re: The New iPhone 3G...eh

Regarding teh monthly data charge, didn't Rogers remove the cap? That was probably more due to consumer pressure relating to ATT not having caps. But there are arguments for and against charging more, which they are for 3G iPhone, for the data plan. Personally I want them to charge WAY less and I'll pay for more features or apps that I consume on the device rather than just the bitpipe that it is today. But again, that's one of many models and arguments for the current data plan scenarios.

all the best!

Regarding the Activesync feature on iPhone 2.0 software, there should be good instructions online for this. But basically all I needed was my domain name, NT username, NT password, and the HP reverse proxy (sync.hp.com) configured on 2.0 and it worked the first time. Good luck Costa Rica!

AT&T should probably charge way more then $30 for the data plan if they want to make a profit. Now I see why Rogers and other carriers are capping the data to 4 or 6 gigabytes per month:

re: Femtocells…v2.0?

Ozzie Diaz — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:49:45 GMT

As a follow-on to this post, there was interesting news from the Femto Forum and NGMN (Next Generation Mobile Network) Alliance to "cooperate to ensure that next generation mobile networks can incorporate femtocells from the very beginning of their deployment rather than integrating the technology after". That's an absolutely novel approach...plan for the new technologies before they become a negative disruption rather than a positive one! [Note: a slight hint of sarcasm is expressed here]

It's how systems are built...architect the systems to accommodate for the scale, services, end-to-end characteristics, spectrum, etc., etc., THEN build the system. The possibility of building wireless systems with dense pico, femto, atto, zepto, and yocto-cells would help us realize the inevitability that EVERYTHING will be connected and we won't expect otherwise!!!

Ozzie...you need to look at the back of a Mac box. It doesn't even need those instructions ;-) Hope all is good

Re: Femtocells on my DSL Line?

Ozzie Diaz — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 02:50:00 GMT

It would be entertaining to try. I'll probably need to apply for an operator license with the FCC, which is highly undesirable. I'll poke around though ;-)

"So should I be negotiating a 'leased line' rate with Verizon to have them connect their femtocell from my home to their core network" Yes! But can you? We'd love to hear what they say if you asked.. The Team http://wirelessspeech.blogspot.com/

Re: Mobile Browsers

AND THE HITS KEEP ON COMIN'! Some news from Mozilla and new mobile UI's they are working on, one for each flavor of device (non-touch and touch screen), http://dougt.wordpress.com/2008/01/23/we-want-you-proto-mobile-uis-posted/. There is certainly a bit of choice presenting itself in the marketplace. Is it too much choice or natural experimentation and evolution until clear winners are left standing?

Yet another mobile browser, Skyfire, being released for beta on Windows Mobile devices, likely WinMo 6/6.1. This was recently announced at DEMO, http://news.yahoo.com/s/cmp/20080129/tc_cmp/205920573;_ylt=A0WTcVXTwZ5Ho9IAexQjtBAF.

Re: Voice is Dead!

Readers may be interested in a recent survey by SpinVox of more than 3,300 customers of Verizon Wireless, AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile and Sprint in North America that has revealed a series of new consumer attitudes about the way voicemail services are provided currently. The research shows that consumers value the ability see who has called and when but also want to see what was spoken and to take action with a single click. Based on this evidence Visual Voicemail is a step in the right direction, but already it lacks many of the capabilities that consumers now desire. For more on the survey see: http://www.spinvox.com/north-american-consumers-want-more-than-visual-voicemail.html

Didstributed Speech Recognition

a_chameleon — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 02:40:00 GMT

Hi Ozzie, DSR is in fact, taking hold & it's well worth investing in. SRI has begun to incorporate it, and there are Nextel phones already emerging with DSR. It offers fairly incredible transcription accuracy and HP has had some remarkable success using it to save device power consumption, as well. I've got a good article in our blog: http://wirelessspeech.blogspot.com/2007/12/distributed-speech-recognition-is.html

Interesting approach. Is this being used in any trials or considerations towards commercialization at the moment?
