Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full
of rye,
Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in
a pie
Anon,
Old Nursery Rhyme, which means than Sir Lindsworth Deer wrote this in the
Middle Ages
Now that Telecoms Provider Digicel is rumoured to be offering
the Google Android 2.2 aka Froyo Samsung Galaxy Tablet possibly in lieu of Netbooks, possibly a celebration
of their accidental victory against Telecom Provider LIME vis-à-vis the title “4G” as opined in
my blog article
entitled “Digicel,
the ITU and Samsung Galaxy Tablet - The Sorcerer's Apprentice”, the
spotlight now turns back to Telecom Provider LIME
and their LIME TV ?
Yes, you heard me right, I did not
mis-speak. By celebrating and launching the Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tablet ( I
dislike the long WWII era Technical name it has!!), Telecoms Provider Digicel is sending a message to Telecom Provider LIME with regards to their LIME TV Service which I was trying to point out in a
rebuttal to a Mr “Anonymous” from TechJamaica
forum member in my
blog article entitled “LIME
and LIME TV - Lara Croft Tomb Raider”;
the Screen is too small!!
Plus, I am sure after reading my
above article, Jamaicans, who may also be fans of Vybz Kartel featuring Russian
Jeans n' Fitted (get
it on Apple iTunes!), may want to
run out and buy themselves Rosaries, preferably the wooden ones blessed by a
REAL Catholic Church, as the plastic ones are cheap knockoffs.
That’s right folks!!! Telecoms
Provider Digicel, celebrating a
victory against Telecom Provider for once, has come out swinging with a
powerful left hook against LIME TV,
taking advantage of the one obvious problem that the device, that being its
size (no pun intended!).
Technology and pricing foibles are pushed
aside for this article, as OBVIOUSLY (my voice directed at TechJamaica) Telecom Provider LIME struggling to build out their LIME TV service suddenly springing to
action with a LIME TV based on DVB-H should
really be the first clue that it was a “VAS within a VAS”, a very exotic and
rare kind of Hybrid Network that saves Telecom Provider LIME millions on build-out by monetizing
its existing 3G Infrastructure.
Simple, TechJamaica – even the types of phones,
which are all 3G and the intention to port the LIME TV service to other smart phones
(Hint: 3G phones!) should have been clue enough that the article is basically a
form of media obfuscation! Oh I forgot, they don’t now Marketing and
Advertising, again their logic and rumor mongering being struck down straight
out of left field!
Thus I leave the “techie” stuff to
those whose namesake it is to discuss such things and focus on the CNET -esque stuff, mainly aesthetics and
Customer Care. In the Aesthetics Department, the smart phones on offer that
offends the most, namely the Nokia N77, should not even
be in Telecom Provider LIME profile for
the LIME TV service.
My scathing criticism of this candy
bar masquerading-as-a-smarphone quite easily vilified in my blog
article entitled “LIME
TV vs Netflix - 101 Dalmations”.
The other two hooligans, namely the
ZTE-G
N290/Aeon as well as the Nokia
5330 can “gwaan” as we Jamaican would say in our colourful patios, as the
screen is relatively large, decent and inconspicuously concealable when in
church on a Sabbath – and despite Pastor’s insistence, you just can’t miss the
Cricket Match Final, as you have no DVR (Digital Video Recorder). At least,
that is what their advertisements suggest, along with possible major traffic
disruptions!
But the screen quality is just not acceptable,
as neither the ZTE-G
N290/Aeon nor the Nokia
5330 supports 1080p video playback with more than seven (7) hours of
battery life.
Thus Telecoms Provider Digicel’s choice of the Samsung
Galaxy Tablet, thought a strange choice as the device is a 3G enabled device,
in nonetheless a clever one, as the 7” tablet not only has a bigger screen and
is set to kill off Netbooks, Laptops and PC as per my blog
article entitled “Tablets
and the Future of the PC - Jurassic Park and License to Kill”.
But it is also packing the Big
Guns: Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11n). This I think is an indication that Telecom Provider
is truly a wise company. Albeit the Samsung Galaxy supports 3G, which means
that the Customer can easily get a SIM Card from Telecom Provider LIME or Telecom
Provider CLARO, the fact that it comes with
Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11n) means that people are spoiled for choice.
Choice between using the Wi-Fi
(IEEE 802.11n) from their Zyxtel
- WiFi Modem - IX-280P or CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) as I prefer to
call this long-winded nomenclature of a contraption from Telecoms Provider Digicel OR paying for Municipal Wi-Fi
(IEEE 802.11n) Networks from Wayne Chen and Lee’s Family owned Dekal Wireless [a Droid] or Nubian-1-
Tech Services Limited [Queen Amidala Ship], both of which are great for
streaming YouTube, Netflix or even Hulu as per my blog
article entitled “LIME
TV and Broadcasting - The Andromeda Strain and My Science Project”.
In effect, this is a partnership
for mutual benefit without publicly acknowledging it or actually calling it
that, between Telecoms Provider Digicel
and Municipal Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11n) Networks Dekal Wireless and Nubian-1-
Tech Services Limited profile in much the same way Telecoms Provider Digicel has partnered with Telecom
Provider Sprint via Roaming Agreements as stated in my blog
article entitled “Digicel
and WiMaX 4G Mobile - Sprint, My Brother's Keeper” under the quiet.
Granted, at 7” across, the Samsung
P1000 Galaxy Tablet is a tad big, but as Telecoms Provider Digicel is the, and I quote “Bigger
Better Network”, I guess it is a logical fit, pun this time intended. Streaming
is the future of content provision in Jamaica, and with the prevalence of Virtual VISA Credit Cards and PayPal attachable to your local bank accounts
to pay for the thirty (30) day subscriptions to Netflix or Hulu as options,
choice now abounds among customers as to how they can get their content fix, on
a screen that is as realistic as can be.
Throw in the fact that Netflix has
gone full streaming, with the potential to make even DVD obsolete, and even May
Pen shoppers have a reason to bypass those illegal DVD hawkers selling just
outside of Bargain Village – and the reach of the Clarendon Police as per the
article “Netflix
expects Video Streaming to drown out DVD's”, published Wednesday, November
24, 2010, The Jamaica Observer.
My bad…...did I really forget! People, the Samsung P1000
Galaxy Tablet not only sports 1080p Video playback and HD Video Calling support
and a barrage of apps from the Google Android Store but also can be used to
stream video games from Steam as
well as OnLive Game streaming Platforms such
as Call of Duty: Black Ops.
What is not to love, folks! Telecoms
Provider Digicel has again scored
a coup against Telecom Provider LIME.
Worse yet for LIME TV when next year 2011 AD Telecom Provider CLARO, possibly in a wait-and-see
mode, may debut the Apple iPad S as per my blog
article entitled “Apple
and the iPad 2 - Honeycomb, Chrome and the DragonSlayer”. They better roll
out that app/code and the set-top boxes quickly……

Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
