Found a great little cafe on the edge of the Marina in Dubai where they give you free wifi in exchange for buying smoothies and homely food. Thankfully it’s out of the SkypeOut blocking zone that my hotel seems to be squarely located in – some sort of monopoly imposed by the dominant telco. Got a chance in amidst the evolving building site around me to watch Steve Jobs’ keynote address detailing Apple’s progress in 2007 – they shipped a pretty impressive 2,000 iPhones a day in the first 200 days. Apple’s marketing might has really helped to bring the Mobile Internet to the forefront of many people’s minds lowering further the technology barrier to well and truly enable the Mobile Internet.
