The best features are that no data trail is left on the host PC once you’ve finished using it, it’s password secured and data encrypted, and it seamlessly synchronises with your PC so it’s always up-to-date. It can even be used immediately if there’s an emergency and your real PC dies

According to Reuters , Rick Simonson, Nokia’s mobile phone unit chief, declared that the company will sell 500 million phones “across three platforms” – most probably meaning Symbian (new Symbian: Symbian^3 , Symbian^4 etc), S40 and Maemo (it’s said that there will be only one Maemo-based Nokia device in 2010 ). Although it will sell more phones than this year, Nokia’s market share in 2010 will probably remain roughly the same – that’s because the other handset makers (Samsung, LG, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, HTC and so on) will also sell more devices. What’s interesting is a comment made by Nokia’s Simonson, who said that “there is definitely not enough room for more than 4-5 operating systems.” Hm, let’s see: we already have Symbian, Maemo, Windows Mobile, Android , iPhone’s OS, WebOS, and Samsung’s yet-to-come bada OS . A bit crowded, right

And as B.R. Guest’s popular chain of restaurants illustrates with its resounding mobile marketing success, the eatery’s location based mobile ads have driven substantial foot traffic to the establishments. According to the restaurant chain, mobile marketing efforts to drive both awareness and foot traffic to its Vento Trattoria and Wildwood Barbeque restaurants reportedly yielded a 5% response rate or better on most days during the campaign’s run. Mobile advisory firm Mella Media worked in conjunction with B.R.

After AT&T made headlines, the issue is now more or less universal. An FT.com interview now quoted a O2 head as follows: … The head of O2 has apologised to customers who could not make phone calls because the mobile operator’s London network was overwhelmed by bandwidth-hungry smartphones. … O 2 ran into difficulties in the capital during the second half of 2009 as customers with smartphones such as Apple’s iPhone ramped up use of applications that repeatedly pull data off the internet at short intervals. … Even though the iPhone definitely is a bandwidth hog, reports of O2 bandwidth issues were covered by industry journals like Mobile ever since 2008.

This means that Outlook and PI users can finally bring all of that PIM data together in one seamless wireless sync. I use 2Do for my task management (Patrick uses Things), but if you’ve been waiting for a one-app solution for your calendar and task management needs, then this version of PI is likely for you. It’s still expensive for an iPhone app at $12.99, although I suppose that could be seen as a bargain compared to other task-only iPhone apps (Things and ToDo both cost $9.99). You can check out a few more details on the new update over at Gear Diary

The rumor came from msmobiles.com but was quickly shot down by mobiletechworld.com who found an interesting bit of info from xda-developers. if HomeMachineStatus.WM7Device.Value then IsWindowsMobile7Device = true PredefineItem = 1 HomeItemCollection = HomeManager:GetHomeCollection(1) else IsWindowsMobile7Device = false PredefineItem = 0 HomeItemCollection = HomeManager:GetHomeCollection() end It looks like if the device is WM7 then HTC wants to show a specific UI which may be a completely new HTC UI. What do you guys think will HTC need to cover up the WM7 Home Screen or will Microsoft put out some great new UI to revive the Windows Phone brand.

They have done a detailed software and hardware review. Their Verdict : ” The Samsung Omnia II is a strong, light-weight handset with a fabulous AMOLED display that did not deplete battery life as fast as expected and a powerful 5-megapixel camera with LED flash. Applications like Smart Reader, Smart Memo, Swype, and FM Radio work flawlessly and should be included on more smartphones! A few downsides to this device are the apparent lag to load widgets when switching from panel-to-panel, the absence of the ability to list new programs on the Main Menu while in TouchWiz mode, and the inability to switch to landscape mode in most programs. Plus, the abundance of static shortcuts and the lack of live-updating widgets was surprising.
