Is the iPhone getting Binged?
Posted on January 20, 2010 | No Comments
It seems that Apple may be inviting Microsoft's Bing into the iPhone, at least according to BusinessWeek. In what could be some sort of bluff by Apple, Microsoft is apparently in talks to make Bing the default search engine on the iPhone, supplanting Google's current position on the phone deck.
This does not mention if they're moving away from Google Maps and YouTube, but by giving Microsoft the default search spot Apple could get a bit more revenue from traffic thrown at the provider.

Need to boost your iPhones volume? Grab a cup.
Posted on January 14, 2010 | No CommentsThere are hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of D.I.Y articles on the internet, some more useful than others. I read maybe a dozen or so a day, solely for the sake of expanding my knowledge bank of obscure solutions.

Sprint lops another $10 bucks off their WiMax service
Posted on January 13, 2010 | No CommentsCurrently only supported in around 30 cities in the US, Sprint’s WiMax service (as powered by Clear) isn’t exactly widespread. It’s a great service (in theory) and likely to pick up some fans as it rolls out to another 50+ markets by the end of this year – but for the time being, it’s probably [...] -

Unfortunately, all the reassurances in the world that something “shouldn’t happen” doesn’t help cool [...] -

Toshiba works on instant voice translation software for cell phones
Posted on January 6, 2010 | No Comments
It makes a lot of sense, but it seems to be hard to realize: Using the cell phone for instant voice translation of basic sentences whenever you're in a foreign country. But Toshiba is one of the companies working on this, and apparently they're almost ready to offer a decent solution.
Their translation software, in its current iteration, enables cell phones to interpret between English, Chinese and Japanese. Toshiba says that the database, used on their TG01 "smartphone" (pictured on the left), for example, boasts a database of 30,000 words spoken in each of these languages. Toshiba optimized existing PC software for use in cell phones, which obviously have less processing power.

T-Mobile bumps their entire 3G network up to 7.2Mbps, 21Mbps coming soon
Posted on January 5, 2010 | No CommentsT-Mobile might have been a bit late off the plate in rolling out their 3G network compared to the competition, but that gave them one small advantage: foresight.
