With mobile operators gradually adding laptops to their offering, we’re glad to report that the similar thing has started happening with Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs). That being said, French SFR has recently added two new HSPA-enabled MIDs to its offering.
The first of the two, SFR M! PC Pocket 3G+, features a 4.8-inch touchscreen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Intel Atom CPU and 4GB of integrated memory. On the other hand, the little-bit-thinner Archos 3G+ sports the same kind of touchscreen (4.8-inch) with storage capacity going up to 30GB. Linux is running the show, and Option provided necessary HSPA embedded modules to make these babies sing along SFR’s 3G network.
It’s a neat move from SFR to make these devices more appealing to the general public. In that context, we expect to see Sprint launching the Nokia N810 WiMax in the near future.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
