What went wrong for Mobile ESPN?

An examination of Mobile ESPN’s flaws from Business 2.0.

One thing I’m not sure about is Helio’s deal with MySpace.  I thought that I read somewhere that the deal expires in the near future, at which time I’m sure the established players (VZW, Cingular, etc) will get involved.

Two Apple iPhones coming in January?

An analyst from Prudential has reportedly claimed that Apple will release two iPhones in January at MacWorld, including a smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard and WiFi.

I don’t really believe that they’d introduce two. I thought they’d float one and see the response. Although an Apple smartphone would be killer.

Treo 680 for free??

Treo 680Gizmodo reports that the Treo 680 may launch on Cingular, with subsidies making the phone free as long as subscribers stay in the $30/month data service.

My precious Q could be in trouble.  That would be difficult to beat, although it would not include 3G (such as UMTS).  Still, thats a great deal as long as the monthly voice & data plan isn’t too hard to swallow.

Dolans make bid to buy back Cablevision

Deal is worth $19.2B. They could’ve bought them selves several copies of YouTube for that much. haha

Guess this means the Knicks will be bad for a while longer.
