Option unveils iCON 225

Option, the wireless technology company, unveiled its smallest HSDPA USB device so far at the Mobile Asia Congress in Macau, China, according to PR-USA.

The iCON 225 is the company`s response to the growing market demand for very small yet high-performance wireless connectivity solutions focused on consumer and prosumer segments.

Option`s iCON 225 is an HSDPA device, specifically aimed at mass market business, and the device is already shipping to operator customers.

Delayed by lack of adoption and a range of technical issues, new research from TowerGroup finds that mobile banking is finally coming into its own, says Bobsguide.

Banking over the mobile channel, especially when considered in the context of an evolution toward mobile payments, is fast becoming a market mandate.

Mobile banking initiatives launched in the early part of this decade failed; victims of a lack of compelling features, functionality and consumer friendliness. Compounding these issues were limited device support, poor network availability and slow data speeds, as well as a lack of focus from mobile operators.
