| Report: Entertainment to drive MMS - 7:16pm | 28-Nov-2002 |
The lion's share of revenues from MMS will come from
entertainment-based services rather than peer-to-peer messaging,
according to Juniper Research.
The UK firm has concluded from interviewing 40 industry leaders
that MMS has the potential to generate revenues in excess of
$8.3bn by 2004. Approximately $5.6 billion of that will be
generated through content delivery and provisioning, rather than
pure peer-to-peer messaging, at $2.7bn.

| Background pictures I copied from the T100 - 3:39pm | 26-Nov-2002 |
I likes the background picture used in the T100 promotions so much that I downloaded the press pictures from the S/// site and zoomed the pictures 800% and manually copied the picture pixel by pixel to fit into my R520. I then did a scale down for the T39 and colorized it for the T68. I have called these artwork of mine "Tank Boy" So here they are in full galore. You can either save it from here or take the pictures from me via WAP. Enjoy!
| 3G games for Women! - 8:26pm | 25-Nov-2002 |
With this in mind Forrester has tried to do the mobile operators' jobs for them, identifying a couple of markets which, it argues, the mobile vendors should focus on. The first one that Forrester identifies is the female market, accounting for 14 per cent of mobile phone users which, in some strange piece of analysis, Forrester says should be targeted with attractive handsets and then flood the systems with games.

| GSMBOX tests the T200 - 4:58pm | 20-Nov-2002 |
I disagree with GSMBOX that the T200 is closely related to the R600, it is more like the T65 if you ask me. Anyway, here goes...
The direct heir of the little known "recent" Ericsson R600, it repeats the size, weight and main characteristics. Substantially, it is still an Ericsson in the graphics (software, user interface and functions), but in the design you feel a strong influence of the Sony style.
