Tmobile dump google. Then they revamp their business tariff whilst starting a potential mobile price war offering unlimited call rates, plus there is the Starbucks deal going on. Not to mention that Microsoft have just bought Danger…and of course are bidding on Yahoo.
The future of search is definately mobile…

yeah mobile search will be important in the future, but with mobile devices greatly improve their browsing abilities I dont think owning or setting up a .mobi domain will be needed. Do you?

Joff – T-mobile lead the way in the UK with data tariffs (web and walk) therefore have a bigger share in the market for PPCs (Pocket PCs) than any other network, followed by Orange then O2 with Vodafone lagging well behind.

Mark – I stand corrected! I really should get out of the dark ages with my mobile handset and get something with a bit of grunt behind it.
Anyway, it shows that providers aren’t going to just sit back and take the first search provider they come across and know there is money to be made from the mobile web! All good for us I suppose

May be a mobile browse tool is excogitated in the future.

I Confess I use the web and walk… never had any real problems with it. Did originally go for a Sidekick but went for something more pocket sized. Jaan I think you are right, if everyone had to go and buy a .mobi we’d all be cursing. Joff @ 34 I confess my street cred is lacking
But the big question is surely… who the hell uses T Mobile!?!
I’m sure even 3 has a bigger subscriber base in the UK. If you’re not on Orange, O2 or Vodafone then you’re nobody. That’s what the kids in the high street tell me anyway.
