No gag, I’m serious – Vodafone UK are launching not one, but three Android devices this month – and they are all good!
Vodafone’s Android April
Vodafone’s Android April is going great guns, with the HTC Desire and Legend, and Sony Ericsson X10 – all now available to buy on the UK’s best network. The Legend is available exclusively to Vodafone customers, and is available free on a £20, 24 month price plan.
So there you have it – it’s an Android-fest, with the pretty excellent Legend providing the jam in high-performance sandwich of the Desire, and Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Personally, I’m loving the Desire right now, but if Vodafone or Sony Ericsson want to lend me an X10, I could be prepared to have my mind changed
However, one Android device is notably absent from the recently-released crop – and that is the Google Nexus One (see above). Fear not though, that should be with us soon enough, else Vodafone wouldn’t have it on their website, right??
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.
