Yep, still waiting over here – plenty of rumours, but nothing concrete for what is promising to be a more than adequate contender for the iPhone!
Interestingly, TechRadar picked up a story that Palm will make a special announcement next week – quite what the scope of that will be is unknown, but you’ve got to wonder – and of course, ponder along with that which network operator is going to get the deal to have it first – my money currently is on O2…
Now with all that gadget loveliness in evidence, customers do have a real choice about what they get – is it going to be an iPhone 3GS, HTC Hero, Palm Pre, or maybe even a Samsung Jet?
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.
