Amp'd Mobile to Offer Just EV-DO Service
"When was the last time you heard anyone call their wireless service provider cool? You will when Amp�d Mobile launches this fall. Amp�d is targeting 18 to 34 year-olds with slick black handsets that you can customize online before you buy. It has all of the right ingredients to make wireless data a must-have instead of an overpriced afterthought. Revolutionary channel-like user interface put videos, music, and games in your face instead of burying them ten menus deep, and it downloads content to your phone and PC simultaneously. In fact, the only thing this wireless maverick has in common with big carriers like Verizon Wireless, from which Amp�d is licensing its technology (an arrangement that puts Amp�d in the class of Mobile Virtual Network Operators, or MVNOs), is the underlying network. Even in this regard Amp�d stands out because it will exclusively sell phones that use high-speed EV-DO technology, guaranteeing a consistent user experience."
I like the part about downloading content to your PC and phone, at the same time. I wonder how that's done? It's a great way to ensure you don't loose something you've purchased. The EV-DO only service is a nice touch too. Everyone will have a fast connection. Then, all they will need is a nice Smartphone. :mrgreen:
