Video Calls Via Cellphones

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

When I picked up my SMT5600 I thought "Yey! We've finally caught up with Europe and Japan!" Then I find myself perusing a former College friend's blog and click on a link for 3 in the UK. (Btw, why are company names always cooler outside the States?). Check out their offerings. Very cool.

Looking at their coverage map map-app, the middle-of-nowhere village (Hassocks) that I grew up in has full coverage. 3G services including video calls...

Will we ever catch up? Or is the US always destined to be an also-ran in the arena of mobile tech?

I too find 3 to be a cool name, but then I named a company 7 (www.seven.com). Names (and commercials)are cooler in Europe because the U.S. is bogged down in conservatism and political correctness. This leads U.S. corporations to negatively deconstruct(focus groups) every idea before its homogenized release. To help counter this trend, we have written and posted a free 56 page naming guide pdf, which is free to all here:
