“When You Get to Mount Everest, Call Me on Your Mobile”
This is what your friends will be telling you next time you scale the peak. This is because China Mobile has contracted with Huawei Technologies to set up a solar-powered GSM base station there by the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The base station will link to the rest of the world by satellite.

Be sure to upload pictures of the summit to your Facebook account through the mobile web…

Verizon’s Voyager: Thank God Almighty, We’re Free at Last (to Browse)
Verizon has finally seen the light: it no longer seeks to limit mobile web surfers to a few web sites of it partners. With the new Voyager phone (made by LG), you can go anywhere you want on the web.

Human beings want to be free, and that goes for the humans who browse the Internet as well. Thou shalt know Verizon and Verizon shall set you free.

The Voyager has a physical keyboard as well as a touch screen, which one might say puts it ahead of the iPhone. And of course you have to surf using Verizon’s 3G wireless broadband network, but so what. IMHO Verizon is getting real and moving in the right direction!

A Flash Player For Your Mobile Phone
How many times have you been frustrated that you can’t view a Flash presentation on your cell phone? 10? 20? 230?

Your agony has come to an end.

Adobe has come out with the Flash Lite 3 Player that solves the problem. It works with several mobile operating systems, including the Symbian OS of Nokia, Qualcomm BREW 2.x/3.x and Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.

Can’t wait to get it down to my Nokia N73!!
