For Apple watchers, next week will — if rumors are correct — bring a host of reasons to rejoice.
The sold-out Worldwide Developer Conference, or WWDC, happening June 9-13 in San Francisco, is widely expected to be the venue at which company CEO Steve Jobs unveils a second-generation iPhone, a panoply of new applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch, a new MacBook Pro and the next upgrade to OS X, codenamed "Snow Leopard."
Developers wishing to release software applications for the iPhone and iPod touch for free are being encouraged by Apple to charge a fee instead, according to AppleInsider.
People familiar with the iPhone Developer Program initiated in March note that companies and individuals approved for the program are being assigned a liaison, or "development partner," who serves as a resource, offering advice and gathering feedback on plans for applications that will eventually be submitted to upcoming App Store for approval.
The guys over at nokiaaddict.com have managed to get some hands on time with the latest Nokia Bluetooth Headset the Nokia BH-703. Sounds like a good solid great looking headset except the questionable ear clip which doesn’t appear to be stable enough to keep it securely on your ear.

As I am sure you have noticed the site has been going through some improvements recently and we have just had our logo completed. I am very happy to say that it has turned out way better than I had imagined and full credit to J Doss for his excellent work. A few weeks ago I had never even crossed paths with J but thanks to the power of Mobility Today and Twitter we have become good friends, he showed me some work he had done for someone else totally by accident and as soon as I saw it I knew he was the guy to help me out with the logo.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to J for all the hard work he has put in to help us out here at mobile tech addicts and there are still a lot more improvements to come in the future to make mobile tech addicts a site you will hopefully want to visit again and again and leave comments and take part in the blog community we are trying to build.
Once again thank you to J and all who visit the blog, if anyone wants to contact J to discuss any graphic design work or blog design you can reach him via twitter at www.twitter.com/jcjdoss
Research from Microsoft reports that less than half of UK companies are interested in letting staff work remotely, a drop of 10 per cent since last year, as companies become more concerned about their future.
The research polled 1000 companies, of which 13 per cent admitted that any kind of remote working was actively discouraged and only 10 per cent of staff feel they have the freedom to work remotely.
This used to be known as "home working" or "tele-working", but in these days of Windows Mobile and small, cheap computers Microsoft would like us to use the term "mobile working" or, if absolutely necessary, "remote working".
