The diminutive Neonode N2
So occasionally I take a look at what’s in the papers, and this week I thought I’d do that – two items from Saturday’s Daily Mail, and one from an insert in the Sunday edition.
The Item that sprung out at me from Saturday’s paper was a reference to the NeoNode N2 – now, we’ve written A LOT about the NeoNode N2 before, but what interested me here was the National Newspapers’ views of mobile devices. A lot of them have gadget reviews, but it’s how they pick the gadgets, and what they are, that sometimes puzzles me.
Anyhoo, the NeoNode N2 was mentioned, and it’s a dinky little device, with a (yep, you guessed it) touchscreen. There is an interesting sweep system for the interface, and at £249.99 it’s not the most expensive device you’ll ever buy.
If you did read the Mail on Saturday, but missed where to get one from, you could do worse than check out Unlocked Mobiles, where you can grab one for the price above.
If you fancy at look at the Daily Mail’s online presence, go here.
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
