LiMo Foundation plays on Google threat [Tue Feb 17, 12:50PM]

The Limo Foundation - the consortium behind mobile Linux-based operating system LiMo Platform - is attempting to take some of the spotlight off rival Android during the GSMA Mobile World Congress this week, announcing today a number of new developments and claiming that some mobile operators are fearful of Google’s high-profile platform.

In an interview with Mobile Business Briefing, the LiMo Foundation said that some mobile operators fear that Google’s business model underlying the Android operating system offers a competitive threat to them.

The foundation argues mobile operators need to maintain control over their own brand, operating system and business processes... read on

Huawei unveils Android smartphone [Tue Feb 17, 11:45AM]

Chinese vendor Huawei has confirmed speculation by today unveiling its first Android-powered smartphone. The device - which bears a very striking resemblance to Apple’s iPhone - will be commercially available in the third quarter of this year.

Sony Ericsson announces new strategy [Tue Feb 17, 10:41AM]

Sony Ericsson has revealed its new ‘Entertainment Unlimited’ strategy. It will increase its focus on high-end, multimedia devices and broaden the user experience across devices.
It’s not too cruel to describe the ‘new’ strategy as staggering in its blandness.

It is little different to the joint venture’s founding principle that should have been guiding the company anyway. Instead of having music-centric Walkman devices and camera-oriented Cybershot phones, the new approach calls for something of a ‘Cyber-man’ approach.... read on

Nokia launches context aware Ovi Store [Tue Feb 17, 10:39AM]

No real surprise here. But Nokia’s Ovi Store is not simply a “me-too” take on the barnstorming iPhone App Store, although its concept undoubtedly owes a great deal to Apple’s success.

For one, Nokia’s version is aimed at a far broader user demographic, with both mid-range Series 40 devices and high-end S60 handsets being catered for. For another, Nokia will use location and other personal information (with user buy-in) to enable it to deliver a more personalised buying experience than its rivals. ‘Context’ is something of a Nokia obsession of late, so this could prove interesting, but is as yet an unknown... read on
