Android Phones To Be Remote Controls ; Nokia Rolls Out App Challenge Aimed At Emerging Markets

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 16:11:42 -0700

More details on the upcoming Android phone. This time partner developer PacketVideo gives its take, in an interview with Forbes.com. Joel Espelien, VP of strategy, at the San Diego-based company, which provides Android with its media software, says the phone is much faster in loading web pages, because it's built on a "clean slate." He also reveals that the phone won't be smothered in Google (NSDQ: GOOG) branding, an won't support any new form of ads. Eventually, Android phones will be able to act as remote controls, as PacketVideo plans to adapt its "PVConnect" software to let users send content such as video, photos, and even TV shows between their computers, TV's and game consoles, similar to AT&T's (NYSE: T) recent announcement that it would link the iPhone to its high speed internet and video U-verse service. There will also be an app store, much like Apple's. The applications come from big and small developers, with 50 chosen from its Android Developer Challenge. With the OS wars intensifying, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is launching an application challenge of its own to drum up sales for its Symbian-based handsets. Its "Calling All Innovators" contest is especially aimed at emerging markets, where phone sales have been particularly good to Nokia's bottom line in the last few quarters. Such applications might include real-time market updates for Indian farmers, for example, or tailored weather reports sent via SMS, reports ZDnet.co.uk. The other two categories include "Eco Challenge," focusing on apps that help consumers reduce their environmental impact, and the other "Technology Showcase," is looking for cutting edge applications. Related AT&T Says The iPhone And U-verse Will Work Together In The Future Join us for EconMusic Sep. 23 in London featuring a Mobile Music panel with Nokia Music’s Tom Erskine, Sony BMG’s Ian Henderson, Vodafone UK’s Tom McLennan and O2’s Julian Zmood discussing the exciting future of this sector.

Filed under: T-Mobile, HSDPAHow convenient, T-mobile. That $199, Android-flaunting, 3G HTC G1, to be officially unveiled next week, is supposed to start selling on October 17th, just when the carrier plans to flip the HSDPA switch on eight new markets: Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Orlando, Philadelphia, Sacramento, San Francisco and Seattle. T-Mobile plans to follow those up with Birmingham, Denver, Detroit, Kansas City, Memphis and Tampa by the end of the year, covering about two-thirds of its customers with 3G before 2009 rolls around. It's been a rough few years for the T-Mobile faithful, but it looks an end is in sight -- at least for the urban among us.Permalink | Email this | Comments
