Tuesday, 6. November 2007, 11:23:42
This one is taken straight from AAS. "Johan Sandberg has been a busy man in the last few weeks, with announcements from UIQ and a number of new devices from partners for the Chistmas season making an impact. I managed to catch up with him at the recent CTIA Wireless and Entertainment Show in San Francisco to find out what's going on in the world of UIQ.
We touch on a number of issues in this interview from CTIA in San Francisco, starting with the impact of the ownership by Sony Ericsson and then Motorola coming along and taking a 50% stake. What sort of practices do UIQ have in place to treat their owners and other licencees fairly? And have they learned anything from observing Nokia’s push to make S60 a platform over a number of handset manufacturers?
And of course UIQ isn’t developed in a vacuum, there’s a huge history to the product that has influenced UIQ3, and competing devices are constantly introduced to the market, including the Apple iPhone. Can hype ever rival technology?"
I have listened to the podcast and I enjoyed it. Johan explains the decision behind what happened in UIQ in the last couple of weeks and also some insight of the UIQ future... Check this out!
