Page 3 of 3 Interestingly, Spb Software House certainly aren’t
minnows when it comes to software that revolutionises Microsoft’s
mobile Windows experience. These customers include ASUSTeK, BenQ Siemens, E-TEN, Fly, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, Gigabyte, HTC, O2, Optimus, Palm, SingTel, Swisscom Mobile, Toshiba, T-Mobile, and VimpelCom. No doubt Spb Software House hopes to add a few Australian telcos to that list. Now, the iPhone 2.0 software experience doesn't really seem, based on the preview from Steve Jobs so far, to add terribly much to the existing iPhone experience, but then the iPhone experience is still leaps and bounds ahead of anything else, although Spb's mobile shell is the closest competitor thus far. Windows Mobile devices still have things that the iPhone doesn't, like basic copy and paste, and has had things such as calendar and contact search for years. While iPhone 2.0 software is said to offer calendar and contact search, it'll still be lacking in some of the things Windows Mobile offers, while Microsoft itself is supposedly working on making Windows Mobile 7 a great competitor. The world of mobile device interface design is finally going through some quantum leaps in usability and usefulness, helped enormously by the fact that wireless data is ever more common, and ever cheaper. The fight between all the mobile phone manufacturers is only getting hotter, while operators fight tooth and nail to ensure they get much more just than basic voice and data revenue. The iPhone certainly was - and still is - very, very cool. But compared to what's coming in the future, I can only imagine that we ain't seen nothin' yet!
