Brought to you by the same guys who crammed the Sense UI onto the HTC Dream is a video overview of the upcoming Samsung Jet Omnia 2 (I8000). We get a good look at TouchWiz 2.0 running on Windows Mobile 6.1 (though it’ll ship with 6.5), and the new cube interface. The I8000, unveiled only a couple weeks ago alongside a fewotherdevices, gets high marks for construction and display quality, and the OS looks like it’s just about ready for primetime. Rumour has it the Omnia 2 will drop on Verizon this month, so keep your eyes peeled, but in the meantime, enjoy these ten minutes of hilariously-accented English walking through the device.
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.
