In March 2008, I had talked about the new Google phone based on the search giant’s Android software system. What was missing at that point was how Google intended to deliver the ads to their new cell phones.
But, now the picture has become a bit clearer as Google has joined Clearwire and Sprint in a [...]

An anonymous reader sends in a Seattle PI story about the use of cell phone records in missing-person cases. Typically, phone companies turn over location information to police without a warrant if one of their customers is reported missing; the police need only to state that the person may be in danger. In any criminal [...]
More bad news for Sprint Nextel. Today Qwest Communications International Inc. announced it will stop reselling Sprint Nextel Corp.'s wireless service and move its subscribers to Verizon Wireless' network. As a result, Sprint will lose 824,000 subscribers that Qwest contributed to Sprint's 53.8 million subscribers (reported end of last year). Sprint has been suffering defections from its subscriber base and has been losing money.Qwest signed a five-year contract with Verizon Wireless that will start this summer. Current Qwest wireless customers will receive a free, comparable Verizon Wireless handset, towards the last three months of this year.It's also been reported that Sprint was considering spinning off Nextel. Earlier we reported that Deutsche Telekom AG,
Nokia and ARC Transistance, the European network of automobile clubs, announced today that they are working together to provide Real Time Traffic Information to users of Nokia mobile devices. Nokia will offer the service as a premium offering in Nokia Maps 2.0 and in future versions of Nokia Maps. By adding RTTI, Nokia can save precious time for drivers by alerting them of traffic, construction or other road hazards that could affect their journey. When Nokia Maps receives the road updates from ARC Transistance, the application can dynamicly re-route during navigation and provide a faster route. This is a significant milestone for Nokia Maps, which makes navigation an even more compelling experience for Nokia device owners. ARC Transistance Traffic Information services aggregate

By Keith KingstonWe have become a society that demands the most technologically advanced equipment, and cell phones are no exception. That’s why the cellular telephone industry is changing so rapidly. Today’s phones are quite impressive with many bells and whistle, but wait, the cell phones of the future are like something out of a sci fi movie. Who would have dreamed that we’d come this far
Several weeks ago, I was spot checking my 15 year-old son's cell phone picture gallery and stumbled upon a photo of a navel piercing sent by a freshman girl. When I asked him about it, he said, "Oh yeah, she sent that to a bunch of the guys after she had it done." Lovely. Just lovely. Even though I've written a book addressing the fast-growing trend of swapping inappropriate pictures and video clips, I was still caught off guard when I saw the picture. Of course, we shouldn't be surprised in the least. In fact, allow me to be so bold as to say that rare will be the boy who can graduate high school without receiving some form of homemade porn on his cell phone. Sorry to depress you, but such is the reality when you arm hyper-sexualized teens with cell phones that have the ability to send an

If seems Fidel Casto's little brother, President Raul Castro, who is now president of Cuba is loosening things up. Ordinary Cubans lined up for blocks outside telephone stores to sign up for cellular phone service for the first time ever. The service is costing the Cubans about US$120 to activate which is about half a year's wages on the average state salary. That doesn't even include the cell phone or credit to make and receive calls. However, the Cubans waited for more than an hour to get a handset. The new cell phone contracts will allow Cubans to make and receive overseas calls which is a key feature because the overwhelming majority of Cubans have relatives and friends in the United States.In most industrialized countries not having a cell phone is unthinkable;
There's not much that annoys me more when I'm in the middle of eating dinner at my favorite restaurant and someone has their cell phone ring off with whatever tune that identifies them as a person. This happened to me today at lunch at my favorite Italian restaurant. I was about to down another bite of calamari when a cell phone went off very close by. I told my friend that you would think people
Recently, someone submitted a question about cell phones and calling cards to the Ask Me! page. I thought the question deserved a little bit more attention than just a short blurb and was a good topic to blog about.When I first traveled overseas, I used calling cards. I figured it was more convenient than scouting out a cell phone, especially since I was in each country for a only few weeks at a time. I only ever really needed to call my parents and wanted to remain unconnected from the greater world. Having a cellphone just didn't seem like I was getting off the grid. It was bad enough I was at an Internet cafe all the time! Wasn't the point of travel to get away from the trappings of modern life?So I used calling cards but, in the end, I ended up spending a lot to call home and, since th
Kids and Cell Phones - As parents, you may have purchase your child a cell phone as a means of protection so that your youngster would never be caught somewhere without a ride or could always call home to check in. What you may not have been aware of is the dangers that cell phones can cause. Due to the Internet connection available on most cell phones, your kids can become targets of bullies and sex predators.

By Matt Williamson Info Guru, Thursday, January 17, 2008The debate among parents over cell phones for kids is almost as heated the debate between candidates over health care, Social Security, and the war in Iraq. Everyone has an opinion, and we the people must decide. Only you know what your child's needs are, what your needs and comfort levels are, and whether or not a cell phone is right for your child. Choosing the right cell phone for your child can be tricky Felicia recently moved to Spokane, Washington. Shortly after the move, her eight-year-old son, Johnny, went for a walk and got lost. He didn't know how to find his way back home. Once he was loca
We’ve heard the pros and cons before, but a new Australian study claims cell phones could be worse for your health than smoking or asbestos.It’s the issue that won’t go away. Are cell phones detrimental to your health? Will the electromagnetic radiation cause brain tumors? Studies have said yes, studies have said no.Now a new paper from a staff specialist neurosurgeon at the Canberra Hospital and associate professor of neurosurgery with Australian National University Medical School, Vini G. Khurana, entitled "Mobile Phones and Brain Tumors – A Public Health Concern", looks at the results of previous reportage in both the academic and popular press.Khurana’s warning is quite dire:“It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health ramifications than asbestos and sm

Panasonic Bring Plasma To Cell PhonesPanasonic ain't too shabby when it comes to plasma displays - after all, they're the ones with the monster 150' display at this year's CES.This time, they're bringing a new iteration of its plasma technology to cell phones, aiming to take on OLEDs as well as other display technologies found in handheld and mobile devices. Surprisingly, this new small sized plasma display sips a mere 1.5 volts of power and is pretty close in terms of thickness and weight when compared against other portable displays. Panasonic also claims that this display boasts richer color and contrast ratios than most LCDs. The first plasma-enabled Panasonic cell phone will be made available in Japan sometime in the near future. I wonder how much more of a premium we'll need to pay f
Panasonic has revealed major changes in its telecommunications and high definition television divisions. New low-voltage plasma technology, partly sourced from AbleComm, Inc., is uniting the two divisions in new product initiatives, including plasma video displays for cell phones to use with AT&T's recently announced Mobile TV service. The service will provide full-length television content and sporting events from CBS, Comedy Central, ESPN, FOX, MTV, NBC and Nickelodeon. It will be available in May. Panasonic Communications and Networking Division Vice President Hiroshi Mitsukoshi told of a leadership shift in business phone systems, and Robert A. Perry provided a look at the future of Panasonic's HDTV business.

This is kind of a good-news, bad-news story. The good news is that Sony Pictures Television will be the first Hollywood studio to offer full-length movies on your AT&T cell phone. In May, they will launch the service, and the company says that it will offer a "wide-range" of popular titles. The company noted that the titles will be streamed with advertisements.
Even without the cancer risk, embedding cell phones within human bodies is a preposterous idea. The Low-Tech Times encourages people to enjoy life without always being tied to a dang wireless network.

Search Locally Without Typing with New Google Mobile Tool [Cell Phones] Search for local businesses in your area without resorting to your clunky mobile keyboard with the new, quietly unleashed Google Mobile feature found at google.com/m/lcb. When you navigate to the "lcb" page (local businesses?), Google Mobile identifies what city you're in (or tries to—my test had me in either Columbus, OH [wrong] or Los Angeles [right!]), so all you have to do is click through the business categories to narrow down exactly what you're looking for.

Well it’s a start. Previously restricted for elites and foreign tourists, ordinary Cubans can now call their BFF’s. If they can afford the contracts from the state owned telecommunications monopoly ETECSA (Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba S.A), it might offer a more interesting diversion than what’s disposable from their 20 dollar monthly stipend.

I did come across an article on unwired view.com talking about Apple applying for a patent for a "Dual Sided Trackpad". Made me do a double take. I had to chk this one out. I have heard about Dual sided phones like the one from Sprint. But dual sided trackpad?? As you can see from the patent file pics, the transparent trackpad can act as a normal multi-functional touch screen which emulates all the functionality of the iPhone when the phone the device is closed. When the phone is flipped open the trackpad can act as a keypad showing the standard T9 keypad layout, or the user can draw the number he/she wants to dial, and host of other features. Well who does not want to make hay when the sun shines? Apple will surely not miss a chance to make this technology available to its oth

>Article: Courtesy of MSN Tech & Gadgets, and PC WorldFrom Motorola's first phone, which weighed in at 2 pounds, to Apple's iPhone, here's a look at how cell phones have evolved over the years.1982: HeftyMotorola DynaTAC 8000XIn 1973, Motorola showed off a prototype of the world's first portable cellular telephone. That phone, which measured more than a foot long, weighed almost 2 pounds, and cost $3995, ultimately became commercial available in 1983. Known as the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, its battery could provide 1 hour of talk time, and its memory could store 30 phone numbers. It may not have been pretty, but it did let you talk while on the go--if you could lift it, that is.

A concept cellphone developed by the Finnish company Nokia and the University of Cambridge. The Morph phone doesn't exist -- yet -- but there are images of how it might function at an exhibit in New York's Museum of Modern Art called "Design and the Elastic Mind." If you can negotiate the eccentric, Flash-based navigation, you can check out the hundreds of entries. Some are funny, some poignant, some silly, some bizarre and some that look as if they might become really useful someday. Right now the Morph phone is a concept, but it is based on real technologies. It makes extensive use of nanotechnology. "Nano" comes from the Greek word for "dwarf," and a nanometer is a unit of length, equal to one-billionth of a meter. According to Jennifer Kahn, writing for National Geographic, a nanometer

The NTT DoCoMo D904i will be the first cell phone to offer motion sensitive gaming. The phone will use it's camera to track the player's movements. The screen can also be tilted to move a ball around the screen in a "Super Monkey Ball"-esque style. The question is: how will a player know what's happening if they are playing a boxing game and ducking and weaving at the same time? Won't the screen be a bit blured?
Cell phone technology has rapidly progressed over the last decade. When cell phones were first introduced to the mass public, they were bulky and extremely cumbersome. You can now find cell phones as small as a business card and as thin as half your finger. These new cell phones also allow you to do much more than just receive and make calls as well. The new era in mobile phones bring to us its prime dweller. One of the best cell phones available now is the Apple iPhone. The iPhone is the latest and greatest invention for the next 5 years.It would be doing it a huge disservice to simply call it a mobile phone. The Apple iPhone is a cell phone that allows you do to almost anything you want. The Apple iPhone is a widescreen, touch screen mobile phone that combines the regular uses of a cell

It's not uncommon that studies done on the same subject often come to vastly different conclusions; and studies on the link between increased risk of cancer and cell phone usage are no exception.A study published last year in American Journal of Epidemiology has shown that frequent cell phone users face a 50 percent higher risk of developing certain types of tumors. Specifically the risk of developing parotid tumors is increased by 50 percent. The parotid is the largest salivary gland and is located near the jaw and ear where cell phones are typically held.A 50 percent increased risk of cancer sounds very serious, and any increased chance of cancer should be taken seriously. However, if you stand back and look at the actual numbers the chance of getting a tumor from using a cell phone is s

The City of Chicago is being sued via a class action lawsuit filed this week for arresting drivers talking on their cell phones. The lawsuit claims that Chicago police are arresting and ticketing drivers by the thousands for violating the city's cell phone ban imposed about 2 years ago. Drivers caught talking on their cell phones are typically charged $75 and up to $200 if they are involved in an accident. Attorney Blake Horwitz filed the lawsuit against the city of Chicago, Mayor Richard Daley, and several police officers. Horwitz claims that the law prohibiting Chicago residents from using cell phones while driving hasn't been properly enacted. His firm specializes in police misconduct and has sued the city of Chicago more than 100 times.The law, 625 ILCS 5/11207, requires the city of Chicago to post signs warning drivers not to talk on their cell phones while driving. However, here are no signs posted in the city of Chicago, which makes the fine
Talking about the mobile phones we feel that the technology is advancing quite fast and companies are providing new and improved technology.

Linked below is an old advertisement for a “shoe-fitting fluoroscope” -- essentially, an X-ray machine used to look at the bones of your foot in order to judge your shoe size.
As little as 60 years ago, these devices were pervasive and thought to be harmless. But by the early 1950s, a number of professional organizations had issued warnings about the continued use of shoe-fitting fluoroscopes -- some thirty years after they were invented and routinely used. Today we know how risky and carcinogenic X-rays can be. One shoe model received such a serious radiation burn from a shoe-fitting fluoroscope that her leg had to be amputated.
I hope that it will take us less than thirty years to recognize the major danger resulting from exposure to the explosion of information carrying radio waves around us -- especially from cell phones, but also from WiFi, WiMax, BlueTooth, and other wireless devices. We are being bombarded with dangerous radiation, for these devices are far more common than
I have been trying to kick this lingering cold to the curb for acouple of weeks now, very frustrating how it just seems towant to hang around. But that doesn't mean that I haven'tbeen keeping my eye on the odd, amusing, or troublingheadline!

The man, identified only by his family name, Sur, was found dead by his co-workers at a quarry in North Chungcheong Province where he was employed as a shovel operator.
According to the co-worker who found him, "He had a mobile phone with a melted battery in his left shirt pocket. His shirt had soot on it in the shape of the phone."
Professor Kim Hoon at Chungbuk National University, who examined the body, attributed the death to a phone battery explosion.” He was injured in the left side of his chest. His ribs and spine were broken. The explosion punctured his heart and lungs, leading to his death," Kim said.
As you likely know, a greater risk from cell phones is the electromagnetic radiation they produce. I warned of these dangers on my Today Show interview last month, but the media blacklisted it and only showed a short section

According to Chief Executive James Keyes of Blockbuster Inc (the movie rental chain) his company is trying to bring movies to cell phones. The company is in talks with all the major mobile phone makers about partnerships to make it easier for users to watch movies on the go, Keyes stated at the Reuters Media Summit that he started watching movies on his BlackBerry after some help from a technical expert at Blockbuster and from Jim Balsillie, the co-chief executive of Blackberry maker Research in Motion Ltd. Keyes also uses the iPhone from Apple Inc and stated that Blockbuster is in talks with software companies about possible partnerships, but he did not name them.The executive, who asked his technician to download movies from Blockbuster's Movielink online service to a tiny storage card that is then inserted into his BlackBerry, did not give details on how the process could be made easier.

Reselling old cell phones is good for the environment as well as your pocketbook. Recent studies by the University of Florida found that dangerous levels of lead and toxins could leach from the millions of old cell phones dumped into landfills.
Come to think of it, I still have an old Nokia cell phone in one
Do you really want to be available for anyone and everyone on a 24/7 basis? What do I mean? A famous person once said that the more available you make yourself; the more available everyone will expect you to be. People will actually be annoyed if you are not instantly and constantly available rather than being pleased when you do call. People expecting you to be available all the time may be annoying. Cell phone calls follow you everywhere you are including your bathroom. Even during nighttime when you want to rest, cell phones continue to ring and annoy you. If it is important, no problem but if it is very menial, why you need to be bothered so late.Today in this modern society, we live in and the proliferation of cell phones we see people talking anywhere and everywhere. If used for business, this may prove to be very effective and worthy. However, for very menial issues being bothered in your sleep and even during your bathroom time may be quite annoying if not outright disgus

Swedish researchers found that people who use a cell phone for 10 or more years are twice as likely to develop a certain type of brain tumor, and children under 10 are most at risk.I was really excited when the Today Show contacted me on Monday, asking for an interview about this study, as I thought they were finally starting to accept the truth. Needless to say, I was seriously disappointed when they only aired four seconds of my twenty minute interview. They completely removed all the science that I carefully explained to them, about why cell phones are dangerous. They edited this crucial information from the piece, and replaced it with innane comments from clueless mothers seeking to justify the use of cell phones.It took twenty years for the first one billion cell phones to be sold -- a milestone reached in 2004. The next billion took 18 months. The third billion was nine months, and we will reach the fourth billion by the end of this year. We a
Largest retailer of cell phones in India, Univercell was started a decade back with merely five employees and today they are 1000 employee strong and have opened 100 showrooms across South India. "When I entered the cell phone retail market, my belief in myself was my strongest selling point,” says D Sathish Babu, MD, Univercell, “In 1997 I started out with just five employees and we were mainly dealing with selling phone connections. But it was just a matter a time that I realized that there was a dearth of legal retail outlets for handsets. Customers went to the grey market looking for variety but I gave them retail therapy they could never get at the grey market – a charming ambience, cordial service, phones with warranty and after sales service. This is also the basis of our brand identity” Despite a competitive market, Univercell continues to grow exponentially, Sathish babu explains, “It is simple, we sell more; we buy more. Because of the volumes we deal in, we are in

The Associated PressSAN MIGUEL, Philippines: It's Thursday, so 18-year-old Dennis Tiangco is off to a bank to collect his weekly allowance, zapped by his mother — who's working in Hong Kong — to his electronic wallet: his cell phone.Sauntering into a branch of GM Bank in the town of San Miguel, Dennis fills out a form, sends a text message via his phone to a bank line dedicated to the service.In a matter of seconds, the transaction is approved and the teller gives him 2,500 pesos (US$54), minus a 1 percent fee. He doesn't need a bank account to retrieve the money.More than 5.5 million Filipinos now use their cell phones as virtual wallets, making the Philippines a leader among developing nations in providing financial transactions over mobile networks.Mobile banking services, which are also catching on in Kenya and South Africa, enable people who don't have bank accounts to transfer money easily, quickly and safely. It's spreading in the developing world because mobile phones
The Happy Rockette and I got our first cell phone a little under two years ago. We held out for a long time, because we didn’t want a monthly bill for something that wasn’t a necessity. Yes, I did say it wasn’t a necessity, and it still isn’t for most people. We all survived without cell phones ten years ago, but that is another story.
We got only one phone and the cheapest plan, 300 minutes for $33 a month through Verizon. Recently our battery died on our phone and that got me looking over our usage and contract. I wanted to see through we had made a wise choice, and in hindsight we hadn’t.
We use on average about 80 minutes a month, which with our current plan works out to about 47 cents a minute. Ouch! Even the expensive pre paid plans are cheaper than that.
With our usage being so low I researched prepaid plans, and was quite encouraged. Last time I briefly looked into getting a pre paid cell phone for myself it was ludicrously expensive. It was obvious tha
By: Patricia HawkeCell Phone Ban in Milwaukee Public SchoolsIts hard to imagine a world without cell phones. Next to the Internet its probably the single most important invention that has affected the maximum number of lives around the globe.

From January 2007 onwards, students in Milwaukees122 schools are banned from using cellphones in classrooms.

PeerBox for J2ME Cell Phones
Bangalore, India is leading the pack to help alleviate their traffic problems using cell phone technology. Traffic in Bangalore is horrible so the Bangalore Traffic Police, Mapunity (developer of geographic information systems and services) and Airtel (provider of telecommunications services) have come up with an urban traffic information system for Bangalore city known as Bangalore Transport Information System (BTIS). With BTIS (lunched last June), real-time traffic information is generated from the cell phone tower logs of Airtel's city-wide network, and made available to commuters to see live congestion hotspots, find directions and plan their travel routes. The entire information system is available through SMS to Airtel customers using a shortcode and to others by dialing a ten-digit number. This live traffic information system is the first of its kind in India. It addresses the growing need of traffic administrators for centralized traffic monitoring and control infrast

While doctors where in the process of an emergency appendix operation the power went out, but by using the light from cell phones surgeons were able to successfully complete the surgery.
Leonardo Molina was the man on the operating table when the hospital experienced the blackout. His brother, Ricardo Molina told reporters that the lights were out for a long time, and that then anesthesia was wearing off on his brother.
The blackout occurred at Policlinico Juan D. Peron, which is the main hospital in Villa Mercedes. A hospital spokesman said, “The generator, which should have been working correctly, didn’t work,” and that “the surgeons and anesthetists were in the dark…A family member got some cell phones together from people in the hallway and took them in to provide light.”
The hospital director, Dario Maurer, said that there was only 20 minutes during the surgery that they didn’t have light.
