It looks like that little wireless venture between Earthlink and SK Telecom (NYSE: SKM) has finally hit a crossroads. Helio has been thus far managed on two fronts – with investors Earthlink and SK Telecom getting equal say in Helio’s future. Well, it seems that Dusan’s mention of Earthlink taking a lesser role in Helio was pretty much on point. SK Telecom was set to pump more (much needed) cash into the hemorrhaging carrier, and today it was announced that SK Telecom will be investing another $70 million into Helio – effectively giving them a controlling stake in the company and the right to direct the company’s development.

We’ll have to wait and see how Helio fares in the long run. With SK Telecom at the helm, we’re hoping to see some of those uber-cool Korean handset start to hit US shores.

In a rather groundbreaking move, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has announced that they will give the N95 to Cingular with a 1900 Mhz radio. This will allow those residing stateside to actually use the high-speed HSDPA connection, which Cingular pushes over the 1900 Mhz spectrum. And Cingular does seem to be the logical choice for the N95, as it is the only US GSM operator with a 3G network up and running (even if it is highly unreliable and barely usable). But more interesting is Nokia’s decision to actually release this mega-smartphone in the US. Nokia may be aiming to pre-empt Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) and its iPhone and, at the same time, trying to garner more market share in the US. However, the two devices are radically different in terms of their form factors. So we’ll just have to wait and see how this new offering will fare here in the States.

The Symbian Smartphone Show is officially over for this year. The most notable news, as far as I see, is the launch of two new Symbian OS powered handsets by Samsung and LG Electronics. Hope their products will sell well, as it would be nice to see more smartphones coming from the two companies.

If you take a look at the present Symbian OS handset market, two companies are dominating the industry – Nokia (NYSE: NOK) and Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE). Japanese NTT DoCoMo (NYSE: DCM) orders phones from other manufacturers for their own subscribers, and those phones are rarely (if at all) available outside Japan. Addition of Samsung’s and LGE’s phones to the Symbian ecosystem could further strengthen the position of Symbian OS in the mobile OS market. And could also provide benefits to the users of the two companies’ smartphones.

In addition to the new phones, many interesting applications and services were presented. Full retrospective is available from these two links: day 1 and day 2. Also, if you still haven’t – read the keynote from the Symbian’s CEO Nigel Clifford.

Again, unfortunately I wasn’t in London during the Smartphone Show. However, I think I gave my best to present you the full picture. For that matter, I’ve used photos from other sites including: AllAboutSymbian, SymbianOne and the official Smartphone Show blog. Enjoy!

Discretix, the leading provider of embedded security and Digital Rights Management (DRM) solutions for mobile devices and flash memory, today announced availability of a white paper addressing the challenges of a secure DRM implementation on Symbian OS. The white paper will be available for download on the Symbian Developer Network website, partner extranet as well as the Discretix website.

OS platform security and secure hardware together provide a firm foundation for the deployment of premium content services, securing against even the most sophisticated adversaries. Such attacks are a major issue for secure consumption and distribution of premium content.

A hardware-based security solution such as CryptoCell is needed to protect against attacks by someone in physical possession of the phone. This is in addition to the comprehensive protection against software attacks provided in Symbian OS v9.

The Discretix CryptoCell is a complete embedded security platform for mobile devices. CryptoCell offers an outstanding level of security, while overcoming the challenges of performance, power consumption and silicon footprint. CryptoCell’s flexible architecture offers semiconductor vendors and device manufacturers a solution which can be tailored to meet growing market requirements for robust security solutions.

QSurround Mobile offers an enriched audio experience providing virtualized surround sound for close proximity speakers and stereo headsets for mobile phones. This enables users to experience superior audio with multi-channel or stereo surround through a more immersive sound field as though they are surrounded by numerous speakers. The QSurround Mobile technology is targeted for the emerging mobile digital TV market which is expected to be one of the key drivers for the rollout of mobile services on the 3G networks (third generation networks).

At the Symbian Smartphone Show, Symbian’s CEO Nigel Clifford today announced that the smartphone is poised to change the way people live in ways as profound as those triggered by the Internet and PC in the 1990s.

During his keynote at The Symbian Smartphone Show at ExCel in London, Clifford stated that a smartphone revolution is well underway and among his forecasts were that:

• the developing world will account for 50% of smartphone sales within five years
• a “smartphone generation” is occurring and the demands of the youth market will drive innovation and smartphone use
• mobile phone access will be the next significant Internet phenomenon

Arguing that the next big challenge for the mobile phone industry is to make smartphones more accessible to many more people, Clifford said the smartphone already combined over 20 standalone devices and gave users instant and constant access to the world’s sources of information and entertainment. He stated that smartphones, while only 4% of the worldwide mobile market today, are a broadening category, crossing markets and segments and, according to Gartner, will reach 200 million units a year by 2008.

Innovation is already encouraging people to use smartphones in ways that were inconceivable until recently. For example, Symbian OS is being used in phones that incorporate:

• calorie counters and pedometers, for sports categories
• panic alarms and exercise monitors, for devices aimed at the elderly
• Biometrics, ID and face recognition
• electronic wallets
• 6 GB of music – the equivalent of leading single purpose MP3 players
• 5 megapixel cameras, waterproof cameras
• “place-shifting” capability to access remote content from your home or office PC
• personal-video-recording capability
• multiplayer 3D games
• Voice over IP

Clifford further argued that the cost of developing new smartphones would fall as the industry benefits from greater economies of scale. Moore’s Law, more robust technology, and more compelling content have all contributed to bring the mobile phone industry to a “tipping point” where smartphones enter higher volume use.

Symbian, in conjunction with user interface software partners S60, UIQ, and MOAP, is assisting the industry in the development of mobile phone “platforms”, from which various models can be developed, each styled to appeal to a segment of the market but with much of the software and componentry in common to keep costs low.

This “develop once, use often” mantra was behind the decisions at NTT DoCoMo (NYSE: DCM), Vodafone (NYSE: VOD), and Orange to make software platform selections involving Symbian OS – operators with a combined customer base of 310 million users. NTT DoCoMo has shipped 36 Symbian smartphones in 36 months with several Symbian OS licensees. Reduction in time-to-market of new models demonstrated that the operator has been able to increase the flow of product innovations and new features.

Clifford argued that two fundamental trends would shape the mobile industry in future.

First, the developing world would use smartphones much more than generally anticipated. Clifford stated that mobile phones present the developing world with a huge opportunity to fast-forward into the information era (a process known as economic ‘leapfrogging’). So, smartphones may have their highest penetration rates in the most saturated and developed markets of the EMEA region and Japan, but the highest growth rates were in developing markets.

He forecasts that smartphones – not basic voice-only phones – would be in widespread use in countries such as India because phones were:

• cheaper than PCs
• greater in number (five times more of them)
• growing at ten times the speed
• capable of a rich mobile Internet experience

Symbian was not alone in finding that the developing world is turning to mobile for Internet access. Africa accounts for 80% of the BBC WAP site hits from outside the UK. The smartphone was bringing information to the eyes and ears of many people.

Second, young people are starting to view smartphones as essential to their lifestyle. They would be brutal in deciding whether a device was right for them, as Symbian knows from its experience in the fashion-conscious market of Japan. These youngsters represent a massive opportunity with more than $1 trillion in disposable income. Two-thirds of the young people who do not yet own a phone are in China and India.

Smartphones are already central to the lifestyle of many people. Under discussion at the Show were applications for the delivery of:

• music: Symbian smartphones outsold the iPodTM by 45% in H1 2006. Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) is using its Walkman brand for the forthcoming W950i Walkman, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has launched a music content business fronted by David Bowie and a 8GB handset (the Nokia N91) offering 6,000 tracks, newly announced Symbian smartphones in Japan by NTT DoCoMo have FM transmitters for streaming music, up to 45h playback time and even include the Napster-to-go service
• video and TV: Launched at the Symbian Smartphone Show, Sling Media delivers personal TV home viewing to Symbian smartphones, while newly announced in Japan, NTT DoCoMo phones based on Symbian OS have digital TV reception, can record to memory card, and boast a 3″ TFT screen – the largest screen on a mobile phone in Japan
• enterprise / email: Symbian expects huge growth in mobile e-mail accounts by 2010 and Symbian smartphones support all leading mobile email solutions in the market including: Seven, Good, iAnywhere, BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Connect, Visto, and ActiveSync for Microsoft Exchange, while 11 Symbian smartphones in the market today are WiFi enabled
• gaming: Symbian OS enables richer, graphically superior, high-performance premium games that can take advantage of the latest mobile hardware acceleration technologies. This year has seen the launch of Symbian smartphones, such as the Sony Ericsson P990 and the Nokia N93, which incorporate 3D hardware acceleration. Game developers can use open industry standards, such as OpenGL ES, to deliver cutting-edge 3D graphics hardware accelerated action.
• social media: Symbian smartphones are the perfect data acquisition device and enable immediate, effortless sharing of content with solutions such as Shozu from Cognima (users average 20 picture/video uploads per month) and Peerbox from Nareos (peer-to-peer legal file sharing, search, and on-air song recognition).

One of the interesting companies which presents its offer at the Symbian Smartphone Show was definitely Truphone. They provide a service that routes your mobile calls via the Internet, giving you free mobile calls to other Truphone users and very cheap calls to anyone else.

Their service is especially interesting when used in roaming, where Truphone allows you to save big. Speaking of savings, until Dec 31st 2006, US users can call across the US & Canada for free, whereas UK users can call free to landlines in 40 countries worldwide.

Research companies predict that close to one billion mobile phones will be sold in 2006 alone. No wonder so many industries are including mobile in their business strategies.

Smartphones, mobile phones based on open operating systems, are packed with technology and power, offering great features and access to the latest converged services.

Constant change drives the mobile industry forward. Contemporary business people face different kinds of challenges which result in:

• Devices get smaller, faster, better and cheaper
• Data consumption grows
• Users want more
• The value chain evolves

Korean Chosun brings the story that Samsung is set to unveil its new S60 phone – SGH-i520 – at the Symbian Smartphone Show which starts tomorrow. Apparently, the SGH-i520 would be a HSDPA device running on Symbian 9.2/S60 3.1, just like the N95.

No news whether it will have a built in GPS and/or WLAN. However, at 17.9 mm thick, new Samsung’s handset is the slimmest among available slide-phones, comes with a 2.3 inch LCD screen and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

I’ve sent an email to Samsung’s UK division and hope to get an answer. Keep your eyes open as we’re most likely to see Samsung returning to the Symbian ecosystem.
