Samsung A737 slider phone (AT&T)

The Samsung A737 doesn’t score a lot of points in the multimedia department, but that doesn’t mean it should be overlooked. Samsung has gone to some lengths to make the phone more usable, both by improving the menu design and the navigation buttons. We especially like the phone’s design. We like the smooth, modern look and the wide center button. It’s easy to underestimate how cramped navigation can be on some slim sliders, and we like that Samsung has eschewed touch controls for real buttons. So, if you’re really into multimedia, you might want to look elsewhere, but for an everyday calling and light messaging phone, the A737 is a good choice. And for only $40 with a contract, it’s not a bad deal, either. Release: October 2007.

Speech recognition on Kyocera mobile phone

Nuance Communications that its speech recognition solutions are now available in the Tempo E2000, a new 2GB music-enabled mobile phone from Kyocera Wireless that also features video on demand (VOD) as well as a 1.3 megapixel camera. With Nuance speech recognition technology, users are able to dictate commands such as name and number dialing, by pressing a single button. There are also command and control features for the handset such as checking status of the battery level, finding contacts and more.

Speech recognition solution on Kyocera Tempo E2000 phone

“Nuance will continue to work with leading handset manufacturers such as Kyocera to deliver superior speech recognition solutions to people on-the-go,” said Michael Thompson, vice president and general manager, mobile search and communications, Nuance. “Voice will become one of the most important trends in the wireless industry in 2008 as safety on the road and communication continues to merge at a rapid rate. We look forward to a continued relationship with Kyocera as these solutions are developed.”

Motorola 3G femtocells

Motorola unveiled its first 3G femtocell customer premises equipment (CPE), the first two units from a portfolio of CPEs that will be commercially available in the second half of 2008, as part of the company’s end-to-end femtocell solution. The Motorola end-to-end femtocell solution is designed for high quality of service levels and is enhanced by the Motorola NBBS platform - Motorola’s device management system. NBBS is a highly scaleable service and CPE management system that enables an excellent end user experience while minimizing operator support costs.

Motorola femtocells

The femtocell that have been showcased at Mobile World Congress include:

* The 8000 Series - Motorola Femtocell Access Point: is a stand-alone Femtocell with an Ethernet bridge. This product is suitable for connecting to a standard home broadband modem or an existing Wi-Fi gateway
* The 8100 Series - Motorola Femtocell Ethernet Gateway: is an integrated Femtocell access point, with a 4-port Ethernet gateway, Voice over IP port, USB connections, and an integrated 802-11 b/g Wi-Fi router. This enables users to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi from their computers and to the 3G cellular network via their standard 3G phone from the same integrated home gateway.

Motorola NBBS 5.0
Motorola also announced the launch of the new version 5.0 of NBBS enabling broadband CPE, femtocell and mobile device management for WiMAX, GSM/UMTS and CDMA operators, helping them to accelerate the introduction of new services and devices.

Motorola 3G femtocell CPE’s

“Motorola is leading the way in the development of femtocell technology. We now have three trials taking place and our portfolio boasts a true integrated end-to-end solution,” said Alan Lefkof, corporate vice president, Motorola Broadband Solutions Group, Motorola Inc. “The portfolio maximises Motorola’s expertise in home gateways, CPE management systems and FMC solutions, enabling us to offer operators an end-to-end, fully tested and integrated, low risk, fast-to-market offering.”

Wireless voice and real-time data services

Femtocells enable operators to provide higher-quality and higher-performance wireless voice and real-time data services to their customers inside their homes. In addition, they enable a lower cost of delivery for wireless traffic in comparison to a macrocell network. For consumers, the benefits of femtocell include a seamless communication experience as they roam from inside to outside their homes, reduced “in-home” call charges, improved indoor coverage and consolidated billing - all from their existing 3G handsets.

Motorola member of Femto Forum

Motorola is a member of the Femto Forum, the independent industry association that supports femtocell deployment worldwide. In addition, Motorola leverages its leadership in fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) deployments and experience in delivering convergence solutions to major operators worldwide.

AT&T Palm Centro Now Available for us$99.99

As rumoured, Palm today finally announced the availability of the GSM AT&T Palm Centro – available immediately for just $99.99 in new “Glacier White” with green keypad accents (below) and also (in approximately one month) a second model in “Obsidian Black”.

For people used to the limitations of a standard phone it’s clear that Centro offers customers more choices to stay in touch with friends, family and co-workers while on the go by using any choice of voice, text messaging, instant messaging, e-mail or the Web. Featuring a color touch-screen and full QWERTY keyboard, Centro is also the first Palm OS product to launch with AT&T services such as XM Radio Mobile, Push to Talk and MusicID.

The Palm Centro is essentially a “mini Treo for the masses” and is the smallest and lightest smartphone in the world that features both a high resolution touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard in a candy bar form factor – one that now works with the largest digital voice and data network and also allows you to roam freely globally thanks to its GSM quad band radio.

The Sprint Palm Centro released a few months ago has clearly demonstrated that demand for crossover devices is skyrocketing (according to sources the Centro has actually been one of the bestselling smartphones on Sprint). “The fact is that the Centro hits a sweet spot for many customers looking for a QWERTY device with a solid suite of messaging and multimedia features,” said Michael Woodward, vice president, Business Mobility Products for AT&T’s wireless unit. “At a great price that can be coupled with a variety of AT&T’s messaging and data options, we are thrilled to offer Centro to our 70.1 million customers.”



Existing Centronauts have already raved about the following Centro features:

Superior Phone
Centro’s touch-screen and full QWERTY keyboard, combined with the simplicity of Palm OS, make it easy to use with key features such as one-touch speakerphone, conference calling, ignore a call with text messaging and Bluetooth connectivity.

More importantly, Centro combines the traditional mobile phone size while offering significantly more advanced phone features and much more complete contact information and PC synchronization compared to a traditional mobile phone address book.

Easy Text Messaging
Centro’s SMS text-messaging application displays text and multimedia messages in Palm’s chat-style view, just like PC-based instant messaging, so Centro users can see the entire conversation unfold. Palm is bringing this easy-to-use text messaging capability, which many Treo users have enjoyed for years, to Centro.

Instant Messaging
With the built-in IM application, customers can message with select contacts from their choice of AIM, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger instant messaging services.

E-Mail Options
Centro makes email easy with (among others) your choice of Versamail, Xpress Mail, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and Good Mobile Messaging. Using Xpress Mail, users can easily set up and access personal email from Gmail, AOL, Yahoo!, Windows Live and other popular Internet service providers. Xpress Mail also provides access to Lotus Notes.

Via Exchange ActiveSync, receiving Microsoft Outlook email while on the go, as well as syncing Outlook contacts and calendar appointments, can be done right after the phone comes out of the box. Good Mobile Messaging is also supported on Centro and is downloadable over the air from get.good.com.

Music Options
The AT&T Mobile Music platform includes the ability to sideload music with Napster and eMusic with built-in Pocket Tunes Deluxe, listen to live radio with XM Radio Mobile, discover new songs with MusicID and more. Centro from AT&T is the first Palm smart device to offer XM Radio Mobile.

Smartphone 2010: What Your Future Phone Will Be Packing

What can we expect from our smartphones two years from now? That’s a pretty short amount of time, but a number of technologies that have been in development for years are about to jump from lab to factory, and straight into the next generation of mobile devices. Rather than explore the what-if’s and could-be’s of future smartphones, let’s take a reality-based look at what’s coming around the bend.

The smartphones of 2010 are not going to be leaps and bounds better than they are today, but they will be closer to becoming the single most important devices we own. “There are three key trends that will cause a fundamental change in the role and nature of smartphones over the next few years: broadband everywhere; digitization of all content; and pocket computing power,” said Juergen Stark, corporate VP and general manager ofMotorola’s Mobile Devices.

These trends have already turned cell phones into smartphones and will drive the evolution of smartphones into devices that are always connected, that have access to all of your digital content as well as to the Web, and that provide a wider array set of personal services.

A Smart Phone Is A Connected Phone
According to Motorola’s Stark, there are three components in this future solution. The mobile hardware, the mobile operating systems, and the Web-based ecosystem. “This ecosystem will include many apps and services that will come from a variety of providers, big and small, but will be anchored around a few key services,” he said. “The other apps and services will be like smaller tenants around anchor tenants at the mall. Those key services will be: communications, contacts, calendar, location services, payment, identity, and content access/management.”

The biggest opportunities and changes will come with broadband Internet connectivity that is available no matter where you are. The next generation of wireless networks is on its way.Verizon Wireless and Sprint already have 3G networks up and running across most of the U.S. AT&T is slowly catching up, and T-Mobile will eventually get around to rolling out its own high-speed network as well. These 3G networks will evolve to 3.5G networks in two years time, meaning faster downloading and uploading of content via smartphones. While 4G networks on are the horizon, none will be widespread in just two years.

Smartphones, more than any other device, will be able to take advantage of these networks to empower users to do or access nearly anything.

But they will need better processing muscle to take advantage of the faster networks. Enter Intel’s Moorestown chip. Due in about two years, Moorestown is the soul of an old machine — a PC — in miniature. It’s an x86 processor with a graphics adapter, shrunk onto a chip that fits onboard a smartphone.

Look at usage models of most smartphones. People like to access their online accounts; but today, looking for (and at) information on a WAP-based browser is difficult. Combining ubiquitous high-speed networks with fleet-of-foot HTML-based mobile browsers means you’ll have the power of the Web in the palm of your hand. “The complete Internet experience that you have on your PC will be available in the mobile space,” said Sebastian Nystrom, director of technology strategy withNokia.

“What’s coming on top of that will be widgets, small applications that run on your device and access information on the back end. Mobility will bring new aspects to the Internet. We’ll see more devices that offer a truly comparable experience to the broadband access that people have at home today. That is going to be a key enabler.”

Laptops, by comparison, may be mobile, but you don’t use them when you walk down the street or drive to the same extent that you use a pocketable mobile device. People will start to see the power of how Internet applications are evolving and how they are tied to mobility. Applications such as GPS-based location and navigation, social networking, and Web 2.0 tools will present many opportunities for developers to enrich the devices.

More Memory For Multimedia Apps
A coming shift in how smartphones fit into our digital lives much less about getting the phone to do what other portable devices do today (camera, music player, gaming, etc.) and more about connecting you to your Web-ecosystem of apps, services, and content. “Having a device that is always with you, always connected, and has the power to run all of your key applications and access all of your digital content will drive a massive change in the role of the smartphone and have a more profound impact on how we live our lives day-to-day than any consumer electronics device in history,” notesMotorola’s Stark.

In terms of applications, anything that has to do with entertainment, music, and video is going to be big. Increases in memory capacity will play a large role in this. Today we have two types. Some smartphones have on-board memory and others use microSD cards. Going forward we’ll still see a combination of this. One form is not going to win. Either way, storage capacity is going to increase dramatically. “Flexibility for large-capacity cards, allows you to move content easier,” said Silviu Moraru, manager of technology and competitive intelligence for Samsung.

At CES last month, SanDisk (NSDQ: SNDK) displayed a tiny 12-Gbyte MicroSD card (six times the capacity SanDisk had a year ago) — think of all the photos, video, and music a card like this could hold when slipped inside a smartphone.

Those images can then be projected onto a flat surface and shared with others, when tiny projectors from Microvision, 3M, and TI hit the market. “With Microvision’s projector, you could view and share everything ranging from YouTube videos, MSN newscasts, and Google search results to PowerPoint presentations, feature-length films, and family photos in a large, full-color, high-resolution format instead of a 2-inch, Quarter Video Graphics Array display,” said Alexander Tokman, Microvision’s president and CEO, in a statement.

Having access to your content and being able to display and transfer large amounts of it easily will let people do more with the devices. This includes watching movies, listening to music, shooting and storing high-quality pictures and video, and sharing it via tools such as Flickr, Picasa, YouTube and others. Smartphones will access all of your content and all of your media, including work and personal documents, music, video, etc. Some of this will be stored on the device, some will be stored in the network cloud.

“Clearly the software capabilities of these devices is going to be really fantastic,” said Nokia’s Nystrom. “With the evolution of processing power, the richness is quite astonishing. The performance of the devices and applications to create fantastic effects, enhance content and be responsive is increasing all the time.”

Targeted Smartphone Features
So what else will the smartphones of 2010 be packing? Here are some thoughts from Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung.

First, smartphones will be targeted at different user segments. Some users want better cameras, others don’t need them. Some want QWERTY keyboards, others prefer touchscreens. In the end, it really depends on how attractive a particular feature is to the customer. “The things that people prioritize on are different,” said Samsung’s Moraru. “There will be no Swiss Army Knife device. You’ll have more targeted solutions.”

Vendors will continue to experiment with different form factors (slider, touch panel, QWERTY, etc.) but this will settle down to a couple of preferred form factors that provide the biggest screen and best keypad in the most pocketable device.

Will it be touch screens or QWERRTY keyboards rule the day? “A combination of touch and keys will make the most sense,” said Motorola’s Stark. “Individuals will have their own personal bias in terms of what they like best and devices which come in multiple flavors will be the rule. The ability to type messages quickly will be a rapidly increasing requirement on even regular phones.”

Faster Bluetooth, More GPS-powered Apps
Blutooth is already pretty much in every smartphone already. In a couple of years we’ll see Bluetooth evolve to provide better connectivity and faster data transfers with Bluetooth 3.0. Local wireless connections will primarily be Wi-Fi. “In 2010, you’ll see Bluetooth and WiFi in every device,” said Nokia’s Nystrom “Ultra Wideband adoption will be slow, the ecosystem won’t be there yet. In the bigger scheme of things, Wi-Fi is really going to be important. It will be leveraged for downloads on much faster networks than the HSPA or EVDO networks. And there is a move to have devices that support a/b/g and n. Multiple radio technologies are going to be on board.”

Nystrom also believes near-field communications, used for mobile payment systems, will be mainstream. “Networks and banks are rolling out NFC systems. They fit nicely in a mobile device and are one of the more promising new technologies to be developed recently. Two years from now, smartphones will have this technology.”

GPS will power everything. Smartphones will have GPS systems on board, and, with location-aware Internet services, will do more than help you get from point A to point B. GPS-powered applications will help you find your family, friends and colleagues, as well as connect you with services in your vicinity.

One thing we won’t see much of is WiMax. “It is really dependent on its rollout and where [Sprint’s] focus is going to be going forward,” said Samsung’s Moraru. “It will take a while before we really get to see widespread 4G. WiMax will definitely be in aircards, but not in phones, not in two years. There is a pretty big risk involved. Until things are more solid, and Sprint solves its other problems, people are going to be cautious about WiMax. It will probably emerge, but won’t be widespread.”

Nokia believes sensor-based interaction is going to play a big role in smartphones two years from now. Some phones, such as the iPhone, already automatically reorient the screen depending on which way you hold the device. Many more phones will have this type of technology built in. “We’ve already been talking about and showing some sensor-based user experiences on high-level devices,” said Nokia’s Nystrom. “Combining motion sensors and accelerometers together with location-based technologies, local payment technologies, etc., it really creates a whole new set of opportunities for people to interact with phones. Simple gestures, such as devices you can shake, or turn to navigate in 3D, or move to find out where North actually is, will be prevalent.”

Nokia, for example, is bringing to market a new way to silence a phone call. Simply turn your phone over when you see an incoming call that you don’t want to answer. The phone will be silenced and the call sent to voicemail.

The Wait For A Better Battery Continues
One place where smartphones won’t make a major leap is with battery life. That’s not to say that phone makers aren’t working on the problem. “Motorola has significant engineering and intellectual property to get the best battery life possible while running a device that is increasingly a pocket computer… And we make additional improvements every year. That said, the ability to power these device will be a critical constraint which will not be addressed by continual advancements on current battery technology.”

While smartphones of the future won’t be able to do everything we see in science fiction movies, they are moving forward rapidly. Some technologies that have been evolving over the last several years will be ready for prime time in 2010, and smartphones will be the first devices to adopt them.

Vocera Reveals A Wi-Fi Phone For Workers

Vocera, a provider of voice communication systems, on Friday unveiled its T1000 Wi-Fi phone for mobile workers looking for a more efficient way to communicate over corporate wireless local area networks.

The T1000 is a single-mode phone that uses 802.11b/g wireless technology — a set of standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers — not cellular technology, as a means of communication. By using their company’s WLAN, employees can make voice calls or send text messages inside buildings without incurring additional costs. Cellular carriers charge for such services and often don’t provide good coverage inside buildings.

The phone can be shared among users instead of being designated to a specific person. For example, the phone can be allocated when a user logs into the Vocera System for a shift. A phone number associated with the user’s profile is what identifies that person on the network. All voice mail and text messages are sent to the user, not the phone, according to Vocera.

Vocera is best suited for vertical industries, such as hospitals, where staffs have a need for in-building communication. The company also offers the Vocera Communications Badge, a wireless network badge that physicians in hospitals can wear, speak into, and listen through.

Both the network badge and the new T1000 phone utilize Vocera’s communication system, which comes with a dedicated call button for making calls by name, by group, or broadcasting a call. Alternatively, users can dial using a phone keypad. The system secures all communication through the use of the WPA-2 security protocol.

In environments like hospitals, the phone is meant to stay sanitary with the outer surface containing a BioCote anti-microbial agent that reduces the growth of bacteria, fungi, and mold.

The T1000 will become available at the end of this year. Vocera said it will provide pricing closer to the actual launch of the phone.

25 Native iPhone Apps We Hope to See

Thursday promises to be an eventful day for the iPhone. That’s when Apple will summon the tech press to its Cupertino, California, headquarters to hear about the company’s plans for the mobile device–particularly in regard to applications built by third parties.

All signs point to Apple’s taking the wraps off a software development kit (SDK) that it had promised to deliver in February. And when Apple does grant developers access to building native applications for the iPhone, that will mark a significant new direction for the device since Apple first previewed the iPhone at the January 2007 Macworld Expo.

Back in the days before the iPhone’s launch, Apple resisted calls to open the iPhone to third-party development, citing its desire to preserve the device’s security and stability. By last summer’s Worldwide Developer Conference, Apple offered developers an alternative: They could create Web-based applications that iPhone users would access through the device’s built-in Safari browser.

Though some software developers took Apple up on that offer, others built native iPhone apps anyway. The catch was, to install these third-party apps, users had to “jailbreak” their iPhones, which works by intercepting the communication that is supposed to happen between the iPhone and iTunes–thereby voiding the warranty and running the risk that future iPhone software updates would render the phone inoperable.

In October, Apple signaled an end to this cat-and-mouse game, promising to deliver an iPhone SDK in February. That SDK is likely to be a major focus of the conversation when Apple kicks things off at Thursday’s event.

But the specifics of what Apple plans to say Thursday remain up in the air: How open will the iPhone be to third-party development? Will Apple place tight restrictions on third-party apps, as some reports have speculated, or will those restrictions apply only to paid apps, as others have claimed? And when third-party applications do appear–assuming some won’t be unveiled on Thursday to kick-start development–what can we expect to see?

We won’t know the answers to the first couple of questions until Thursday, and it’ll take a while longer to see what kind of native apps emerge in the wake of Apple’s likely SDK unveiling. But we don’t have to wait to present our own wish list of iPhone applications that we want to see appear in native form.

We convened a panel of iPhone users–editorial director Jason Snell, senior news editor Jonathan Seff, associate editor Dan Moren, and senior editors Rob Griffiths, Dan Frakes, and Christopher Breen–and asked them to assemble a list of the applications they want third-party developers to burn the midnight oil creating. They came up with 25 programs they want right now, which we’ve ranked here in ascending order of urgency.

Did they miss a potential opportunity for third-party software development? Let us hear about it in the comments area below.

Adobe bites its tongue after iPhone Flash jab

Was Steve Jobs trying to send an unofficial message to Adobe Systems? Something on the order of “get it in gear, guys, if you want to stay on my VIP list”?

As my colleague Tom Krazit reported Tuesday afternoon, Jobs used the Apple shareholders’ meeting to publicly dismiss the the full-blown PC Flash version as “too slow to be useful” on the iPhone. He then went on to describe the mobile version–Flash Lite–as “not capable of being used with the Web.”

That’s an unusual–albeit refreshingly frank–way to talk in public about a business partner. Give Jobs credit for speaking his mind, although I very much doubt Adobe appreciated his candor.

I tried to get a comment from Adobe, which has worked closely with Apple over the years. Will Flash be supported on the iPhone or not? Here’s the official non-response, response to my query:

“”Flash and Flash Lite are a huge success. All major handset manufacturers worldwide license Flash today delivering a broad range of mobile devices ranging from feature phones to smartphones and consumer electronic devices. With more than 450 million Flash-enabled mobile devices shipped worldwide and 150 percent year-over-year growth we are on track to see 1 billion Flash enabled devices by 2010. Consumers demand a rich Web experience on any device and platform and Flash delivers just that. We look forward to our continued relationship with industry leaders to deliver engaging experiences to consumers worldwide.”

T-Mobile offering home phone service

T-Mobile USA said Thursday it’s testing a new Internet telephony service in Dallas and Seattle that will replace consumers’ wireline home phone service.

Subscribers will be able to connect any regular home telephone to a T-Mobile router that will send calls over the Internet much the same way as services like Vonage operate. The service costs $10 a month plus taxes and fees for unlimited domestic local and long distance calls. But customers also have to be signed up for a T-Mobile wireless service costing at least $39.99 a month. The required router, which also provides access to the Internet, costs $50 after rebates. T-Mobile said existing phone numbers can be ported over to its service.

The company had been rumored to be working on a voice over IP wireless router since this summer when it was discovered that the company had filed plans for the device with the Federal Communications Commission.

T-Mobile, which is the fourth largest cell phone operator in the U.S., is upping the ante as it competes against, AT&T and Verizon Wireless, the No. 1 and No. 2 cell phone operators in the U.S. Aside from having more customers and larger network footprints than T-Mobile, these two operators also offer regular landline phone service to consumers. T-Mobile, which is owned by the German operator Deutsche Telekom, does not own landline infrastructure in the U.S. This makes it difficult for T-Mobile to compete against these players when it comes to bundling services and enticing customers to drop their existing phone service for service with T-Mobile.

But the new Talk Forever Home Phone service along with another T-Mobile service called HotSpot AtHome, which was launched last year and enables T-Mobile subscribers to use their home Wi-Fi network to talk on their wireless phones, are designed to entice consumers to abandon their traditional telephone service for T-Mobile’s service.

Both of these services fit into T-Mobile USA’s bigger strategy, which is to expand its network footprint and add capacity to attract more customers. This year the company is expected to upgrade its network and roll out new services using spectrum it acquired in the Advanced Wireless Services spectrum auction run by the Federal Communications Commission in the summer of 2006.

Earlier this week, T-Mobile also announced that it would offer an unlimited voice, data and text-messaging cell phone service for $99.99 a month. This announcement came after competitor Verizon Wireless announced a similar plan. AT&T also announced it would offer unlimited voice and data for the same price.

T-Mobile Germany announced the MDA compact IV Windows Mobile smartphone

T-Mobile Germany announced the MDA compact IV Windows Mobile smartphone at CeBIT. Apparently, the new device is based on a new, yet unknown HTC smartphone which most likely runs Windows Mobile 6.1, and which will start selling from May 2008 for 111 EUR with T-Mobile’s 24 months Relax 100 plan.

Other specs include HSDPA support, 3 megapixel camera with auto-focus, 4GB of internal memory, VGA (640×480) touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0. We’re not sure whether the MDA compact IV is further expandable with microSD memory cards nor whether it sports a GPS receiver. Stay tuned for more information

Google Gears heads for Windows Mobile phones

Google is bringing Google Gears to mobile phones so that people on the go can access Web-based applications even when they’re not connected to the mobile Net.

Smartphones and 3G data services are changing the way some people work, allowing them to access documents and applications from anywhere. But when their wireless connection is interrupted or not available at all, they’re cut off.

Google Gears for mobile helps solve this problem so mobile workaholics can even get stuff done on airplanes or when they’re supposed to be on vacation in some far-off destination with no wireless access. (On second thought, maybe having access to work documents and other Web-based applications from anywhere isn’t such a good idea.)

Google Gears is an open-source browser extension that lets developers create Web applications that can run offline. Google has been developing the software for PC users, but now it is extending it for mobile users too. Google Gears is still in its early days. The mobile version right now supports Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile 5 and 6 phones. This means that other smartphone users, such as those using Apple’s iPhone, or people using other popular mobile browsers, such as Opera, won’t be able to use Google Gears.

But Google has said that it plans to expand support to other browsers and cell phone platforms, including its own Android software.

Another issue is that mobile Gears only works with applications that are Gear-enabled. So far, Google Gear applications aren’t widely available, but Google is trying to make it easier for developers to create Gears-enabled mobile Web applications.

Charles Wiles, product manager for Google’s mobile team, posted a blog explaining how Google Gears for mobile would work. He used the example of Zoho, a Web-based productivity application, and Buxfer, a Web-based personal finance application.

Google Gears is integrated into these applications. When users go to the Web site where these applications are located they will be asked to install Google Gears for mobile. Once installed, Gears sits on the phone and people can access their data even when there is no network connection.

Apple Expected to Announce Corporate Email Support

Many analysts predict that tomorrow Steve Jobs will unveil the company’s strategy to woo corporations into using iPhone for their employees. This will mean interoperability with corporate email systems such as Microsoft Exchange.

“If [as] part of the enterprise announcements, Apple announces it has licensed the ActiveSync/Exchange protocol from Microsoft, presumably this would mean that the iPhone would at some point sync directly with Exchange,” said Michael Gartenberg, an analyst with JupiterResearch, in a post to his blog last Thursday. “Bottom line if this happens? Big win for Apple.”

Apple is under pressure because its shares are down 35 percent this year to tap into some corporate markets. This means that Apple might come in direct competition with Research In Motion (RIMM), whose BlackBerry devices now dominate the wireless e-mail market.

Apple has had to deal with waves of criticism regarding its policy to close iPhone deals with only a few carriers and still reaching high in terms of sales (10 million projected by the end of the year), but the company refuses to make a compromise and make the unlocked version of the phone available for carriers around the world.

Recently, China Mobile Communications Corporation, also known as China Mobile or CMCC, the largest mobile phone operator in China, expressed interest to start talks with Apple regarding the iPhone distribution. Last year there were rumors that Apple’s officials have tried to nail a deal with China Mobile, but nothing was officially confirmed.

However, in November, China Unicom, the second largest Chinese mobile carrier, said also that they would be open to talks with Apple.

BlackBerry Dominates Enterprise, But iPhone Users Happier

Research In Motion (RIM), maker of the popular BlackBerry smartphone, is the clear leader in business smartphone marketshare, and the Canadian company’s dominance will continue throughout the second quarter of this year, according to a recent report. However, Apple and its iPhone wins the top slot in enterprise user satisfaction.

Seventy-three percent of the 2,013 IT decision makers queried by market research firm ChangeWave said their companies currently employ RIM BlackBerry devices. That percentage is unchanged since ChangeWave’s last survey, in November, 2007, but RIM’s lead over it closest competitor, struggling Treo-maker Palm, grew by a percentage point.
Palm has 18 percent of the market, Motorola has nine percent, Nokia has seven percent, and both Apple and Samsung have five percent, according to ChangeWave. (With the software development kit for the iPhone due this week, which will enable external developers to create business-specific applications, Apple’s is sure to see an increase in the number of companies using its smartphones over the coming months and years, analysts say.)
ChangeWave also predicts that RIM’s enterprise penetration will continue to increase through second quarter 2008, as 77 percent of respondents said they plan to buy RIM devices for future smartphone deployments. Apple will soon take the second place slot in business smartphone ranking, according to ChangeWave, with 11 percent of respondents saying their companies plan to purchase iPhones. Only eight percent of respondents said they plan to purchase Palm devices.

“What we have here is a huge and still growing market share lead for Research In Motion that for the moment appears near invincible,” said ChangeWave Founder Tobin Smith in a release. “However, at the same time, we’ve picked up an unusual eight-point decline in the percentage of corporate customers who say they are ‘Very Satisfied’ with their RIM BlackBerry smartphones, which may mean that there’s a problem brewing for the Canadian manufacturer.”
Though Apple took a small sliver of the business smartphone market pie, its iPhone landed the leading spot in customer satisfaction with nearly 60 percent of respondents saying they are “very satisfied” with their Apple devices. RIM came in second place with 47 percent, which indicates an eight percent drop in user satisfaction since ChangeWave’s November, 2007 survey. Nokia took third place with 40 percent, Samsung was fourth with 30 percent, Motorola took fifth place with 25 percent and Palm came in sixth with a mere 10 percent of users saying they were “very satisfied.”

A related November, 2007 study from J.D. Power and Associates found that BlackBerry users were the most satisfied business customers due to the devices’ ease of operation, operating system (OS), physical design, audio quality, battery life, and utility features.
For the survey, ChangeWave queried 2,013 members of its ChangeWave Alliance who are involved in IT decision making, fielding the research between Feb. 11 and Feb. 15. More information on the report is available on the ChangeWave website.

AT&T Tilt - Hidden Power

From this head-on view, AT&T’s latest slider phone looks quite ordinary. But the AT&T Tilt (also known as the HTC 8925) angles for a niche spot among Windows Mobile devices. This model features some cosmetic and physical updates over its predecessor, the Cingular 8525, but this phone is less about design than it is about versatility and powerful Windows Mobile-based computing (this model is AT&T’s first Windows Mobile 6 device). It’s a flexible phone, too: The Tilt is a quad-band GSM world phone compatible with EDGE/GPRS and with high-speed 3G UMTS and HSDPA broadband networks. As a result, it’s a great phone for travelers, especially if they can take advantage of high-speed networks. The Tilt costs $400 when purchased along with a two-year contract from AT&T; unlimited data plans are $45 a month.

Mobile phone new cancer fear

Regular mobile phone users are up to 50 PER CENT more likely to develop mouth cancer, boffins claim.

And those using phones in the countryside may be even more at risk – because handsets give off more radiation in areas with poor coverage.

Experts linked mobile use to cancer of the paratoid salivary gland – located close to where a phone is held to the ear.

They studied 500 patients with this kind of tumour then compared their mobile use to that of 1,300 healthy people.

Nokia to Microsoft Silverlight in S60 Phones

Nokia today announced plans to make Microsoft Silverlight available for S60 on Symbian OS as well as for Series 40 devices and Nokia Internet tablets. Adding support for Silverlight will extend opportunities for developers to create rich, interactive applications that run on multiple platforms in a consistent and reliable way.

Microsoft will demonstrate Silverlight on S60 during the opening keyote at Microsoft’s MIX08 conference on March 5 in Las Vegas. Silverlight is intended to be available to S60 developers later this year with initial service delivery anticipated shortly thereafter for all S60 licensees. This will allow S60 application developers to use an even wider range of development environments for S60 on Symbian OS than today.

Microsoft Silverlight availability for Nokia Series 40 devices and Nokia Internet tablets will be confirmed later.

GSM/CDMA can be used through the FCC testing HTC Shift

According to media reports, HTC Shift version of the Clio 100 and the United States 200 Clio FCC adopted the test, based on the Clio 100 GSM / HSDPA, for AT & T custom, Clio 200 support CDMA / EVDO, customized for Verizon and Sprint. After the release, HTC Shift from a very wide range of concerns, because it is a Windows Vista has 6 Professional and Windows Mobile operating system handheld devices pairs.

Grameen Phone taking internet to villages

Eight months ago, when Fizaz Ahmed opened an Internet service using a mobile modem in Kapalia Bazar of Jessore, the local people hardly knew what it was as the nearest Internet service was 35 kilometres away. Now the Internet is rapidly changing the lives of the people of about 15 villages around Kapalia Bazar.

Villagers are now buying printouts of documents like passport forms or licenses from Fizaz’s establishment. For Tk 5, a farmer can obtain a listing of prices for any agricultural commodity sold at nearby markets. Students have started exploring admissions in universities and compiling education related information. Mothers and fathers are chatting with their expatriate children or relatives on the Internet where they can see each other through the web-cam.

Fizaz’s Internet service is one of 80 Community Information Centres (CICs) set up with the help of Grameen Phone. Again the Grameen Phone initiative came from a development fund of the GSM Association (GSMA), a trade platform of 12 leading mobile operators of the world. The vision of this scheme is to take internet to remote locations using the GSM technology.

“This is such an educational venture for our community,” says Fizaz, “because people are personally interested to use this technology for various reasons. They come to me for free training on the Internet. I get 25 to 30 customers a day.” The shop generates daily revenue of Tk 350 to Tk 450.

The success story of Fizaz was shared among 6000 participants from 96 countries of the GSMA world congress being held in Singapore from October 15 to 19.

With the help and training from Grameen Phone, Fizaz took micro-credit worth of Tk 50,000 to set up this CIC with a PC, a GSM modem, a scanner, a printer and a web-cam.

Based on the success of this venture, Grameen Phone expects to help roll out 500 such CICs across Bangladesh by the year-end and help spark local entrepreneurship and knowledge dissemination.

“If one per cent of the population can be given Internet access, it will contribute to 4 per cent growth to export,’ said Erik Aas, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Grameen Phone. He added that the CICs are not exactly a business for the Grameen Phone. “From our perspective, we feel that it’s important to give people access to the Internet.”

Addressing a press conference, Erik noted that Bangladesh holds opportunities for the GSM technology. The mobile broadband has remained untapped and GSM will be the main access method for data transfer and internet in the future. Besides, GSM will also be used for money transfer and payments.

“The CIC will be useful for health, education and self-employment,” he added.

Currently Bangladesh has 5.9 lakh fixed Internet users while the government policy targets delivering broadband internet to all villages by 2015.

The country has 2.9 million personal computers, 15 million mobile subscribers and 1.4 million fixed telephones. Of the 15 million mobile subscribers, Grameen alone claims 9.5 million.

Aas noted that Bangladesh has 4 million workers abroad, each of them sending home $100 per month. The expatriates are eager to stay in touch with their families in rural areas, but due to absence of infrastructure, internet communication facilities cannot be offered widely. The CIC is addressing this issue.

The CIC is a business venture, not a charity. It demands investment of only $10,000 to $14,000 each. Each centre can serve 30,000 to 40,000 people of 10 to 15 villages.

Aas pointed out that it is easier to set up the internet access using GSM technology than fixed lines. Therefore in the near future GSM will serve as the main access method for data exchange.

The GSMA Development Fund is also being used for development of other social and environmental initiatives that may or may not be directly linked with mobile phone operation.

According to GSMA Director of Strategic Initiative Ben Soppitt, an environment friendly and cost-efficient bio fuels programme is being implemented under GSMA fund in Nigeria and the same will be implemented soon in India and Bangladesh

Cell Phone Unlocking - What Purpose Does It Have?

An unlocked phone is a GSM phone that is not tied down to any one carrier. So what does this mean? Unlocking a GSM phone enables you to use your phone with any GSM provider anywhere in the world. You simply insert the SIM card into the phone for easy and instantaneous service.

GSM is one type of digital technology and is not compatible with CDMA, TDMA or iDEN. A SIM card (subscriber information module) is a removable account card and has a serial number unique to it that identifies you to the wireless provider. A GSM phone is not directly linked to anyone. This means that you can put your SIM into any compatible phone and that phone will now act as yours. It identifies to your SIM not your phone. So now you can simply switch providers without switching phones unless the provider has their phones programmed or "locked" to work only with SIM's issued by their company.

In the United States, you can use either a phone with either T-Mobile or AT&T, the only current GSM wireless providers. If you travel abroad, you can swap out your SIM card for a foreign one.

It is a relatively easy process to get service for an unlocked phone. First order and sign up for service either at a T-Mobile or AT&T store or on the carrier's Web site. After you have your SIM card it is relatively simple, just place it in the phone and start making calls.

How can you check if your phone is unlocked or not? It is as easy as placing a SIM card from another phone with an account from a different wireless provider into your phone. If it works and shows the other phones number then the phone is unlocked. If you get an error message or it will not work then the phone is locked.

Please keep in mind, though that in order to browse the web; you will need to make sure your phone is programmed with the Internet settings unique to either AT&T or T-Mobile. The carrier can give you the settings or you also can find them on the carriers' website.

Why would you want to unlock your wireless phone? You want to change your current wireless provider in the US and still keep your phone. You changed your provider and got a new phone but want to use the other as a backup by swapping the SIM if you experience problems.

You are going to travel internationally and you don't want to pay the higher international roaming rates.

How do you unlock your phone? There are basically two ways. Your phone can be unlocked by simply entering a code into it. The code is a unique number for that particular phone.

Some types of phones need their operating software to be rewritten to remove the lock. This means connecting the phone via a data cable to a special programming unit. There are professional unlocking services that will provide this service for a fee.
