I recently rented Wanted (on iTunes), and checked out the film on my iPhone3G. And I have to say, I really enjoyed it! Despite the slightly daft bit with the “loom of faith”, otherwise the film was an enjoyable pseudo-sci-fi romp, with for a change, a complete underdog as the main character.
I also checked out the VERY enjoyable Vantage Point (again from iTunes) – a twisty-winder of a plot, mixed with some great performances meant a really nice film/set of mini-stories, that wrapped very neatly at the end.
My point though: are these contenders for best film of the year on a Mobile? OK I watched both of mine from iTunes, but yours may have come from other services – at any rate, you seen a better film on your Moby this year?
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.
