Cambridge Cluster

I attended a Samsung Technology Event where it was said that the Internet and Mobile are converging even faster than forecast.  By 2010, 400million Internet enabled mobile devices will be shipped.  Around 70% of these will have Cambridge University technology at their heart with an ARM processor.  I wish I had won a Samsung Notebook at the end of the afternoon; they look really good.  I never was interested in the top prize in the draw of a very thin, 42″ LED flat screen with all the goodies - I am not a bad looser!

A blog post A Big Week for the Mobile Web by Fred Wilson supports this with everyone looking forward to the launch of the Droid.  People are moving to wi-fi as the mobile carriers are being overloaded giving slow download rates.  I guess if you do not have an iPhone then you will not appreciate the importance of good wi-fi.

Lots of great business opportunities in the mobile Internet space and you need a good business plan.

PS Met some love ladies this afternoon picking sloes to make sloe gin.  Great crop this year so I am told.

PPS Wish they had wanted the name Yomp for the new phone.  I am sure that I would have done a deal…..  Maybe the next phone in this space!
