“Microsoft sold more than 18 million Windows Mobile software licenses in its...”
–  the senior vice president in charge of the business acknowledged this afternoon. Microsoft misses Windows Mobile 20 million unit target Interesting indeed. 18 million is a whack - especially when Apple is crowing on about it’s 1 million 3G phones at the launch.

Not so Cuil
by Steve Mathew “Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.” This is a quote from their Info page When Cuil (pronounced Coo-il) launched a few days ago, about a dozen of my friends and associates sent me a link and said “Check it out”. I did. In summary, I think Cuil - isn’t. First search...

Dot .Me Too
by Steve Mathew With some naïve optimism, I waited eagerly to register a whole bunch of .ME domains as soon as the registration date arrived. I was thinking of owning some real-estate like help.me or pleasehelp.me or even dontbother.me – not to mention stopcalling.me I imagined that only a few fringe domainers would be interested in this space – it was a rather obscure TLD. But very marketable –...

iPhone Fanboy and Nokia Stats
OK, so I am a self confessed iPhone 3G fanboy, and as soon as they arrive here in SA I am getting one. But a few days ago I blogged about the “staggering” 1 million 3G iPhones sold in the first 3 days. Admittedly I was amazed by the number. It’s a big number.

Has social networking killed email?
by Steve Mathew Remember the song that MTV launched their network? Video killed the radio star. I am getting that feeling again. This time it’s social networking that’s choking off email. It’s for different reasons of course. You see email is too “open”. Anyone can email me. Have addy, send message. Bam, and my inbox it full of spam, and messages from people I...
