Relative Size of Geosocial Universe
Some surprises here! Skype at 590 million, sheesh! And Yahoo mail - so high too, why? Surely not because it’s better than GMail? Maybe just because it arrived earlier. Same as Hotmail.
Few others I’d like to have seen there, like, Plaxo, Orkut. Are they still relevant?

Apple’s new power-consumption friendly battery charger
“After your battery charge cycle is complete, the Apple Battery Charger reduces its power intake to 30 milliwatts — that’s more than 10 times better than the industry average.”
Now that’s neat. Cell phone chargers could learn from this! With billions of mobile phones in user globally, that’s one heck of a potential energy saving.

“Consumers didn’t ask for tablets” - Forrester Research
When I read a piece of “research” like this from the so-called experts (eg Gartner, Forrester, and the like) I am just reminded how disconnected these research houses are from reality.
They remind me of academics telling business people just “how things are in business”…
So back to this article. They’re saying it’s impossible for Apple to sell any more than a total of 3.5 million iPads because, “consumers didn’t ask for tablets”. Seriously. Did we ask for iPhones? Or iPods? Or iAnything? Anyway because we didn’t ask for such new tech innovations, somehow magically we just won’t buy them. Hello?! What planet are you “researchers” on?
Luckily Apple or Google or even Microsoft for that matter are probably not listening too carefully to your predictions. Especially Apple, since they have already sold 3 million iPads in the last 80 days. Yep Forrester, only 500,000 more will be sold for the rest of the year. Oh wait, you probably didn’t tell us consumers not to buy them.

OExchange is going to make sharing easier on the web
This new piece of internet plumbing has just got the nod from almost all of the large players. I am a bit surprised it hasn’t had more coverage - but then again it’s a bit geeky and not really big time consumer friendly. Still, I predict this is going to be as significant as OAuth… what? Google it.

This why I like Smartphones
In case you haven’t seen it, the iPhone app store allows you to download thousands of apps. Some free, some paid for. I have dozens of apps installed! Some for fun, some for tracking my running, some for business or productivity.
Almost daily I have the ritual of hitting the updates button to check which of my apps have updates. Today 10 of my apps got improvements - either bugs fixed or new features.
Imagine you bought a car with 30 major features. Imagine then installing 20 new features to make it better. Imagine every month you get updates to your car that make it handle better, safer, more comfortable, improve it’s fuel efficiency and so on? Imagine after a year of owning your car it’s now so much better than when you bought it, and it’s totally customised to your exacting needs?
Well, owning a smartphone is like that.

So, this is the geeks mag. Now without trees involved.
Only problem is the 500meg download each month. That’s half a gig folks. Never mind the download cost and time, what about the “disk” space each edition will take up on my iPad!? It’s just too big to make it a viable option each month, methinks. Plan B?
