CTIA: Amp’d and Kyocera’s Jet

We ’ve mentioned Amp’d Mobile before , but since they give me another look - see at their speech sound and services at CTIA , I figure it ’s worth re - hashing . As some of you already bang , Amp’d Mobile is made for the youthful lot of cellphone consumers . Some of the major thing that ’s ready them apart is a all customized UI that is heavily focused on entertainment , as well as a large content database that will include lively result coverage ( like concert ) , brusque video snip , and so on . One thing was clean-cut : they are not aiming to be another MobiTV . grant to them , most young consumers would have already seen TV display on TiVo , or on the Internet , and all they would be furnish would be supplements to that experience . For instance , rather of a Desperate Housewives episode , you ’ll get interviews with the cast about that installment . There were other feature like downloadable wallpapers and ringtones that did n’t concern me too much , but I ’ll admit I was very intrigued by the UI ’s build - in ability to blog and check your RSS feeds on - the - fly ( ! ! ) .

The first phone that they ’re wave out with Kyocera is the Jet , learn here . It ’s a CDMA headphone , with thrust - to - speak walkie - talkie feature . The Jet is EVDO - capable , able to show 30 fps video , has a built - in VGA camera , and support up to 2 GB of memory . news is that the phone itself will cost $ 99 . As for the overhaul fees , the Amp’d rep enjoin that they ’re following the cable length subscription model : there ’ll be the canonical vocalization package , and consumer can add on a information package , a premium content package ( like Sports ) , and even some On Demand items ( like a euphony video ) . Pricing was n’t available yet but it ’ll likely be out later this twelvemonth .

I was also severalize there ’ll be another Amp’d Mobile telephone set come out from Kyocera anticipate “ Angel ” , and a Motorola phone codenamed “ Hollywood ” ( though the name is subject to alteration ) .
