I know, I know. This is old - in internet time - but didn't know this existed. Interesting how information collected on different devices can be used interchangeably.

What is most interesting to me about this is the potential for storytelling - think of it like a play where the first act is inside a mobile banner, the second act is in a web banner and the third act is served via Netflix video ad.

the millennials are changing the way people think about watching tv. the big screen is on but we are on another device. even without the big screen we are watching more and more television on mobile devices.

I think the headline of this article is a good way to put it. Is it true? I would say probably so. The article avoids committing to too many opinions - which screen are people really paying attention to? Who knows? It's a legitimate question.

This isn't really what the article was about, but I love branded content stuff like this when it's done thoughtfully: "A recent example is Chipotle, which recently launched an original Hulu series on factory farming to promote their brand beliefs."

The whole internet dating thing seems weird to me, and the latest thing has been bringing it to mobile devices with apps like tinder. Regardless of opinions on online dating....this app is huge right now. Online dating is a huge trend and more and more people are finding partners through it. Maybe online apps is just the next evolution to that.

Article outlines rumors that Amazon may finally be entering into smartphone market with the intention of taking on other mobiles companies as it did in the tablet market with the Kindle Fire (to limited success). The device may seek to stand out by using 3D technology. Rumored introduction in June.

Amazon is an amazing company, but this seems like it's out of their wheelhouse.

New system can identify you by how you interact within your device's interface.

A new set of applications are turning touch devices into a mobile suite of creative tools that empowers artists.

Supercharge your devices in less than a minute.

Motorcycle tracking device by Scorpio safeguards prized possessions.

Blackphone, an Android device, running a special privacy-boosted version of the software called PrivatOS, aims to restore some of the balance - it also offers encrypted texts and emails, and built-in resistance against malicious software.

Media is and will continue to be seen on a huge array of devices and locations and in different ways. Here are a few predictions on where this is going. Not really predictions because I think most people are already aware of this and know that this is where it is all moving to.

Now wishing I had a Samsung. Kind of.

Article is about yet another court case in which Apple is suing Samsung for copyright infringement. Samsung has already paid Apple $930 million in damages for other infringement cases, and Apple has a strong case for even more. This case and similar ones have implications upon Samsung's ability to compete with Apple for mobile market share.

A great idea, but it seems so difficult to put into play - instead of just sharing one's contact information, one must dial a specific number and also already have the other person's phone number, to receive their additional contact info. While ideally this may be a great way to share information without having said information saved in a database, it seems waaay too difficult to use in actuality, when there are apps out there that do this quickly and efficiently.

Agreed - they identified a clear problem to solve but I'm not sure this is a solution that will take hold.

This e-reading app, is now available for both iPhone and Android users. It is a very efficient way to get children to read, especially now that libraries are becoming an odd commodity. It is a paid app, with a wide road of expansion ahead, since user friendly learning/educational apps for children are few and far between.

Some of the stuff we talked about last week re: Connected Devices / Internet of Things / Digital Sixth Sense can be seen in action here. Right now it's just fringe cases, but expect to see a lot of this in maybe 5 years.

T-mobile takes a game available on some of their devices and brings it the real world. I really like these types of campaigns. Partly because I would love to wander into one of these events because they seem really funny and just might work in advertising too.

Maybe old news to designers, but for me and I'm sure other non-designers, the thought process behind something as small, but as important as images that respond and fit to the device is one of those things that I never thought of, but of course have noticed when looking at web sites.
