singtel m1 starhub try mobile tv

The three MNOs in Singapore, M1, SingTel and StarHub, along with the national broadcaster MediaCorp, are going to jointly condut a consumber Mobile Television trial using DVB-H next month. During the trial, 300 customers (across the MNOs) will be able to see six dedicated channels.  The handset on offer will be (slightly unsurprisingly) the Samsung P960 by the way.

Having travelled to Singapore to sell Mobile TV before myself, my take is that this trial is a very “early stages” joint effort, to work out whether broadcast Mobile TV is worth doing. On the upside for Singapore, there’s at least a relatively defined geographical area, which isn’t too large - and splitting that cost three ways makes a lot of sense. We all await the results of the trial…..

Samsung's SGH-i300 fond memories

Following from my last post about the Sharp GX10i, I am following up with another fond memory - this time of the Samsung SGH-i300. Now, what made this device “special” was the fact that it was one of the first to have a mini-HD in it - in this case, a not inconseqential 3GB!

Interestingly, I had one of these devices - back then, I was a Windows Mobile addict, and used to be a big fan of Activesync’s seamless Personal computer to device updating. The SGH-i300 was a WinMo device, and as such seemed a logical progression. The device’s scroll-wheel was also quite novel, and all went well until a couple of weeks in when I accidentally dropped the device on a carpet - and from not very high either. There was zero damage externally, but the device turned off - not a good sign.

Suffice to state, it never turned on again, and likely culrpit - the HD! Oddly, I’d noticed on rebooting the device previously that startup seemed to require the spin-up of the HD (perhaps to read files or similar), so the fact the HD was dead meant the device was dead! Alas poor i300, I knew him well…..

Anyone else have this device?

Neonode N2When you have a device as small as the Neonode N2, something’s gotta give, and I guess you can’t fix everything with a firmware update.

In a recent letter to shareholders, the company’s CEO and chairman Per Bystedt said they’ve failed at meeting sales expectations. The problem was that Neonode tried to reach “too many markets, too fast,” but also the N2’s “reception issues.” Ultimately, the company has lost $3 million, but asks for investors’ patience…

Shareholder’s meeting is set for August 5th at 09:00 a.m. CET/12:00 a.m. PDT/03:00 a.m. EDT. Hopefully, it won’t be all about the bad news. We’re eagerly waiting for some hot phones from Neonode. Don’t disappoint us, please…
