Hmmm… Is it my imagination or are location services on iPhone 3G busted? I haven’t gotten a GPS fix yet. #

@sherylbreuker I’m entitled to my rationalizations, and I have rationally rationalized about all of my rationalizations. #
@kencamp I agree. Do you need some help convincing her? #

Squawk Box July 31

by alec on July 31, 2008

Summer is in full swing. News is in short supply, and people are on holiday! Still, with the assistance of James Body, Jeb Brilliant, and Ian Hood, we had a good discussion around a few short stories.

Nokia has announced that there will be no BlackBerry Connect support from Nokia in the future. BlackBerry is a competitor, they say! Why would they do that? Why do they continue to support Microsoft with Exchange? And is this such a good idea when they have such small share in the Enterprise mail market?

Or perhaps RIM had a hand in this decision. Hmmmm…

We also talked about Microsoft’s Mojave Experiment – the blind taste test of Windows Vista. Our conclusion — a publicity stunt.

And Google announced a VC fund. And it feels like 1999 all over again, except for the lack of VC money to back up these corporate funds.

And finally what about Phweet - the service that lets you make Click to Call calls from Twitter! James tried it, and had a problem, but the idea looks promising.
