Mobile 3.0, a JV (joint venture) between MFD (a German Mobile TV wholesaler) and publishing house Neva Media, has been awarded a license to operate the upcoming Mobile TV platform in Germany. T-Systems obtained the license to build the network in October (something we covered at the time).
The Mobile TV platform is expected to launch in April 2008, to be ready for the European Football Championship. The service will have about 15 channels, comprising a mix of public and commercial broadcasters. Regional programming will also be offered.
– my take on this: it’s fantastic to see a country where spectrum/regulatory issues have not arise, and that deployment of Mobile TV is a short-term reality. I don’t for a second doubt that the service will be deployed really effectively, given the stakeholders now involved in the project. Of course, the all-important statistic/trend everyone will be wanting to see, is the resulting take-up…. we wait with baited breath….!

The demo video for the recently announced Sony Ericsson W350 Walkman phone is here. As you’re about to see, it’s the thinness and the overall look of the phone the Swedish-Japanese handset maker is pushing. The device looks right and aside from the lack of the standard 3.5mm audio jack, it’s the perfect feature music phone… Anyway, enjoy the short commercial.

According to new research by SNAPIN software, over 60% of us in the UK are using our mobiles for just the core functions - text and voice. Apparently 30% of the respondents explained their reticence to do more by being saying their were concerned about extra charges. And 18% said they couldn’t be bothered with the instruction manual! There were also some other interesting stats too:
- only 1% had ever blogged using their device
- only 3% had used GPS/Sat Nav features
- 30% had taken and sent pictues using the camera
- 12% had used internet/email
These results will no doubt add weight to the argument by some analysts that their is a ‘no-frills’ market in the UK, and again their will be the inevitable call for easier-to-understand Tariffs.
Of course the one area where we have no information here is the size of the study - my younger years studying stats and surveys taught me that research where for example 60 people might ‘represent the thoughts’ of 60 million is highly likely to be inaccurate!
I think it’s fair to say Tariffs can be confusing, but set against reports like this are the fact that Nokia’s N95 ‘mini-super-computer’ for example, and likewise a slew of hi-res cameraphones, have done major volumes in most markets!
Perhaps the survey was done in only one city in the UK? I couldn’t possibly suggest which one that might, any thoughts readership…..?!

The folks behind GoldStriker are “striking” again. This time they’ve teamed-up with German designer Sascha Hildebrandt to pump-up the good ol’ BlackBerry Pearl with “gleaming platinum accents and luscious red leather.” The end result is the BlackBerry Pearl Platinum & Nightfire edition which: a) looks very, very, very cool; b) costs a fortune - $1,600; c) starts selling on February 14th.
Still don’t know what to get your better half for the Valentine’s Day? Yeah, the pink Pearl is also a viable option.
