ExclusiveLast week at The Fonecast: 23rd April 2012

Mark Bridge writes:

We’ve had a few sets of quarterly results in the past week. Let me summarise as best I can.

Qualcomm: doing very well, thank you.
Microsoft: pretty decent, although no-one’s talking much about phones.
Intel: not as good as before, although better than expected.
Nokia: sorry, we’ve lost a billion Euro. Well, we did warn you...

“You're gonna need a bigger boat”. The words of Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody spots the shark in the film Jaws.

37 years later and O2 UK CEO Ronan Dunne is facing another all-devouring monster... but this is no aquatic predator. It’s in the air - and it’s invisible.

ExclusiveTwitter promises that it will only use patents defensively

Music is a fundamental part of our lives, yet the vinyl record and the CD are increasingly formats of the past. The rise of digital music has been exponential and mobile is firmly part of that picture.

So where is this all going... and how on earth do you make any money from it?

Those are just a couple of the questions addressed in this panel discussion, which was recorded in Barcelona as part of Heroes of the Mobile Fringe 2013.

The event was chaired by musician and mobile specialist Oisin Lunny with contributions from Vincent Roger of Mobibase, Ohad Sheffer of Play My Tone, Kim de Ruiter of Cheil and Alyssa Tisne of 7digital.
