There is no news feature on their website and the last News Post on their Forum was Oct 27, 2004!<br /><br />Care to enlighten us on what bluepulse is offering or may be offering?<br /><br />A link would be good :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10178067.post-1108722417410758762005-02-18T11:26:00.000+01:002005-02-18T11:26:00.000+01:00Latest news is that there is going to be heaps of ...Latest news is that there is going to be heaps of free content available, plus other aspects that will make the monthly access fee seem dirt cheap.

Bluepulse and Jellingspot can easily co-exist within the same buidling ... although eventually, they could cross swords.<br /><br />As for the culture, you're 100% right about that -- however, the idea is NOT to talk too much about the technology (if you look at the current Jellingspot page, it's too technical -- my fault -- but, then again, I was chasing the early-adaptors) ... your mom (or mine) doesn't need to know anything about Bluetooth, Java, Symbian, etc... she just needs to see that "Phone X" can get this information. The same problems existed with SMS ... it was "too difficult" for moms -- but, now gramps and granny are texting all over the place ... <br /><br />We'll keep focusing on the early adaptors and innovator class -- and as you say, within the next 6 months, as these first channels grow, we'll try jumping mainstream --- a little bit slower in N.America, as Bluetooth phone penetration isn't as high -- this is why we're in Europe, larger clusters of Bluetooth users....<br /><br />Lots of positive media (and blogs such as yours) really help, too ...David Stennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03244777368494911240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10178067.post-1107372173181706542005-02-02T20:22:00.000+01:002005-02-02T20:22:00.000+01:00Thanks for writing this series of articles.

Having honest (although somewhat biased ;-) comparisons such this will make it much easier for other to navigate this space down the road.<br /><br />Geeks tend to rip through technology really fast, while the majority of the population goes on about their lives without a second thought to all of this. Depending on who you ask, and your market segment the trend with the general consumer adoption tends to range anywhere from 6 months to 12 years (culture has a big impact here - Japan is way ahead) behind the early adopters and pioneers, depending of course on the actual technology invovled. By and large I've found it more in the line of 12-24 months.<br /><br />I wonder if many of these companies won't have to educate the average consumer a little as to what is possible with their mobile devices, as well as prividing some way for users to differentiate not only the hardware, but also the software that runs on said devices. To my mom - Bluetooth, Wifi, GRPS and IR would all the same thing. Geeks eat this type of stuff up - average public takes a wee bit longer.<br /><br />Great post - looking forward to the rest.Bryan Riegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09457342815947836734noreply@blogger.com
