Nokia and connecting laptops
"HELSINKI -- The world's top cellphone maker Nokia plans to tap the surging market for connecting laptops to wireless networks taking on market leader Huawei Technologies, its senior official said."
and.....
"Nokia will start to ship its first Internet stick in early 2009, aiming to benefit from its know-how and experience in developing 3G technologies, Tapio Markki, vice president for hardware platform components at Nokia, told Reuters."
Well competition is good...right???? The embedding in Notebooks that nokia wanted didnt work properly. So this is changing their angle of attack!

LG and the 100mb download Chip
scorching news...
Cannot wait till this is everywhere (could have said ubiquitous) I want one in my phone! NOW! It does funnily mention you having a 700mb film downloaded to your phone in under 60 seconds!
1. why would i want to do that? phone screens are tooo small to watch a film in any sort of relaxing way, unless your going on the school bus/train or a journey of some sort, at which point im sure your transfer it over from a laptop or something (doesnt everyone make journey preparations?)
2. when the operators charge me per the minute for a download then i might be able to afford 700mbs of downloadage at current prices. That film may go down in 60 seconds but at a cost of a couple of hundred euro. I dont think sooooooo!

More Tales Piezoelectric power and IPhone Walmart
Speech powered Phone? Piezolectric (google it) Sound disturbances will cause sometihng to move, generating electricity! great idea. What if you text more though? Will operators punish those that dont speak more with higher Tariffs?
Meanwhile WALMART WILL have the Iphone for $99. Should be a niec stocking filler!!! oh wait, but if you are already with another network.......how will this work!!!! Is it really worth changing a number youve had for years???? probably not. All goes back to new business model needed.

A Very Nokia problem (touch screen demand)
Just some thoughts. Touch screen demand is a problem for nokia.
Nokia should A) not get sucked in to the touchscreen malarky like blackberry did. B) nokia has a pricing problem.
Yes that's right folks, the Price of some of the latest and best nokia handsets are absolutely ridiculous. If i can get a google iphone for 300 WHY oh why would i buy a nokia phone like the n97 for close to 500+ It just does not make sense.
The Nokia n97 is a great phone, Its my favourite phone that i covet, i want one, but in these times, im not going to just splash. Nokia is effectively pricing itself out of the market. If only business men can afford this phone, and lets face it they are not the most savvy tech people on earth, then A whole generation is not being indoctrinated to the s60 method of doing things. Only serious users of mobile equipment would pay for this phone. And there are not too many people that are that serious. Particularly when it comes to spending nearly a thousand Euro on a phone! something that you can lose down your sofa.

Thoughts on Mobile Internet Pick up
This all goes back to the operators and their business model. If it costs more to send a text message to a person within in a Mobile zone (non Roaming) compared to sending a message to mars by satellite, then what normal sane reasonable person is gonna want to browse mobile internet let alone do anything else AND get charged astronomical fees for it???? People know they are being ripped of by SMS. Why get another layer of financial ball kicking?????
Its time for the Business model to change to reflect the growth and (price related hidden) desire for email, mini Searches, and general reading that the mobile internet can give people. And those are just a base, you have payment options, Banking etc, Product reviews, and a whole load of stuff that is not invented for it yet.
Mobile internet's killer app IS its mobility not what sort of application you are using, whether using facebook, ebay, whatever. And what makes take up fail is peoples sense of pending financial danger. The sense that how am i to know if i am going over my allocated megabytes allowance?? And i cant blame them for not using it.
Mobile Networks Companies do their best to make this a hobbling peg leg feature, in order to continue to cream SMS and voice telephony astro fees for as long as possible. Once mobile internet is out of the bag, skype and twitter will over take Voice and SMS . As long as the data package is correct of course ;)
* PadyTax will of course STOP anything like this happening in Ireland.

Brits not Liking Mobile Internet

3's New Facebook phone
Well, this is not bad, have a read!
Review article Here
"3 said the INQ1 is free on a £15 ($25/€20)-per-month tariff, which gets you unlimited Facebook, Skype, WLM and web access. That’s in addition to 75 minutes of calls to other networks, and unlimited texts, email and 3-to-3 calls.
A £20-per-month tariff gets you all of the above, but with 200 minutes of calls to other networks. The phone’s also available for £80 ($120/€90) on PAYG, with web-access packages starting at £5."

Yahoo Mobile Go!
Well in a fit of madness, i threw privacy caution to the wind, and i installed Yahoo go. 1mb download. Its pretty impressive. I dont see how yahoo is so damn under valued etc.
It has a cool carousel function. Which lets you Select evrythig from finance to weather. etc. Brilliant :)
WARNING: of course this is all due to unlimited data package on Verizon NYC. It would be crap with out it, i wonder who of the big networks will be the first to make this a business marketing point. Data packages in Europe are lagging. In Ireland, this is unfathomable. It would be about 150 Euro a month. which is about 200USD. Its stupid, and rich functionality of the mobile life are being lost. :(
** Once problem with Mobile go is the inability to remove modules added. Also, its damn slow. google maps for black berry is outstanding though.

Where Verizon Fails - Google Reigns
I just was using my blackberry maps. The preloaded app on my Curve. Total Crap. The only thing of value in the relationship is the unlimited data plan. The maps fro blackberry are RUBBISH!
So, i installed google maps for blackberry on my phone.
http://m.google.com/maps
and boy o boy. Absolutely amazing. It has my location within 600 metres, complete with street view or map view! The satellite view is the hybrid for the map. As i said, unlimited data packages, + Handset flexibility are the keys to securing customers in the coming mobile operator wars. Wifi, google etc, all gonna change the paradigm! :)
And good riddance to the old methods!
