Spandau Ballet. Nice.
If like me you are an eighties child, then you’ll be aware of the pop sensations that were A-Ha and Spandau Ballet – formative in many peoples’ lives who are 30 and over ….!
A-Ha arrived on the pop radar with such classics as “Take On Me” and “The Sun Always Shines On TV” – and delivered some great (for the time) videos! Spandau Ballet, well, they had some good songs too
So if you want to see them both, you should take yourself to The O2 – tickets will soon be available – if you are an O2 sub, then you can get priority tickets right now, which is wicked – personally I would LOVE to see A-Ha again (coming on the 4th Nov), and the Spandau could well be a good night out too (coming 20th Oct) – rock on Tony Hadley!
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.
