bye all
|
|
thank you Tom!
|
|
good call - thanks Alec
|
|
|
awesome
|
|
|
good call
|
|
Good call, interesting stuff. :)
|
|
Great call to listen in to.
|
|
Just hate the idea of no sim
|
|
|
good point
|
|
|
Apple's 'carrier' deals are as important as the iPhone itself.
|
|
|
Thanks Dan :)

Sheryl.. I think Nokia has far few models than other manufacturers. They are definitely some of the most advanced. But from the current studies we have on going, manufacturers struggle with figuring out what to make, trust me they are tired of making multiple models, but carriers are dictating to them to carter to multiple persona type users. Carriers have a hand in deciding what we use, thats a perspective I think we're not considering, we assume the phone makers call all the shots.
|
|
|
Alec...is what you mean the ability for all voip clients to speak to each other not unlike traditional telephone services have the ability to speak to each other?
|
|
|
Dan...do you really think that? Maybe I'm just out of the loop but with the number we have....seems to me there are a large number of nokia phones.

The HSBC story re iPhone has been quelled by HSBC personnel.
|
|
|
they should do that, but its not up to them, as far as i understand it, and this is based on a study were doing with samsung now, the carrier has alot of influence over the manufactuer
|
|
|
nokia is one of the few manufacters that doesnt make a bazillion models i think they are semi elitst, with apple being the most elite
|

Hi Jim!
|
|
|
good morning ..
|
|
|
lead users
|
|
|
good morning Jim
|
|
|
thanks Andy! :)
|
|
|
true
|
|
|
yeah - there are 4 N-95 models
|
|
|
they did the n95
|
|
|
interesting thought...why do people choose anything other than qwerty? I'm simply curious
|
|
|
who commands who, do carriers tell phone makers what to make? or vice versa
|
|
|
well why not 5 different n series and 2 different e series....qwerty versus not?
|
|
|
is it truly a good value to have a bazillion different models?
|
|
|
Why does Nokia not just choose 5 models and simply improve on them annually instead of keep coming out with new models?
|
|
|
there was a news bit yesterday about a Yamaha music phone, see if i can find the link, but makes me wonder if manufacterers are thinking are attempting to build more hardware/specific functionality into the phone vs going software
|
|
Have to drop off now all, it's been a great call!
|
|
|
Why can't they pull off a software ecosystem? N-Gauge launched with what, SIX applications?
|
|
|
Nokia makes awesome handsets.
|
|
|
carriers
|
|
|
sad, classic corporate blindness
|
|
|
that's what makes the App Store special
|
|
|
Discovery
|
|
|
NSTL fees, handset rentals porting
|
|
|
The cost is more like $30k
|
|
|
not to mention that there was NO WAY for a small publisher to ever get a BREW app on deck
|
|
|
Verizon never got this
|
|
|
selling through
|
|
|
Yep
|
|
|
The low cost of publishing and marketing of an iPhone app is simply unmatched. Compare the launch of a app across several territories and several carriers on iPhone vs Symbian
|
|
|
windows mobile needs to seriously reinvent itself in the wake of the app store, publications are gonna go from windows mobile mags to apple iphone dev mags
|
|
|
advertising is like the last ditch effort to try and monetize technology off people, its less about providing value
|
|
|
AdMob
|
|
|
Blyk
|
|
|
Also, Android ... once again a Java VM
|
|
|
quote of the day - "Announcements are great, everyone should make them"
|
|
|
I don't find it too difficult either, Bill
|
|
|
Apple is ok with WiFi VOIP
|
|
|
FYI: I don't have a problem typing on it and my fingers are on the large side
|
|
|
That's an amazing event, if true Jonathan.
|
|
|
This was do or die time
|
|
For many, an iPhone is a natural progression from an iPod.
|
|
|
Remember, Apple HAD to do this or face losing the entire iPod marketplace
|
|
|
Can't vouch for the accuracy of the rumour but I read that HSBC are placing a significant order. If true perhaps it is a business phone now.
|
|
|
What sort of timeline are we looking at before it becomes considered business phone?
|
|
|
The ecology of the App Store is simply unmatched. No competition
|
|
|
And when you want something new you go to the iTunes store. Simple!
|
|
|
Good morning Jon!!!!

|
|
The ANDY?

|
Echoooooooooooooo
