New front page

Well, nearly new anyway.

In case you had this website bookmarked but had not yet ventured into the blog (and why not?), I am making a few changes to both this and my ens: media website.

One change is that this (blog) page will be the home page for stephenpritchard.com, at least for now. I am also going to be posting some commentary about technology and media, previously on my other site, here from now on.

That means that I will have to start archiving posts more often than I had, but you should still be able to find links to published work here using the search or archive sections.

It might take a few weeks to fix all this up, so apologies in advance for any disruption.

thanks

From Buckingham Palace to the dairy farms of Argentina, everyone loves their BlackBerry. But when does a necessity become a luxury?

The smartphones have spread beyond the boardroom and are now an essential tool for the social networking crowd. Stephen Pritchard asks how long the success story can last

Sunday, 10 February 2008

Keeping a close eye on what’s new at Barcelona is Mike Lazaridis, chief executive of RIM, the company that makes the BlackBerry smartphone. His device may no longer be quite as trendy, in light of the latest iPhones, but it is still functional – particularly for Argentinian milk farmers…
