Here the last information between Vodafone 360, Google’s Android, Nokia’s Symbian and Apple. I think it will be great if the product available worldwide. Unfortunelly, Vodafone with Windows Mobile OS has not available in my country… :(

Vodafone is hoping to hold on to customers with an ambitious new mobile Web service that includes a cloud-based address book, full-track music downloads, app store, and integration with social communities such as Facebook and Twitter. Vodafone 360—which sounds strikingly similar to Nokia’s Ovi—will be available across a variety of handsets including two new phones from Samsung: the H1, a high-end device with a multitouch screen and 16GB of memory slated for European release in time for the holiday season, and the less-powerful M1, which will follow the H1 to market.

Whether Vodafone can effectively expand into the world of mobile Web services is unclear. It faces stiff competition in the increasingly crowded app-store space, where platform developers, carriers, manufacturers, and even third parties fight for developers’ attention. And as Apple, Nokia, and others have learned, building out mobile Web services and cloud-based offerings is no easy task. Vodafone’s vision of an all-inclusive, carrier-branded service is ambitious and impressive. And its goal of embracing a two-sided business model that leverages the “smart pipe” for third-party app developers is savvy. But fulfilling those visions will take the kind of flawless execution that’s extremely rare for mobile operators.
