TechTLV : Can you hear me now? The operator-centric mobile model is over
Can you hear me now? The operator-centric mobile model is over
Last week, T-Mobile Germany made some waves by banning Skype for the iPhone. Some might read this as a long overdue reassertion of operator power, but I disagree. A few months ago, I learned from a reliable source that a major operator was deliberately not shipping a very popular mobile phone model that they knew their customers wanted because the phone didn’t give them enough control over what the customer does. The phone was too open. This is exactly what Google was talking about back in 2007 when it insisted on openness as a condition to bidding in the FCC’s spectrum auction.
Ten years ago, when I covered mobile operators on Wall Street, they used to cite their vast capital expenditure on building on their cellular networks as their core differentiator. This was the reality behind Verizon’s amusing “can you hear me now?” campaign.

Rubrique à brac - Forums MacBidouille
A pre-release version of another flavour of Ubuntu has been released by the developers, and the first screenshots have begun to appear online. Ubuntu Mobile is more or less what it sounds like - Ubuntu customised for use on so-called "Ultra-mobile PCs", UMPCs for slightly-shorter.
Ubuntu mobile
(via)This is the first shot image of the Ubuntu Mobile edition. It is aimed at touchscreen based handheld MID devices with 7-9" screens.
With Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) we try to establish a basic setup based on standard GNOME without many modifications.
For later releases the goal is to get fixes upstream into the GNOME apps that dont support the resolution.
Any kind of feedback is appreciated.
