Austrian Wireless Device
Austrian company Tel.Me has introduced a smartphone, the T919. It's a phone, mp3 player, camera, PIM and syncs with Outlook, all the things you'd expect from a modern smartphone. But, unlike most currently smartphones it uses its own OS, which will limit its appeal unless they have something really outstanding in terms of functionality or UI. One innovative feature, which more smartphone makers should consider, is the choice of landscape or potrait display mode. Strangely though the T919 has only a WAP browser, not a full HTML broswser. That's where I think landscape mode would be most useful.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
