WiFi vs. 3G for Kindle E-Reader(vanity)
Posted by admin / Under 3G Technology
I'm looking to purchase a Kindle Touch E-Reader from Amazon. The Kindle Touch ($99.00) has Wi-Fi connectivity and the Kindle Touch 3G ($149.00) has Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity. Otherwise, they're pretty much the same as far as screen size, battery life, and other features. I'm not familiar with the advantages/disadvantages of Wi-Fi vs. 3G and am wondering if the 3G model is worth the extra $50.00. Does anyone have any advice re: this matter? Thanks.

AT&T Kills Unlimited Data Plans
Posted by admin / Under 3G Technology
AT&T announced today that they are ending their unlimited 3G data phones. As Dan Indiviglio wrote for our site, this is not a bad thing for most smartphone users, who don't chew through anything like the new 2 GB cap on their premium data plan. But it may be a problem for iPad users, several million of whom just bought the things on the assumption that they'd be able to do a whole lot of data-intensive browsing. iPad users don't have contracts; they're allowed to purchase by the month. They're feeling a bit burned, given that the company seems to...

Sweden awards five 4G mobile licences
Posted by admin / Under 3G Technology
The technological and economical development of Scandinavia (including Finland) is today more groundbreking than anywhere else in the world. The investments being made in relation to population size is mind-boggling. Despite a mere population of 25 million inhabitants, the combined GDP of the Scandinavian countries today ridicules that of a Russia often viewed to be a "reborn" super power "on the go" (combined Scandinavian GDP is actually 125% that of of Russia - and the gap is widening!!) But, let's focus on telecommunications here; Five bidders have paid €226 million ($346 million) for fourth generation (4G), super-fast mobile telephony licences,...

Agency bans phones with Qualcomm chips
Posted by admin / Under 3G Technology
Excerpt - A federal agency on Thursday barred the import of new models of cell phones that contain semiconductors made by Qualcomm Inc., because the chips violate a patent held by a rival, Broadcom Corp. The U.S. International Trade Commission's decision represents a compromise between a ban on all phones with Qualcomm chips, as Broadcom requested, and a ban only on the chips themselves, as recommended by an ITC administrative law judge late last year. ~ snip ~

Find Wireless Nirvana in a 3G Network [Legal Technology ]
Posted by admin / Under 3G Technology
The term "3G" proclaims the next revolution in wireless technology. It refers to the much-ballyhooed third generation cellular network services, currently available in the United States from Verizon, Sprint and Cingular. But after all the hype, is 3G living up to its broadband promise? Cellular wireless networks were originally created for voice-only communications. As their popularity grew, cellular network providers began to piggyback data on their networks. At first, this was great for simple text messages, but the masses soon clamored for full-blown Internet and e-mail access. Voice communications over cellular wireless networks has remained somewhat constant over the years...
