Gearing up for MWC
Mobile Word Congress starts next week, and GIPS is getting ready to exhibit for and mingle with the approximately 50,000 attendees.
Last year I remember the launch of Xperia, SonyEricsson’s smartphone based on Windows Mobile, as a major event. This year I suspect to see a lot of new mobile smart phones with touch screens that will try to compete with the iPhone. The battle between smart phone operating systems and manufactures continues strong as ever. The winners of this battle will be the providers that enable the best combination of usability, feature set and access to content. We also expect to hear a lot about LTE (Long Term Evolution) or 4G that was specified to improve the UMTS mobile phone standard to cope with future technology evolutions. These efforts to standardize next gen networks will further strengthen the multimedia possibilities for smartphones.
To best equip application developers to enter this battle, Global IP Solutions will demonstrate how we can enable real-time, high quality mobile video and voice over IP. In addition, we will be blogging live from the show, with the latest news and events, and perhaps a witty observation or two.
