Sky launch Anytime for Motorola Z8

Not even 24 hours ago, Motorola announced that their new Z8 phone had been used to make the world’s highest phone call, from the top of Mount Everest. Bet you reckon they couldn’t top that? Not for want of trying!

weComm, the leader in interactive mobile data solutions, today announced that it has delivered Sky Anytime on Mobile for Motorola’s recently announced MOTO Z8.

weComm develops the Sky Anytime on Mobile application for BSkyB, and has worked closely with Motorola to port the application to the MOTO(tm) Z8 for pre-installation in the factory. The Z8 is a ‘kick-slider’smartphone running the UIQ on Symbian OS platform with a Motorola soft key implementation.

Nice. Now if only they could get it working on some other popular phones (it won’t work on my N80 or my E61 for a start), I’d be a happy bunny. Market size of the Z8 vs the Nokia handsets that don’t support Sky Anytime? Doesn’t take a genius to work out they’re missing a trick here. Still, if you’re lucky enough to have – or be getting – a Motorola Z8, and you wanted Sky Anytime, worry no more!
