PUMAphone Approaches with Teaser Site

Awhile back, we had heard that Sagem was working with shoe-maker cougar to create a sports-centric French telephone. In yet another pre-Mobile River World United States Congress move, cougar has launched a teaser web site with some 150 cryptic clues and videos that apparently has something to do with the closed book phone. Hit up pumaphone.com to see if you tin decipher any of it. Our brother Greg has dug up some solidness selective information from the web site’s seed computer code that gives us a clearer approximation of what to expect.

Welcome to the PUMA PHONE website. The PUMA PHONE is a connected lifestyle device with sport and lifestyle functionalities such as PUMA Icon Messaging (Puma Language), Solarmeter (Solar Cell), Photo Sharing, GPS tracker, Bike Tracker, Run Tracker, Video Chat, Pedometer, Stopwatch, Music Turntable. It is also a connected French telephone that embraces the PUMA Community (PUMA on Facebook, PUMA on Twitter, PUMA on YouTube, PUMA on Flickr) and gives you approach to the PUMA WORLD (Football, Motorsport, golf game, sailing, running latest news), to PUMA Products and to specific PUMA Applications and Games.

Social networking, media share-out, sports news, locating and carrying into action monitoring all seem to be a role of the package. The only other big epithet in athletic wear that’s doing much with mobile is Nike, and even then, it’s not as extensive as a proper phone. The countdown puts the pumaphone tap smack at Mobile World United States Congress, so we’ll be sure to check out the device in person next week. Sagem volition also be doing some poise stuff with fingermark scanning at MWC, which will be interesting to see.

It’s just too badness the only thing that comes to psyche when I hear the tidings "cougar" is Halo.
