Can you see me now? Probably not

4:45 PM -- Whoops! It's not even a week old and Blyk 's ad-funded, teen-friendly cellular service has already hit a bump in the road. U.K. publications are reporting that users can't send picture messages to friends on other operators' networks. Clearly not a good thing when your target audience comprises some of the heaviest picture messaging users in the country.

Me? I'm still trying to figure out how you pronounce "Blyk" in the first place.

About the Author(s)

Dan Jones

Mobile Editor

Dan is to hats what Will.I.Am is to ridiculous eyewear. Fedora, trilby, tam-o-shanter -- all have graced the Jones pate during his career as the go-to purveyor of mobile essentials.

But hey, Dan is so much more than 4G maps and state-of-the-art headgear. Before joining the Light Reading team in 2002 he was an award-winning cult hit on Broadway (with four 'Toni' awards, two 'Emma' gongs and a 'Brian' to his name) with his one-man show, "Dan Sings the Show Tunes."

His perfectly crafted blogs, falling under the "Jonestown" banner, have been compared to the works of Chekhov. But only by Dan.

He lives in Brooklyn with cats.
