What do Elton and the UFC have in common? Probably not that much, apart from the fact that they are both appearing at The O2!
Elton! Elton! Elton!
Elton is appearing (apart from the Red Piano tour) with his New Years’ Party, which I should imagine will be a seriously good spectacle. Grab some champers, a hamper, before get pampered, and then head on over on New Years Eve to hear Elton through speakers which are seriously ampered (up)!
UFC......!
On the flipside, the UFC is coming to The O2 in February next – and tickets are already on Pre-sale! The bone-crunching (literally) antics of some seriously angry guys will be on show in The Octagon – another show I wouldn’t mind a ticket for!
Both good shows, and both worth attending, in my eyes. If you fancy some Elton, check out The O2 page here.
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
