Does mobile live up to expectation?
By Harry Fowler - Group Digital Recruiter for AMV Group.
Since 3GSM has recently finished in Barcelona and I never made it, again, I thought I’d give you my user experience on mobile recently.
It’s taken a while, but eventually Orange and T-Mobile are finally getting round to it.
Recently I signed up for Sky Sports TV via my N95 whilst I was sitting on a train heading to Edinburgh. £5 per month, cancel any time you want - not a problem you think. Then you get to the quality. It’s shit. Now I was on a train admittedly so I gave it the benefit of the doubt and tried it again when in a fixed position and with full connection - still shit. The sound is brilliant, but the picture morphs between static players and that really trippy bit from the end of Space Odyssey 2001. Not exactly the premiership quality I wanted (and not the bottom end of the league you understand)
I can’t work out whether it’s the machine or the signal but neither seem able to keep up with the pace - and as the old joke goes - “he/ she has a great face for radio” - let’s hope the digital radio stations are better quality (hoping the GCap haven’t ditched all of them by then)
Must remember to cancel that Sky mobile subscription.
Moving swiftly on Android looks like it has the capability to stretch even the most brilliant tech genius. If you are technically gifted then please get your head round this and maybe, just maybe people will start building applications into phones that we, the customer, the consumer and the payer of bills actually might need.
And they had better work properly.
