AOL – AOLiphone?
Rating: now this is very, very interesting
I have to commend GoMo News as we have been tracking AOL Mobile from day one and have been aware of several very hot new developments. We would now like to draw our readers attention to this article in Business Week.
For convenience the best paragraph is below:
By yearend, AOL plans to launch a mobile version of WinAmp Remote, a content-sharing application that will enable a cell phone to play songs and videos stored on a friend’s computer. A mobile version of AOL’s just-announced BlueString, a video- and content-sharing site, is in the works as well. Also on tap for the coming months is the launch of AOL My Mobile, which will enable users to replicate their desktop AOL preferences on a cell phone. And for those who’d prefer to stick with single-purpose applications, AOL is working to create mobile widgets with companies including uLocate, which has developed similar software for Sprint Nextel (S).
What we think?
From this – its clear that AOL has deep pockets and a deeper ambition in mobile. The thought of a content-sharing application is exciting and with video, location and widgets (not forgetting AIM) AOL has a suite of services not to be messed with.
We expect a major new announcement around CTIA (when we also host the GoMo News Blender - more next week) and we will keep you informed.
