the high street rental stores. Lovefilm and Universal pictures (who are ready to release its 6500 films into [...]

Now don’t worry this blog is not turning into somekind of mobile review site - but I am in a ‘mobile-converged-device’ mode at the moment, combined with ‘media journey’ ontology - a sad mix. But without getting hung up on convergent or divergent semantics, here is a device (I shall reveal in a moment) that [...]

Before I go onto the cross-media element of this post, a commercial lead in - Another week, another “the day tv (or something closely related) died” article. Ashley Vance of the register is the next person trying to get their name in the “I told you so” history books by trotting out the same old [...]

It has been quite a few days since my last post and was expecting to have a great deal to write about but there seems to be a bit of a lull in some of the end of 2005 developments. The exponential rise in mobile rich media, broadband TV and web 2.0 has stalled slightly. [...]

RealMedia and Microsoft have had their knuckles rapped once already and it seems that the normally tread-carefully Apple have started to upset a few folk with their ‘collaborative filtering’ methodologies via iTunes. The BBC article ” Snooping fears plague new iTunes” points out that Apple is watching you. Every time a viewer visits the iTunes [...]

A great article from Teckrati entitled “The Personal Internet Will Subsume Mobile Internet Assumptions” that talks about a new paradigm, that of the personalized internet, particularly from a mobile perspective. As we know mobile devices at the moment are the most personal in that they ‘live’ with you and contain most of your personal information [...]

Short post but very significant in terms of the evolution of personalization on the back of gadget penetration. Apple have trademarked the term “Mobile Me” - one can speculate as the Reuters article does that Apple are looking to launch a iPod/Phone hybrid or that perhaps the iBrand is now changing into something more about [...]

All this in the last week only - my head hurts trying to track it all! In case you haven’t noticed TV and video being made easily available for commercial download over the internet is continuing unabated. Since its early beginnings in the last quarter of last year things are really starting to accelerate, on [...]

Given I am travelling, doing the relative-thing and moving home over the next week or so this may be my last blog for the year – I hope not, but in case it is I thought I would finish on a few recent reports on the most significant thing to happen to media in [...]
