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.
DataWind claims that its partnership with Zoho "offers PocketSurfer2 users with the ability to work from anywhere, taking advantage of a comprehensive suite of collaborative applications including spreadsheets and documents, all of which can be saved and shared online."
The product has received mixed reviews in the UK, PRPro magazine dubbed it "An interesting concept, but the PocketSurfer2 can't compete with other, more capable, devices on the market."
Another reviewer said: "getting to play with the Pocketsurfer2, a truly tiny GPRS web browsing handheld, is to experience ambivalence. On the one hand, it does what it does very well and with an absolute minimum of nonsense. On the other hand, it doesn't do anything else at all.... High praise is deserved for something that compromises not a whit on design - it's wafer thin and looks startlingly futurist - and which might one day be remembered as getting the head start on a computing model that will eventually take over the world. But for now, it feels like thin client computing or using VNC: you don't quite feel there."
Others confirmed, and were impressed with, the rapid page load, but bemoaned the lack of 3G connectivity.
