Hutchinson’s Foray: iPhone killer?

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I am not a fan of access because it cannot support faster speeds for a wide user base. Not yet. is a big disappointment wherever it has been implemented and is still facing teething issues.

No wonder, I was surprised to read about INQ phones to be launched by in the Indian subcontinent as the next “ killer”. Businessweek has a habit of spawning up controversies or issues when none exist. These planted stories in the usually have a smiling face of an overpriced alongside with “emphasis” on his “far reaching vision”.

I have nothing against these phones but with cheap crap flooding the Indian market, they are a real terror threat. For starters, none of them have IMEI number which helps them to be tracked. Further, there is no confirmation about the degree of radiation they give off; since they dont conform to the established standards.

The Chinese are bunch of slitty eyed ; they need to be kept at an arms distance from . Specially, when it concerns our national security.

I doubt whether the operators would be keen to open up their “walled gardens”. The WAP was such a lousy experience that I swore off the other methods of access except the wireline. With the 3G hoopla, I remain circumspect to the newer developments. Businessweek needs to better define their priorties in black and white though.
