Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
If the HTC Touch Diamond and the other models has an
advantage over the iPhone, it is probably in the area of integration
with your office computer and the availability of third party
applications - after all it is a Windows device. However, new
applications are appearing for the iPhone daily that can make it a
useful business tool as well as a far superior entertainment device (it
is in the words of Jobs the best iPod ever).
Perhaps comparing the HTC Touch Diamond to the
iPhone in a feature by feature matchup is not a fair comparison. The
former is really more like a business tool while the latter is
predominantly a lifestyle device. However, it's a comparison that HTC
itself continually makes and the company is certainly very profitable
and doing well, selling more than 3 million Touch units in its first
nine months on the market. That said, the 2G iPhone, available in just
a few key markets, has outsold the 3G Touch by nearly 2 to 1.
Windows Mobile 6.1 is a pretty powerful operating system for small devices.
Perhaps someday soon, a handheld maker will bring out a Windows Mobile
device that can match the iPhone for simplicity, elegance of design and
functionality. It is highly doubtful that the HTC Touch Diamond will be
it. Next!
