8 Mobile Technologies to Watch in 2009, 2010

Analyst firm Gartner has just released a report that highlights eight up-and-coming mobile technologies which they predict will impact the mobile industry over the course of the next two years. According to Nick Jones, vice president and analyst at the firm, the technologies they've identified will evolve quickly and will likely pose issues that will have to be addressed by short term strategies.

The eight technologies identified include the following:

Bluetooth 3.0

This is one of the no-brainers on the list. The Bluetooth 3.0 specification will be released this year and devices will start to hit the shelves by 2010. At this point, it's expected that the 3.0 spec will include faster speeds, reportedly transferring files at 480 megabits per second in close proximity and 100 megabits per second at 10 meters. It will also feature an ultra-low-power mode that Gartner predicts will enable new peripherals, sensors, and applications, such as health monitoring. The technology will be backwards compatible, allowing old devices to communicate with new ones, so there's no reason for it not take off in the upcoming years.

Mobile User Interfaces + Mobile Web/Widgets

Mobile user interfaces and mobile web/widgets were listed separately, accounting for two items on the list, but we think they can be lumped together. They all point to how mobile computing is rapidly becoming a new platform for everything from consumer mobile apps to B2E (business-to-employee) and B2C (business-to-customer). (Gartner did not include B2B on their list.) Modern day smartphones like the iPhone, Android, Blackberry, the upcoming Pre, and others deliver better interfaces for browsing the web, thus making it accessible to more people. Widget-like applications, including those that replicate thin client technology, will become more common especially in B2C strategies. Yet the mobile web still has challenges ahead. For example, there are no standards for browser access to handset services like the camera or GPS, the report notes.

Leaked Nexus One Year Plan

The Google Nexus One is expected to be launched at event on Tuesday January 5^th.

The tips appeared at Gizmodo website that Google will sell its forthcoming unlocked Nexus one phone for $530 with no contract and $180 with 2 year mandatory contract. However, along with this info, Tipster also provided further details about the plan. It will cost monthly $39.99 for basic service and total of $79.99 if Text and Web included. Individual can keep five phones with one Google account and phone will be sold exclusively from Google website.

MWC 2008: DoCoMo fitness handset measures halitosis and more

Ashley was introduced to the DoCoMo prototype fitness handset at MWC 2008 today. It's a body-conscious phone which can measure heart rate and body fat or count your steps with an integrated pedometer. But Ashley's favourite option was the halitosis - or bad breath - measure. He might be wishing he'd gone for heart rate...

MWC 2008: Toshiba Portégé G810 is announced

Toshiba's Portégé range has a new handset addition in the form of the G810, a super slim touchscreen designed for business users. 



The Windows Mobile 6 handset comes with the full complement on Office Mobile apps, push email and the like, and there's HSDPA and HSUPA support so browsing and downloading ought to be a speedy process.

In other news, there's a 3 megapixel camera, Windows Media Player Mobile and a 65K colour screen for a decent, albeit fairly average, multimedia experience. On top of that are the usual suspects: Bluetooth, WiFi and microSD card slot for memory expansion of up to 4GB.

Key differences

The 1000D is designed to fit into Canon's model range beneath the 450D, which explains much of why the 450D was such a step up from its predecessor, the 400D. In many respects, the 1000D is still a step up from that model, with remarkably few compromises made to keep the costs down.

Nokia S60 N97 mini,wonderful and Attractive

How does the iPhone compare to sibling site NokiaExperts.com’s two platforms, trusty Symbian S60 OS as seen in the N97 mini and the next generation Maemo OS of the N900? That’s the question I’m looking to answer in TiPb’s first week of the 3rd annual Smartphone Round Robin

I’ll confess from the start that I wasn’t terribly familiar with Nokia’s platforms coming into this review. They dominate the rest of the world, of course, but for a variety of reasons they haven’t made much of a dent here in North America yet. Lucky for me, the SPE network has reached across the pond to Seattle (hey, there must be ponds between Montreal and Seattle!) to bring Matthew Miller to the table this year. His tremendous knowledge and enthusiasm — along with the incredible help I received from the NokiaExperts community — are the only reason this review was able to happen. So to him and to them; thanks.

(Speaking of the NokiaExperts community, remember you can still jump on that thread and each day you reply, you’re entered to win your choice of Nokia smartphones, including the two reviewed below!)

Now let’s get it on… after the break!

Hardware Design

Nokia is often — and rightly — praised for their hardware. Heck, any company that can make stainless steel smartphones and still get great radio reception knows the
