Should CTA operators get to use cell phones?
2009-12-10 09:00:00 The Tribune published an article in Thursday's paper about the prevalence of CTA operators using cell phones on the job.Here is a "Going Public" column about this matter from June.RedEye's Stephanie Lulay took the streets to ask riders how they felt about the CTA's zero-tolerance policy regarding electronic devices. Have you seen an operator use a cell phone? Let me know: tswartz@tribune.com.."On any job, you wouldn't be able to use your cell phone. It's unacceptable. It's the same as driving a car." -- Lindsay Arnold, 29, Lakeview."I can't even text on the job, and I just work in a retail store. It's an important job and they don't need to be distracted." -- Renee Kuhl, 21, Lakeview."I think it's ridiculous...
Acer To Launch Sub 20K Android Phones By Dec 2009
2009-11-30 10:14:00 Acer , a well known name in the personal computer market is trying to increase its presence in the mobile handset market by launching 2-4 Android based handsets in Dec 2009 and will join the Android race in India started by HTC and Samsung. Acer has already entered into the Indian market with 8 mobile handsets running Microsoft Windows Mobile but was not able to get a lot of buyers for them till now. Now it is trying to appeal to a different audience by launching Android based handsets. Most of the Acer Android mobile handsets will be touch screen and priced between 10k to 20k. I guess nobody needs anymore introduction on Android after WatBlog’s extensive coverage of Android. It seems Acer has struck the right chord with its plan to launch sub 20k handsets as a lot of people (including me ) want to try Android handsets and price is the biggest barrier. iPhone paid the price of being ultra expensive in Indian markets but android may not suffer the same fate going forward. As...

Cell phones in the waiting room
2009-11-02 14:21:00 Chicago author Maggie Kast shares her recent run-in with rudeness:I'm standing on an upper floor of a high-tech hospital, lake view out the window, sun streaming in onto expensive furniture, waiting to register for a routine appointment. The receptionist talks uninterrupted on her cell phone while noting my name, checking records, collecting papers for me to fill out and giving them to me. She stops talking just long enough to say,"Return them to me when you're finished," then continues her conversation. Ugh. This is wrong on so many levels. First off, in a health care situation, your personal matters and privacy are at stake here. Does the receptionist's friend really need to hear the name of every patient being checked...

The older brother. What’s his name?” “James Brolin?” “Oh.” “What?” “I thought he had the same name.” “As Billy Gillman?” “No! Josh Groban.” “You thought Josh Groban was in The Goonies?” “No!

Windows phones to be available in October
2009-09-01 22:10:00 If the title makes you think that Microsoft is about to launch a whole new line of self-branded smartphones in October, think again. In fact the buzz is simply about Windows Mobile 6.5, the new touch-friendly mobile OS by Microsoft, which shall be coming to phones in October this year. Perhaps a new strategy by Microsoft is to advertise the devices that run on its mobile OS platform as Windows Phones instead of labelling them as the traditional Windows Mobile phones. Now this might be a good thing in the sense that since most of the rebranded products and services by Microsoft have gone quite successful so far, this one might too. Though we do appreciate the new features in the updated version of Windows mobile OS and that Microsoft has done its best at providing a more touch-friendly experience in the new UI, making one less dependent on the stylus culture. Apart from the touch-friendliness, we expect to see the Windows Marketplace which is a one-stop place to shop for apps, suppo...

Edit video captured by cell phones
2009-08-30 19:17:00 Usually when I want to shoot video, I use my HD video camera. But sometime I must immortalize some magic moments and my shinny and smart HD video camera is at home… Lucky me, always I have a phone with me and my phone has a video camera. The video captured by phone has not such quality like a video camera but what can I do? I cannot take with me the HD video camera in my pocket. I try to find some software to improve the quality of the video captured with mobile phone. Lucky me! I find vReveal by MotionDSP. vReveal can improve the quality of flawed videos with just one click (OK, 2 clicks…). What I really like: vReveal has been specially tuned to run up to five times faster on CUDA-enabled NVIDIA graphics processors. That means you can process video enhancements in less time and have your CPU available for normal everyday tasks. Lucky me again: I have NVIDA VGA! vReveal can stabilize, brighten, and sharpen problematic videos and is uniquely able to increase resolution and to re...

2009-08-27 22:27:00 It use to be you learned to crawl, before you could walk and then run. Well today, while tots and teens begin to become mobile, they're also learning how to use a mobile.

Parents might not agree, but as we all know peer pressure in our formative years becomes the driving force behind these types of purchases, and Mom and Dad more often than naught usually succumb to the demands of their offspring!

2009-07-28 08:00:00 Smartphone sales growth was very impressive in last year and in the first quarter of 2009 too, while the total mobile phone sales dropped around 8.6% globally Smartphone sales surpassed 36.4 million units, a 12.6% increase from the same period last year, Gartner reports. Now increasingly more number of ODM’s and OEM’s are eyeing the smartphone businesses and turning to the smartphone OS’es like Symbian, Android and Moblin, besides Apple’s MAC which is not licensable by other’s. What makes this market all the more interesting is the competition between device manufacturers slowly turning into a war between opensource Mobile OS‘es.

Indian Goverment Bans Import Of Mobile Phones Without IMEI Number
2009-06-19 07:41:00 Indian government has banned the import of mobile phones without IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. IMEI number is used to uniquely identify a mobile device. It corresponds to SSN or PAN number used to identify people.This move will majorly impact Chinese and Taiwanese companies whose phones flooded Indian market.

Isn’t it already tough enough keeping cell phones out of schools?
2009-03-26 21:44:00 Cellular News (www.cellular-news.com/story/36-648.php) recently reported that curing teenage depression may be as simple as letting teenagers keep and use their cell phones. Having a cell phone glued to your ears at all hours of the day and night, at school or with friends, seems to be therapeutic because it is claimed that students communicate more effectively using the cell phone.Perhaps these researchers are of the philosophy that taking cell phones away from students is like taking candy from a baby.In the Cellular News story, “Using Mobile Phones to Monitor Teenage Mental Health,” a study is described in which one’s mental health status is tracked using a cell phone. But the “key” finding is that mental health problems can be treated by cell phones, as the process of monitoring one’s mental health provides an opportunity to express feelings via cell phones – feelings that seem difficult to express verbally.
