i-mate in America, finally

Wednesday, March 16th, 2005

Whoa! Barely 24 hours after we whined about i-mate and O2 not getting their wares (specificly the HTC Universal model) to the US … and Smartphone Thoughts landed a scoop on the announcement by i-mate CEO Jim Morrison of their American HQ opening in San Diego, CA.
It might not be the HTC Universal, but the [...]

HTC Universal: Only in Europe?

Wednesday, March 16th, 2005
