So far,we have no idea about how many Wimax markets will the Sprint have, considering that the company expects to have up to 120 million Wimax users later this year.Sprint will keep its steps.The Wimax from Sprint costs a $60 monthly fee and allows users to access to 4G/3G networks.

For some people,they like to buy poor things at cheaper prices,but have you ever think about buying more things with the same price.There is such a thing which is offered by Simple Mobile,the company officially announced that they are going to offer its buyers new wireless plans.

The new plans charge users the same low price but with more features,the unlimited national talk & text plan with 5oMB data transfer costs $50,while the unlimited national talk and text plan costs $40,and the name plan with 150MB data transfer costs $60.Apart from that,all the three plans cost nationwide 3G coverage.

Richard Wong from Simple Mobile says:

“The company hopes to offer users a full features at low price.”

Since more carriers are offering iPhones in Canada(Virgin mobile launched iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS in Canada; Telus and Bell launched iPhone 3GS in Canada), Some smart ones want to make special things.The story here is about Bell, the carrier officially announced that it will offer Mobile TV service for iPhone buyers.This is definitely a great tactic to attract potential iPhone buyers.So,if you are a Bell iPhone user,you can Watch Mobile TV channels include several Live NHL games,Weather Channel,Rogers SportsNet,CTV and CBC News.

If you want to enjoy this Mobile TV service from Bell,you may want to know how much that will cost,firstly,you need to pay $10 for opening the service,then pay $8 for monthly cost.The bad thing is that the device only support 3G network at this moment,however,comparing to other carriers,the prices are very competitive.

You might have installed many applications in your handsets,you may like some of them while deleted some others,but for some you never know who is the developer.The next story we are going to talk about is related to two productive app developers, the Handango and PocketGear.

According to the recently report, the Handango is acquired by PocketGear. Totally, the two companies have made up to 140,000 apps for lots of smartphones, such as the Linux, Java, Windows Mobile, Android, Symbian and Palm.If PocketGear can get Handango, the Pocketgear is able to support up to 2,000 handsets.

Handango’s Alex Bloom comments:

“After increasing its scale, the company can offer related applications to different types of phones on the market at a fast speed rate,besides, the company is also able to help its developer partners and distribution to increase their overall revenues from both paid and free apps.”

Sending messages while driving is a dangerous thing for both the drivers and others, as what we have talked about in the past, more states like New York State banned texting while driving, and in terms of technology,more software were developed to help people avoid texting while driving,such as the DriveSafe.ly app, Textecution app etc.

For now more countermeasures are given by the government,the NHSTA which is also known as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released a “BIG” suggestion.

The NHSTA suggests to ban the texting while driving in all the States in America, besides, the NHSTA also says that the transgressors need to pay a min fee of $75 as well as receive some “Remove” of driving privileges from their license.I think that is a good suggestion, as there are more than nineteen states have banned texting while driving in America.

The year 2009 is over,it is a year we see the damages of international economic crisis.For the mobile industry,the crisis showed us its great power of effecting market.

A recently report from Gartner, Inc. shows that the total sales volumes of cell phones last year reached 1.211 billion units.Comparing to the sales volumes in 2008,the achievement in 2009 is not good at all,in fact,last year is even worse then 2008,as there is a 0.9% decline.

But there is a hope in 2009,the performance of the market in last quarter 2009 is quite good.Comparing to the same time in 2008,there is an 8.3% increase.

In summary,Gartner,Inc. comments:

“Apple and RIM(Research in Motion) were doing quite good last year, they successfully win over market share from other top phone manufacturers, Apple controled up to 14.4% market share while the RIM owned 19.9% market share of worldwide phone market last year.”

Hello people,do you want to follow the most up-to-date fashions?If the answer is yes, then you are a smart guy, and I am sure that you will not refuse the Dolce&Gabbana Fall/Winter Women’s Fashion Show (2010/2011).If you own an Android device or an iPhone, the whole thing could be even better.Because, the Dolce&Gabbana has officially announced that they are going to offer you a live broadcast the Fashion Show, so far as we know that the Fashion Show can be broadcasted on Android phones as well as iPhone.

The live broadcast will be available since 25th February when the first Fashion show takes place, while the second show will be available on 28th February.When the big time comes, you can open the website live.dolcegabbana.mobi and enjoy live broadcasts.

I am not sure how you choose your network service provider.For me,I would like to go with the one which has the fastest speed.

And the next story is about O2,UK and its network.

There are many carriers in UK, but if you ask me which one offers the fastest speed in London, I would tell you that is O2,UK.According to a recently survey, the O2 UK has the fastest speed of opening website via their network. The speed reaches 1.7 seconds while its competitors are 30% slower.

The survey also includes many other tests, such as the speed of loading pages,downloading media files,all results show that O2,UK run the best speed.I remember that back to last DEC,O2 UK improved its network with lots of money,now its seems that the investment is worth.

Nokia is definitely one of the biggest phone manufacturers.Just like many other competitors,the company also wants to reduce the cost of producing cellphones.In order to reach that goal, Nokia officially announced that the company is going to set up cell phone factory in Argentina.As Nokia believe that the cost of manufacturing cellphones in Argentina is much cheaper than present factory.

Nokia has been moving its factories from high cost countries to low cost countries, these kind of movements make sure cheaper price of their handsets,and the factory in Argentina is only a small part of its strategy.Nokia expect that the latest move of factory could reduce 12% of labor cost.

Anyway,it is definitely a great news both for the company and its cellphone buyers.As we know that we did not totally out of the economic crisis,and the Nokia closed Nokia flagship stores in U.S last december.

We believe that nobody likes to be brain washed, maybe I am not so currently, but the “red text messages” are becoming more and more popular in China, especially during the Chinese new year.

The industry and information technology department announces that the “red text messages” is able to maintain a healthy mainstream culture.As you see, that the internet is filled with different kinds of stuffs, some of them are unhealthy, such as the sex,violence etc.As the government,it is needed to lead the maintain a healthy mainstream culture for the people.

We have no idea whether the “red text messages” could be helpful, but it is still worth to take try before the youth lost themselves in modern life.The content of the messages are mainly about social ethics,healthy lifestyle, as well as others.

We have no idea about the competition of network operators in Japan, and now here is a message from Japan,which could remind us a bit.There are three main operators which have successfully controlled the market, and the fourth company which is also known as Willcom, now officially files for bankruptcy:/.

There is no word on the reason of the bankruptcy,yeah,I know the world economy crisis, or maybe it is a reason of the company itself, the Willcom is the only network operator which handle with PHS network.The company reaches 4.2 million users, but now,you see, it will become a big “0″ very soon.

And now Willcom is discussing the financial bailout with Softbank Cop, a big competitor of Willcom.

As what we have reported, the Wobble iBoobs application was just deleted for the reason of “racy content”.And now Apple says that the deleting of Wobble iBoobs app is a very small beginning, as the company is going to follow a new policy.

As a weblog rewriter,I am 100% agree on Apple’s new policy, according to the new policy, Apple will ban more “overtly sexual content”.However, for some of the app users,you know, who love racy content will feel upset.

The new policy is powerful, it is said that even some app includes bikini girls will be removed from Apple iTunes App Store.In that case, the Playboy app will be 100% removed.

let’s say what will application developers do with their apps:).

Just yesterday we have reported the possibility of FiOS Mobile Remote application to HTC Imagio and Motorola Droid. And today we have more information about FiOS mobile remote software from Verizon. It is not the first time when we talk about a TV controller from a cellphone. And for this time, we are going to talked more about the Verizon’s FiOS service.

The new software will be able to support HTC Imagio and Motorola Droid cell phone, and it can connect to the FiOS box through Wifi. The software still uses normal remote buttons, as well as interesting icon for channels. It also allows users to take photos with Motorola Droid or HTC Imagio cell phone and set them on the screen.

Currently, we notice that there are only two cell phones are supported, and maybe Verizon will add more cellphones.

In case, you need some device to scan a paper, and mean while you are not close to a desktop scanner, then you can use your iPhone to do the job as a scanner.

There is new software which can turn your iPhone to be a scanner, the new software is called as Scanner Pro, with the built-in camera in iPhone, users are able to do scan with iPhone, it requires a well-lit area. The software allows iPhone to connect different types of programs, such as MobileMe, Evernote, and Dropbox, after scanning users can save the result in .pdf file. Besides, you can also print the result. But the print ability only comes with the Print n Share version.

The Print n Share software costs $6.99 while the Scanner Pro only costs $4.99.

I agreed that the future cell phones will be more resistant and robust to damage. And they can be taken around, and if you bring the phone on a go, your might lost phone, in that case, the future cell phones, should also be able to survive during that bad situation. And if you are looking for such a phone, then you may need to consider the Samsung Convoy.

The Convoy is a flip cell phone with VCAST and VZ Navigator, a phone book which can store up to a thousand number and name entries ( Even places for notes about person, street address, and email addresses.) 90 megs of memory, Bluetooth connectivity, notepad, world clock, stopwatch, alarm clock, speakerphone, a calendar, a calculator, GPS, a 2.0 megapixel camera, a battery which can last up to four hours of talking time, many games, and a microSD cards.

Besides, the Samsung Convoy is much like the Motorola Barrage, which offers protection against something which is called “salt fog”, temperature variants, shock, dust and humidity.

Anyway, the Convoy cell phone looks like a kind of sturdy cell phone which is more sturdy then other usual devices. However, the device is lack of great features, the phone even do not have FM radio. All in all, the device is a good cell phone, but basic one.
