    Offizieles MS Statement


    Official Microsoft response to Sendo no longer developing on the Smartphone platform


    WirelessSoftware.info received from Microsoft people official statement related to the fact that Sendo abandons Microsoft's MS Smartphone 2002 and takes Nokia's Symbian-based Series 60 platform:


    Microsoft does not view Sendo's decision to take Series 60 as big setback for the platform, which as you know just launched on the Orange network in Europe. In a nascent market, where handset manufacturers are making a range of investments in software, natural selection will occur. The best software will win and ultimately, the customer (both user and mobile operator) is the winner.


    From a Smartphone software product point, to date Orange is shipping the Microsoft-powered SPV Smartphone in volume to markets across Europe and Samsung, 3rd largest handset manufacturer, has unveiled its Smartphone handset and is making great progress towards availability as is Compal. We feel confident in our hardware partners and our strong relationships and commitments from mobile operators around the world and most of all our software.


    Additionally, with recent new OEM commitments from leading manufactures (i.e. Dell, Samsung, Siemens) :eek: within the last month, the Pocket PC platform is experiencing positive growth and industry momentum.

    Habe kein Branding bemerkt...


    Hat es auch definitiv nicht.


    Denke Samsung hat gemert das man mehr verkauft, wenn ma ein Geraet nicht erst vier Wochen bei einem Netzbetreiber anbietet, sondern bei allen auf einmal. Zudem werden die Geraete schneller verkauft, da kann man auch schneller wieder was neues nachschieben...

    Chiphersteller Qualcomm hat es geschafft, in Zukunft koennen wir unbeschwert und ueberall telefonieren... Stellt euch das nur vor, ein Geraet und alle Netze kann man nutzen (im jeweiligen Land versteht sich).

    Qualcomm's new MSM6300 chipset allows GSM/CDMA roaming


    Qualcomm has begun shipping a new mobile phone chipset that could change the future outlook of GSM. The new MSM6300 chipset supports CDMA2000 1x (basic level 3G that is backwards compatible with regular CDMA) and GSM/GPRS. This means not just triband GSM phones, it means we could have dual-mode triband GSM CDMA phones.


    "The MSM6300 chipset and system software will permit geographic roaming across CDMA, GSM and GPRS networks," said Don Schrock, president of QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies. "The integration of GSM and GPRS with CDMA2000 is a world's first that again proves QUALCOMM’s leadership in the industry."


    Qualcomm maintains that the tight integration of both technologies into the same chipset means that vendors will be able to develop dual-mode CDMA/GSM devices that are no larger or power hungry than current GSM models. A solution based on this chipset could provide real world wide roaming, since CDMA is the dominant technology in the United States, Korea, and some other markets. It also potentially provides a different 3G upgrade path for current GSM networks.


    Naturally, the MSM6300 chipset also supports Qualcomm's BREW standard, a competitor of sorts to Java for mobile platforms. I say "of sorts" because there is currently a Java engine for the BREW platform that will allow BREW phones to run the same Java apps that the current GSM phones can.


    Samples of the chipset have been shipping since September. More information can be found on Qualcomm's CDMA site.
