    All that talk of UFCnot “getting” the Internet? Yeah, it's time to put that idea to rest. The company's longtime TV partner, SpikeTV, launched ultimatefighter.com earlier today, a place where mixed martial arts fans can watch the entire Ultimate Fighter library online. For free. Let that sink in—still think Dana White hates the Internet? In addition to serving up all 231 fights in the show's history, fans can also interact with each other on social networking services like Twitterand Facebook. Not a bad job, really.

    Samsung teases Bada at event, questions still outnumber answers

    Posted on December 8, 2009 | No Comments
    We've just come back from the Samsung Bada mobile platform launch event in London, and frankly the presentation was no more than an app developer and investor magnet -- no rendering of a new UI, no hands-on opportunity and no direct answers regarding the hardware. The only mention of a Bada phone is that something's coming out in the first half of 2010. That said, today Samsung did bring in representatives of five strong Bada app partners: Twitter, Capcom, EA, Gameloft and Blockbuster. Needless to say mobile gaming is high up on Bada's agenda, but the brief presence of Twitter's Head of Mobile, Kevin Thau, solidified Samsung's dedication for integrating SNS (social networking services) sites on mobile handsets. Yes, just like many fish in the sea. Read on to see how Bada aims to be "an ocean of endless enjoyment."

    INQ to build Spotify branded phone

    Posted on October 8, 2009 | No Comments
    Wow, if nothing else, new European music service Spotify, which is yet to launch in the U.S., has captured everyone's attention. TechCrunch Europe reports that Swedish telecommunication service provider Telia will soon release a Spotify-branded mobile phone. A source with knowledge of the deal tells us that London, UK based INQ is developing the Spotify-branded phone. The company already creates phones with tight integrations to social networking services like Facebook, Skype and Windows Live Messenger. INQ is backed by Li Ka-Shing, who recently invested in Spotify. We're still gathering details on this, such as date of availability and price. The phone is in the design stage right now, and there are plans, we're told, to roll it out to all markets via partnerships with various carriers.
