AT&T announced this week that they have taken the steps necessary so that Apple can enable VoIP applications on iPhone to run on AT&T’s wireless network. Previously, VoIP applications on iPhone were enabled for Wi-Fi connectivity. For some time, AT&T has offered a variety of other wireless devices that enable VoIP applications on 3G, 2G and Wi-Fi networks. AT&T this afternoon informed Apple Inc. and the FCC of its decision.
In late summer, AT&T said it was taking a fresh look at VoIP capabilities on iPhone for use on AT&T’s 3G network, consistent with its regular review of device features and capabilities to ensure attractive options for consumers.
“iPhone is an innovative device that dramatically changed the game in wireless when it was introduced just two years ago,” said Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO, AT&T Mobility & Consumer Markets. “Today’s decision was made after evaluating our customers’ expectations and use of the device compared to dozens of others we offer.”
AT&T allows customers to download or launch on their wireless devices a multitude of compatible applications directly from any lawful Internet website. Additionally, because AT&T uses GSM technology, the most pervasive and open wireless technology platform in the world, we support customers using any GSM phone that works on AT&T’s frequencies.
Sony Ericsson Satio, Aino and Yari is about to be launched next week
Sony Ericsson’s closely watched high-end phones, Satio, Anio and Yari, will be globally launched over the coming weeks, the handset maker said Friday. On the Swedish market, Satio will start selling on Oct. 16 and Aino on Oct. 14, while Yari will reach stores this week, the handset maker said.
Sony Ericsson press spokesman Mattias Holm told Dow Jones Newswires that the new phones will start selling on all major Western European markets at about the same time as in Sweden, adding that they will be launched on a global scale in the coming weeks.
Sony Ericsson has seen an especially good response from retailers and consumers on the Satio phone ahead of the launch, he said, and added that all major operators on Sony Ericsson’s main markets will sell the phone.
Analysts have said the new phones could help Sony Ericsson improve its market share, which has declined partly due to its lack of high-end offerings. In the second quarter 2009, the company’s market share fell to 4.7% from 7.5% a year earlier, according to research firm Gartner.
The Satio phone has a 12-megapixel camera and allows users to download a wide range of applications, while the Aino offers high audio and video quality and the ability to integrate the device with Sony’s PlayStation 3 console. The Yari is an advanced gaming phone.
