In Site of the Week (by Tony Dennis)
This week
Honda F1 Mobile
For a site described as "One of the most exciting and informative mobile WAP sites in the automotive sector to date", you'd expect something special.
Sadly Honda's F1 WAP site is hugely disappointing.
So what does it offer? Video clips from the last race at Monaco? Results and summary of performance from the Monaco GP?
Predictions for the next race? None of the above. What it does have are three pathetic F1 style ringtones and three wallpapers showing Jenson Button plus Rubens Barrichello.
The best part is probably the chance to win a tour of the Honda F1 factory in
GB.
For a company which offers state of the art technology, you might expect Honda to have tied location based techniques to displaying where the nearest Honda garage is located.
But, no. Surfers find the nearest Honda dealer by typing in their postcode.
Unfortunately the site's provider – the Mobile Interactive Group (MIG)– seems to think the site is industry leading.
This site definitely does nothing for the Honda brand. But at least it wasn't foolish enough to utilise a dotmobi (.mobi) address for the site.
