O2 i-Mode Scrapped, Bursting Their Bubble

O2 i-Mode Scrapped, Bursting Their BubbleThe UK’s number one mobile company O2 has dumped its flagship i-mode mobile Internet service after failing to attract enough customers – just two years after launching the service.

The ‘umbling turnaround came about after the company revealed that it had only managed to woo 546,000 customers to sign up to their i-mode service in the UK and Ireland. That may sound quite a respectable figure, but it only adds up to just 3 per cent of their 18 million customer base.

Philips SoniCare FlexCare: First LookIf you thought that your sonic toothbrush gave you the ultimate teeth clean, you haven’t heard about the latest sonic brush from Philips – the SoniCare FlexCare.
