An update on the Motorola Defy, the ‘budget’ satellite communicator

Should have been launched mid April,

Then end April

And now mid May …..

No working prototype

Then just this afternoon, I received the following email ....

I hope you have been well?

It has been a while since we last spoke, are you free tomorrow or early this week so I can give you an update on the MDSL and arrange a date for you to test it?

And Motorola phone with this technology in (Motorola defy 2), has also been delayed.

We really need proven, reliable technology when out in the hills

So let’s see!
