Pogo No Longer Vaporware

nicu writes "Back in April the Pogo device has been regarded with scepticism by many of the slashdot users. People should have a look to see where are they now, as it is the fastest wireless web browser around. The claim for 56k was made for ordinary CSD at 9.6k baud. For GPRS it claims more than 120k and it really feels that way. Customer reviews are available at the Pogo Portal."

Pogo Vapourware? What?

[Mr_Silver]

(disclaimer: I live in the UK)

On the 26th September I was at the Mobile Choice Awards (big telecoms do where they eat and drink a lot and pat each other on the back for winning such awards as "best UK NOP", "best customer service" etc) and I met several people from Pogo (have their business cards to prove it).

Naturally being from a NOP myself, they were eager to show their product. I can assure you that the Pogo hasn't been vapourware for at least 6 months (they've been selling in Carphone Warehouse for ages).

In fact, they're already released an updated version of the software.

I'm not going into the specifications because someone else can probably do it better than me, but in short it's flash based running on a custom OS with a very pretty interface. It's main problem (for me) is that it's too big and bulky.

However, I can't see my company selling their products through the distribution channels since the US arm sells something made by their closest rivals.

But, Pogo hasn't been vapourware for 6 months.
