Pocket Phojo at the World Economic Forum

Andy Mettler of Swiss Image has been very busy putting Phojo to work at his agency, with great results!

“The Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos brings about 80 Presidents, Prime Ministers, Hollywood stars and 4000 business, cultural and religious leaders to Davos. The photographer has transmitted every day between 80 and 120 pictures via Pocket Phojo. The quality thanks to the new receiving servers workflow was perfect – photographer and editors were happy. The system worked very stable.”

“There will be about 40 flat screen around the convention center showing and quoting the speakers during the session. When the session is over – the photos must be already in the system and on the website (www.weforum.org). So the photographer has about 5-8 minutes time to take the picture and to transmitt it to the online picture editor. Normally we are using the in-house WLAN but when high ranking US politicians speak all WLAN and 3G systems are disturbed by their security devices (then we use a LAN cable in the plenary hall). “

Will Phojo run on the iPhone?

I would really love for Phojo to be able to run on the iPhone. The OS is definitely up to Phojo’s specs, but the hardware is missing some crucial features. Like a card slot ;) In fact, compared to state of the art Pocket PC Phones, the tech specs for the iPhone are actually a little disappointing. The 320×480 phone is half the resolution of the screen used by the HTC Universal, and VGA Pocket PCs like the Axim. The EDGE radio is a full 2 generations behind the state of the art. Cingular’s fastest network speed requires HSDPA support, as seen on the Cingular 8525 mentioned below, which provides 25KB/s+ upload speeds – far in excess of anything EDGE can deliver. But, the iPhone is sex on a stick, and sure to sell by the 10s of millions.

So, apart from it not having a card slot, any other problems? Will the iPhone actually allow 3rd party applications to be installed? I didn’t see this confirmed anywhere. It would be disappointing if they lock it down, but not without precedent.

UPDATE:
David Pogue has posted a list of FAQs, and I`m afraid the answer would appear to be no, Apple will not be allowing 3rd party apps to run on the iphone.

Move along, nothing to see here.. Check out the T830 and 8525 reviews, both kick the iphone all over the playground for Phojo use, and are shipping now!

Seasons Greetings

I`d just like to wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from everyone at Idruna!
