Walk a mile with my mobile.

Have just been presented with a Google Now card tracking monthly walking and biking activity.

No idea if this is impressive or not. Quarterly and annual summary cards would be and would tell me.

This simple example of automated sensor data raises questions on the long term viability of peripheral wearables.

Sir, you can do better than this with your mobile ads.

It is unbecoming for a brand such as yours.

Eager to get BBM on your Android? Confused about why you haven't read any press about its launch?

Check out this very credible looking Play Store listing and see if you can spot the tip off that this is a Trojan Horse.

Facebook's latest Android update brings a persistent notification bar.

Since I'm not a FB power user by any stretch, I'm not seeing the value in this considering Android's already solid push notifications.

Purely a real estate play? Seeding for more advanced persistent features? A home away from Home?

Digiday’s "Cloudy View On Viewability" article states that the ad industry seems to be turning its head to the fact it pays (and always has) for ad impressions that never get seen (ie if a user doesn’t scroll down the page to see the ad).  The reality is, users are migrating from desktop browsers to mobile browsers, and I believe mobile ad tags (ie Google’s DFP Mobile) only render ads that come into the viewport, so the problem may be in the process of fixing itself.

So many devices. So many screen sizes. Brands, not loving it.
