Yep, Bharti Airtel CEO Manoj Kohli has harsh words for Indian MNOs – his view is that there will be acquisitions led by overseas networks (the big Tier 1 Operating groups I would expect), along with other Operator just plain going outta business! India is a tricky market, and yet an exciting one – as…
Huawei announces more than 20 million USB broadband dongles shipped!
Huawei has announced it has shipped over 20 milllon broadband USB dongles! This is on the back of strong growth in this sector of the industry for at least the last 18 months. If that wasn’t enough, it is predicted that the sector will keep on growing – meaning Huawei (and it’s peers) will keep…
I turn 3G off…!
Probably against the grain compared to most people using Mobile devices, and possibly/probably much to the chagrin of the Mobile Operators who spent all that money on 3G licenses, but right now when I get a Mobile device, the first thing I do is see if I can turn the 3G network selection off. My…
‘Would you consider’ Mobile accessories #2: Video Eye-wear
Recently I’ve posted up some coverage of the Vuzix iWear range, which is now available in the UK. The ‘video glasses’ are essentially two small monitors (typically at QVGA or VGA resolution) that sit on a glasses mount – and give you the apparently perceptible equivalent of a 44-62 inch Plasma, depending on the model…
‘Would you consider’ Mobile accessories #1: Super-power Bluetooth headset
Of late, a few Bluetooth headsets seem to have popped up that claim to offer superior distance coverage (and I would have to assume therefore call quality). Most seem to have a base (docking station) that come with them, and all seem to be extending the workable wireless coverage from 30-100m. These accessories seem to…
Prediction: BBC will continue to be amongst leaders in Mobile Device content
Occasionally I like to write posts that take a wider view of the news – they might take in things that I have read directly (be it on printed media, or on the InterWeb), or they might be anecdotal comments that colleagues (both past and present) have made to me. At any rate, from time…
YouTube goes HD – but what about for Mobiles?
Any of you who are au fait with the selection of video streaming sites out there will know that YouTube is generally regarded to be the most well-known – although not necessarily the best for quality. So why has YouTube been slower to market with better-quality videos? Well, certainly from a volume perspective, YouTube’s video…
MacBook Pro: the five-minute fiddle!
OK so the MacBook Pro (MBP) might not strictly be a Mobile Device (to be fair it depends on your definition of ‘Mobile’), but it’s going to get an FMF (five-minute fiddle) anyway! So Mr. MBP arrived last night, to rapturous applause, looking absolutely stunning – the entire package, even boxed looks great – and…
UK: Digital TV might be spreading, but Mobile TV ain’t goin’ nowhere!
I read with interest an article on BBC News that is reporting on the uptake of Digital TV in the UK – apparently we are ahead of France, Germany, the US, and other countries, according to the National regulator, Ofcom. Research suggests that 86% of homes in Britain can now receive digital on their main…
UK: Economic Stimulus of VAT cut – effective?
You can’t say our coverage of the up-to-minute Mobile stories isn’t there, be it devices, services, or Industry news – IntoMobile is always on the case! We even cover wider news that pertains to given countries/economies, and how that affects Mobile – in this case it’s the UK, and the measures that are due to…
