I’ve been very interested in this Femtocell that has recently hit the streets in the last few months. Essentially it is a small mobile phone tower that you plug into your DSL router and it increases your mobile phone signal in the home or wherever you use it.
I see this device is A) incredibly useful and B) a con.
Mobile Wi-Fi arrives as contract laptops tumble as much as 63% Carphone Warehouse will launch a new category of mobile broadband alongside new laptops in a bid to restore flagging sales. The retailer has an exclusive on a new Dell laptop for £400, which is the first in the world with ultra low voltage. It will combine the laptop with ‘mobile Wi-Fi’ using a new credit card sized device that works via an on-board Sim card and allows several devices to use it for data connectivity. Carphone told Mobile it is in talks with two operators to sell mobile. Wi-Fi, which could hit shelves within the next month.

The Galaxy has never been given an official release date. The release date of Samsung’s first Android phone, the Galaxy, is still unknown after the device failed O2’s accreditation test. O2 said the device was never given a release date, but it was widely expected by store staff to have been made available from this week. However, staffers informed Mobile that the device was delayed after O2 testing found glitches. An O2 spokesman said: ‘The Samsung Galaxy is currently going through O2’s customer experience test process and we expect to launch it in the next few weeks.’ The Galaxy is Samsung’s first Google Android phone and is exclusive to O2.
The device offers 8GB of internal storage, a five-megapixel camera, 3G connectivity with Wi-Fi and HSDPA of up to 7.2Mbps, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

I was a bit of a fan of the first Viewty, so much so that my girlfriend got one. She had it for a while and loved it until an drop down the toilet severed the relationship.
So I’ve been following the lineage of the Viewty and have been quiet interested in this newer version. Check out Mobileburn’s huge review and I have attached a couple of videos after the break.
UK business could save up to £31.7 billion* by helping workers fulfill their ideal work/life balance, according to a report by Orange into the impact of universal connectivity on the future of living and working in the UK. The report, based on YouGov research and insights from futurologist James Bellini, reveals that 16% of respondents would be willing to take an average of £6,900 salary cut and 42% would be happy to forfeit their company car if it meant they could live and work in their ideal location. In addition, many more would be willing to forfeit the seniority of their role (27%) or future job progression (25%) to make their ideal work/life balance scenario a reality.
The ‘Connected Britain’ report explores the workforce of tomorrow, and how the profound opportunities presented to both employees and employers through a digitally connected Britain will shape the way we live and work.
A lot of people are up in arms over Apple refusing to allow a Google Voice app on the iPhone. Several high profile users have been blasting Apple over it, and now the Feds are looking into it the entire matter. Apple has even gone so far as to post a letter defending themselves about this issue on the front page of their website. Many people want Google Voice due to the freedom it gives them to (among other things) have multiple numbers all ring the same phone, as well as being able to have their number easily travel with them as they change phone service providers. Considering the massive amount of money Apple is making from AT&T to keep the iPhone exclusive, it is clear why Apple hates Google Voice and is willing to risk a lot to block it for as long as it can.
