we have been talking on and about phones and mobile technology for a while.....and some of us dont even know about all this when we talk all day.....yet we do a lott of bakar on phone.....personally speaking I dont like to talk on phone/mobile as much as I did a while ago.....this internet and mobile dependency has turned us merely into a crapp.....sittting all day doing nuthing productive, leading to what I call bumm soars....hoooking on to "n" no of social networks.........and chatting..hey did someone send me a scrap on Orkut....ooh i poked that gurl on FBook...did she respond.....suchaa waste...:o
Yet.....I m here to talk about the technology on our fingertips....lately I used my cell phone to connect to internet thru bluetooth.....anywhere anytime...credit goes to Airtel OFFICE....where u get unlimited internet usage by connecting to GPRS @ RS 500/monat...but hey wait...what the heck is GPRS....we are in a age where mobile operators and service providers and turning to EDGE (since 3-4 years) and even 3G now.....one of the players iPhone (AT & T formally cingular) soon will be out using 3G in May/June 2008.....besides Samsung Instinct has been usnig 3G already (which is sleeker than iPhone) has a much larger touchscreen (3.1 inch, 240x432 pixels) cheaper than iPhone, costs around $ 300...though not as kool as OSX operating system of using 2 fingers for zoom in/out.....and of course much less storage....uses sprint with $ 100 subscription......
but whats the point ?
...Is it really necessary to carry a laptop now....where you can get even faster browsing on our fingertips...anytime.....
Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) is nuthing much but generally 2.75G...and 3G is third generation of mobile phone standards....we just need to know that these technologies are meant to transfer the data packages wirelessly in a faster and efficient way, In nutshell...allows faster web browsing wirelessly
In terms of speed, 2.5G can offer Web access at a rate of between 144 and 384 kilobits per second, Verizon Wireless’s 3G, EV-DO Rev offers transmission rates of between 500 kilobits per second and 1.4 megabits per second....so if you want a video conference on phone....we are rite here in the "AGE"...
are we somewhere closer in India ??
