Ambitious small-timer INQ will have two more handsets for their lineup by Christmas ’09, one focusing on the Twitter experience. Their current INQ1 revolves more around Facebook, but Twitter, a social network built from the ground-up with mobile in mind, should be a great fit. As for pricetag, CEO Frank Meehan says it’ll cost operators only $140, and considering those who use the INQ1 are gobbling up data at a rate comparable to iPhone users, carriers should have an easy time raking in plan revenues.
