ExclusiveYahoo! and Ovi, Nokia and Microsoft

Mark Bridge writes:

With all the excitement about the partnership between Nokia and Microsoft, it's easy to forget another partnership between a major online brand and the Finnish mobile giant.

Exactly a year ago, Yahoo! and Nokia announced a worldwide strategic alliance that would see Nokia providing Yahoo!'s maps and navigation services under the Ovi brand, while Yahoo! would power Nokia's Ovi Mail and Ovi Chat services. The two companies would also work on sharing log-in details across Yahoo! and Ovi services.

ExclusiveIt's not a mobile wallet. It's just a phone.

Mark Bridge writes:

Don't get me wrong. I'm excited about the idea of mobile payments. But I think the Quick Tap launch and all this talk of a 'mobile wallet' is a little overhyped. And here are the three main reasons why.

ExclusiveHow I built my own mobile wallet

Mark Bridge writes:

Orange Quick Tap is official. You can buy a Samsung Tocco Lite-a-like, add the details of a participating card provider and Bob's your uncle.

Except I've already got a phone. And a credit card that's not from Barclays. So what can I do?

For those that don't regularly watch the BBC News Channel at 5pm here's a rather hasty recording of an interview with our very own Mark Bridge concerning "Quick Tap"; a rather underwhelming new mobile payment product from Orange and Barclaycard.

Instead of producing a regular mobile industry news podcast this week, we're asking for a favour.

You see, we don't really know much about our listeners - and that doesn't make it easy for us to attract the sponsorship that keeps our programmes free for you to download.

Every week we produce our podcast of news and opinion for the UK mobile phone industry - and every week we give it away on our own web site, on iTunes and through our online partners, including Mobile News and the IMPDA.

But by giving away each programme, we're not able to tell potential advertisers and sponsors very much about our audience.

So this week we'd like you to answer a handful of simple questions. There's nothing tricky and we won't ask for any personal details - all we want is some general information.

You can take the survey by clicking here. There are just nine questions, so we reckon it'll only take a couple of minutes.

Please take our survey - and help ensure the future of The Fonecast.

[UPDATE: TheFonecast.com survey is now closed]
