Derek

Entrepreneur

A London-based mobile entrepreneur, Derek works on MihiMihi, a Web and phone location-based service that allows a user to find and be found. Imagine being out with friends when one asks where you are. With MihiMihi, you can show friends where you are and offer them directions as to how to meet you.

Although he relies on his Nokia N95, Derek also uses an MDA Vario II and a Siemens SXG-75.

He uses his mobiles for voice, SMS, MMS, email, streaming TV (BBC primarily), general Internet (news, etc.) startup development, which includes GPS tracking. Derek’s main mobile issues concern handsets (due to his business developments) but he also feels that the streaming tv he receives is “clunky” with poor download speeds. And while he has paid bills via his mobile, he hasn’t used his handset as a payment device.
