Cellphone could be boarding pass, too

European Commission scientists launch first mobile application that uses your mobile phone to track your carbon footprint
mobGAS©® is a new mobile phone application available in 21 European languages that allows users to see how their daily choices impact on climate change. This smart technology, developed by scientists working at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, allows users to see the implications of the choices they make every day, in terms of the three major greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.

Cellphone records reveal new patterns of human activity
The data can also suggests how to monitor the way people behave in emergencies in realtime. For example, a pile up on the freeway causes lots of rapidly moving phones grind to a halt, a few call the emergency services while others call the office/spouse/lovers. Spot that pattern and its a pretty good indication that an event has occurred. Location information might even help to determine exactly where the accident took place.

7 steps to better handheld browsing
Delivering web content to handheld media devices is becoming more and more important, as browser-enabled mobile phones become popular, and more of us want to stay updated whilst on the move.

Mobile internet set for take-off?
The mobile internet is more toll road than superhighway, but the logjam could clear up.

On the face of things there is little reason to be confident that mobile internet will ever fully catch on with consumers. It’s expensive, awkward to use, and lacks the content and functionality of a traditional PC-based browser.

Dating moves from the PC to the mobile
Romi Parmar is hoping it will be third time lucky with 3G Dating Agency, a Clerkenwell-based company using the neglected video camera on 3G phones to launch a secure global dating service. He believes that the increasing availability of 3G phones and the belated arrival of “all-you-can-eat” data tariffs – meaning you no longer need to take out a mortgage to make a 3G call – have boosted the chances of success.

How to make your site mobile friendly
It is a cliché to talk about the rapid growth of mobile devices for phone, chat, texting, etc. What draws far less consideration is the impact of the growing trend toward accessing the internet on mobile devices.

Reuters Mobile Journalism Roundtable: Rolling Out The MoJo, Planning For HD Mobiles
A Reuters reporter will this week embark on an experiment to report the arrival of Tesco in the US with little more than a Nokia N95 mobile phone. The news agency has been using the “mobile journalism toolkit”, developed through close partnership with Nokia, for a couple of months now, but mostly to have TV reporters shoot video for the web – now a text reporter will file to the wire from LA and Las Vegas using the handset and a Bluetooth keyboard.

Ministrene nikkede dermed »ja« til forslaget fra EU-Kommissionen fra i sommer. Det er den såkaldte 900 MHz-frekvens, som i dag bruges til almindelige mobiltelefoner, som nu kan anvendes til 3G-telefoni.

Det giver øjeblikkeligt en 40 procent bedre dækning.

iPhonen er usikker. Hvis man hacker den.
Hvor N95 ofte er lidt træg i det, så er iPhone glidende og GUI’en oser af en potent grafik-chip, der er en generation foran Nokia.

Hvor Nokia tidligere har defineret hvad der er cool UI, så har Apple med iPhone (og iPod touch) redefineret scenen og er bare foran.

Jeg synes iPhone leverer et tiltrængt spring fremad for mobil-branchen. Den er fed – men kun interessant hvis man kan forcerer sikkerheden i den, for dette giver adgang til et fed device… som man måske selv kan holde sikker *host* *host*

Google byder ind på mobilnettet
Google meldte i fredags klart ud at man havde planer om at byde på 700 MHz-frekvensen, og det bliver ikke billigt. Prisen kickstarter på 4,6 milliarder dollars, og analytikere forudsiger at den endelige pris vil blive betydelig højere.

I den senere tid har Google for alvor begyndt at fokusere på mobilmarkedet – blandt andet med lanceringen af Android, som er en mobil platform.

»Forbrugerne fortjener mere konkurrence og innovation, end der er i den trådløse verden i øjeblikket. Uanset hvem der i sidste ende vinder auktionen, er den virkelige vinder de amerikanske forbrugere, som efter alt at dømme vil få flere valgmuligheder end nogensinde før til, hvordan de kan få adgang til Internettet,« siger Eric Schmidt.

Dansk Microsoft-boss: Der er jo intet nyt i Android
“Googles Android tilføjer ikke noget nyt til den mobile platform. Vi kan allerede det, som Google forsøger med Andriod,” siger Klaus Holse Andersen, corporate vice president i Microsoft Danmark.

“Derudover tror jeg, at Google vil få et stort problem med at få operatører og producenter til at benytte platformen,” lyder det fra Klaus Holse Andersen.
