Forget the iPhone - this season's real mobile prize might just be the Helio Ocean. And it looks like Helio may be getting close to a full month's jump on the impossible task of stealing some of Cupertino's cell phone thunder.
The Helio Ocean will pack separate slider boards for dialing and texting, as well as 3G data (via Sprint), and a completely redesigned Helio user interface featuring what some claim is the best Web browser ever to grace their sweaty palms. And, of course, there's support for all of that IM, My Space Mobile, and music-listening stuff the kids are so into these days.
