With the market saying 'no' to Nokia's Ovi Store, what do you think can be done to change this?
What better way to convince people to buy your mobile broadband than by giving them a free laptop? That seems to be the thinking behind Orange’s latest move in the 3G data world.
Now, for anyone who fancies signing up on a two year mobile broadband contract, Orange is giving away a dinky Asus eee PC. The eee PC is a tasty beast - techheads rave about it - and the £25 a month fee isn’t a bank-breaker.
It’s almost a really rather appealing pitch from Orange - almost. It’s only the data cap that lets its down. For their 24 month contract, users will get a mere 3GB. Why would you want such a great mobile PC and then a such a tiny amount of data to use with it? Is it Orange’s way of trying to get users to run up lots of excess charges?
