You know a company is pushing a device when they start hitting you with rich media direct email marketing – in this instance it’s Moto, with their next Dext device – apparently it’s the first phone with social skills, which I assume means it says please and thank you each time you use it
Actually the thrust of the email is make you aware of the plethora of different features on board, and on the face of things, it looks pretty good – like with most things, the proof will be in the pudding – or rather in this case, the usage.
However, for now, you can revel in the useful links below:
I really hope the Dext does well for Motorola – if everything is well put together, and the software isn’t buggy, we should have a good ‘un on our hands!
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.
