admin — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 21:12:01 +0000

this is what we’re gonna see in the market. We’re gonna see coming up more of these mobile broadband devices. They’re gonna be dongles. They’re not gonna be cell phones yet. They’re not gonna be, you know, plug into your laptop or your cell phone. Cards, dongles embedded. Right now it’s high prices because of a constrained spectrum. As that new spectrum comes along, the LTE and the YMAX will take that mobile broadband and drive it down and make it a consumer offering. So…thanks. Partridge …

Calling Cards: Technology Used Over the Years

admin — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:14:04 +0000

Making a call to a local or international number via calling cards is just about the most commonplace phenomenon today. However, do you know what technology goes into these calling cards? Of the two principal technologies used in called cards, stored value and remote memory, the former is utilised in prepaid phone cards, which is the most popularly used phone card around the world. SIDA, a European telecommunications company made the first calling card systems in the mid 1970s, but it would take another decade for these phone cards to reach users in the US, and around the world. A pre stored value phone card of the earliest calling cards employed a magnetic stripe to encode information, similar to key card or ATM technology. Some years later came the optical storage technology, which were more sophisticated than the magnetic coding used earlier. Optical telephone cards had physical readers on the cards like lines or holes, which the card reader would scan for balance information. Optical calling cards were widely used by many users around the world. Optical phone cards utilised relatively simple technology, so the disadvantage was that these could very easily be hacked. Due to these security concerns, the optical calling card was slowly being phased out from countries around the world. By the next decade, a new technology was to find implementation in the calling card system, which was the chip technology. First manufactured by the Deutsche Bundespost in Germany in 1986, these chip stored value phone cards quickly became the norm when it came to calling card technology for the next few decades. Although initial concerns were the easy to scratch off programming voltage point in the card causing a security breach, later technology was much more reliable. With modifications to this primary chip card technology, today’s calling cards using microchips are not easily hackable, with the addition of secure coding technology. The other technology used apart from the stored value system, is the remote memory system. This involves a central database, which supplies information about balance, which the card registers through an access number. The company Phone Line launched the first ever, remote memory calling card in United States in 1980. These phone cards could typically be used from any phone with tone mode facility. This definitely was a boost for users because there were telephone cards around that required special card readers along with the phone. The only disadvantage that this type of card professes is the keying of many digits before you can actually make a call. International remote memory calling cards required the caller to dial three different numbers before the call could be connected, an error in any one of which would not allow the call to get through. This process was certainly a very laborious one for the user, and this was the major disadvantage of such a calling card. Today’s mobile phone or landline user can enjoy many benefits on their calling cards. Depending on the telecommunications service provider of such calling cards, the user can pick networks within which to operate, thus allowing for discounted rates as well as superior coverage.

Nokia 5800 and Nokia N97 – Focus on Technology

admin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:10:23 +0000

The world of touchscreen mobile phones is starting to get exciting, as the most recognised face in the industry has brought out not one, but TWO mobile phones: the sexy Nokia 5800 and the unspeakably mind-blowing Nokia N97. Many people are under the false impression that the Nokia 5800 is the first touchscreen mobile phone Nokia have ever made. It’s not. Actually, there’s been several touch-based phones released under the Nokia badge. Beginning with the 7700, we’ve seen a couple of Nokia mobile phones that work by you pressing directly on the screen. They all shared pretty big touchscreens, but unfortunately, they shared something else: they were irredeemably rubbish. Just one of those devices, the 6708, displayed any potential, but that was destined exclusively for the Chinese market, and thus, it wasn’t meant for us in Britain. The mobile phones WE got were, and I use this phrase with much feeling, utter, and complete bobbins. However, those unpleasant memories have all been removed due to the debut of a pair of new Nokia mobile phones, both of which come with touchscreens, and both of which are so much more alluring. . . Nokia 5800 – sound, vision and touch The first phone up is a completely new entrant into Nokia’s Xpress line of music mobile phones, the gorgeous Nokia 5800. This phone is very obviously designed for music and media, as it has a dedicated XpressMusic touch-key which pops up a list of shortcuts to music, videos, the internet, and so on. Then, of course, the Nokia 5800 has a 3. 2 inch touchscreen, to let you use those different media content. Basically, the Nokia 5800 was designed as a teeny handheld jukebox and movie player, and as music phones go, this is just about the sweetest. The Nokia 5800 also has, built-in, a 3 megapixel camera, HSDPA data access and sat-nav, so that it’s a superb all-rounder, in addition to being a wonderful media gadget. Oh, and it has a lanyard to clip on a fake guitar pick. That rocks. However, the Nokia 5800 is very definitely a mid-range device; it isn’t, nor will it ever be, a full-fat top-ender. That position belongs to another handset. . . Nokia N97 – mind-blowing. . . With the Nokia 5800 on track to deliver touchscreen mobile phones to the mid-range market, that leaves a great big gap at the absolute top-end, and yes, there IS a touchscreen mobile phone coming soon to fill that gap: the frankly mind-blowing Nokia N97. This uses the same Symbian S60 Touch interface as the 5800, and crams it into the body of a proper, full-on smartphone. Which means it’s got a massive, 3. 5 inch screen, a flip out QWERTY keypad, and the camera now weighs in at a meaty 5 megapixels. The Nokia N97 is, in a very definite way, destined to be the new flagship Nseries mobile phone, and it really is as high-spec as the rumours had us believe, with HSDPA, GPS, digital compass, and integrated Flash, meaning you get an internet experience like no other mobile phones! Put simply the Nokia N97 is unbelievable. It gleefully relieves itself over other mobile phones and while the Nokia 5800 aims to take over the mid-range, I reckon that the Nokia N97 will totally DOMINATE the world next year!
