Here we go with round two of IntoMobile’s weekly podcast, The Signal!
The launch of the Nokia XpressMusic 5800 (a.k.a The Tube) dominates this week’s headlines, along with a batch of other Nokia announcements made in tandem. Sony Ericsson’s downward spiral and rough times for the American economy are also on the plate. Folks have been dubious of the iPhone’s claim to “real internet” since the get-go, but with Flash support announced to be in the works this week, that doubt may soon change. No interviews this episode for the sake of keeping things timely. In fact, we ran to about an hour talking about rumors, but just went with the headlines for the final product. If you guys would like a longer show, leave a comment, and we’d be more than happy to leave it all in. For that matter, we welcome all suggestions to make sure we get the formula just right, so speak up!

Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
