i-mate de-listed to relaunch, not to close down
November 24, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.

In February 2009, at Mobile World Congress 2009 (formerly known as 3GSM), i-mate is going to launch new products, that will "shake-up the mobile phone space"! Really?

Jim Morrison, CEO and main stake owner of i-mate, said:

Some people think we are taking the company off the market because we are closing down, but we are not. We are taking the company off the market so we can relaunch it,

We are more certain of our future now then when we were on the stock market.

Furthermore apparently i-mate plans to:
  • buy manufacturing factory in China
  • buy software company to make more of their own software
  • "shake-up the mobile phone space" (exact wording) with some new products (multitouch?)
  • build spaceships and colonize Mars
Since i-mate has been making Windows Mobile phones and we hope that it will stay this way (although switch to Google Android would be understandable), we wish i-mate all the best! We are amazed that they are not bankrupt yet and since i-mate is located in Middle East where there is plenty of super-rich investors, probably they can get some funding to continue operation for a couple of years yet.
