.
A mid-month you count that Vodafone UK's decision to offer downloads of their music without DRM. We said then that would be good if this initiative was extended to other countries shortly after confirming that it would be so. Well, as we have it here: Vodafone Spain will offer a new service for downloading music without DRM through its Internet Flatrate.

From April 7 to all customers to download songs via Vodafone Music are included in this fee, which will cost 12 euros per month and no time limits or connection.

Google copied Apple: eliminates application to use the mobile as a 3G modem

.
Tethering on the functionality of being able to use mobile as a 3G modem, it is something that mobile operators do not like much and they do know. This is why Google has been notified that an application developer for Tethering is a violation of conditions of service of the Android Market, and the T-Mobile, and therefore it has been banned and barred its implementation of the shop.

It is a copy of Apple's restrictive actions that have been so frowned upon in the last year.

If we expected that Android, powered by Google and the Open Handset Alliance, is open ... we really finished the charm! There will be more news soon, sure the answer will come from Android, Google or T-Mobile or the Pulver Order will act once and for all on this issue or the Skype does not work on 3G.

Orange Vegas, the first terminal of exclusive Orange

. We have spoken repeatedly of the terminals Vodafone brand, which for several years as an alternative to offer those seeking a simple and cheap phone. I remember, Orange had not launched their own terminals ... until now, of course. French operator Orange has introduced the new Vegas, a touchscreen phone with 2.4 "TFT, GSM / GPRS, Bluetooth and 1.3 megapixel camera.


Has dimensions of 88.5 x 56 x 12mm and weighs only 80 grams. Its internal memory is 256 MB, but can be expanded with SD cards. Overall, a very interesting phone for anyone who wants a phone without too many complications, especially when you consider the price: from EUR 0 to Orange customers who hire the fusion product and 69 euros for prepaid customers.

Ericsson breaks speed records CTIA

. In what already looks like a real race to see who has the longest phone fast, and after showing a prototype 42 Mbps in MWC09 and say they would trade before 2010, now the Swedish company Ericsson plans to demonstrate its technology HSPA on a 4G network, using a device with multiple inputs and multiple outputs (aka modem).

Nokia remains the greenest as Greenpeace and Samsung

.
Greenpeace again updated its rankings of green electronics companies to version 11 with data from the month of March 2009, where Nokia continues to lead with a score rose to 7.5 compared with the list last November because of his "wisdom in program of voluntary collection of waste.

Samsung also improved their scores, reaching 6.9 (before 5.9) and reached the second position among other things, it "has launched mobile phone models manufactured partially BFR and developed memory chips and semiconductors for halogen-free applications." Recall that recently showed the Samsung Blue Earth is charged by solar energy.

For its part, Sony Ericsson (which was up less than 1 year) cut its rating to 5.7, dropping to third place "for his narrow definition of the principle of individual producer responsibility."

I recommend that you read the full report which specify why they are given that amount of points to see companies and ecological disasters that are Microsoft, Nintendo and HP, among others.

Windows Mobile 6.5 will design issues

Since we saw the first catch of Windows Mobile 6.5 that surprised us with home-style honeycomb that can not be very nice for some.

IDEN Motorola i9 comes to Argentina for Nextel

.
Novelty is not the sympathy of the teams with Motorola iDEN service and Push-to-Talk, and now has just introduced the Motorola i9 in Argentina that had been filtered a few months ago and passed the FCC. Before turning to describe it, let them import the data: Nextel will be available from tomorrow for 1200 pesos (over $ 300).

I was at the event which was presented to a flat interactive (?) As reflecting the company still betting strong in this country where its brand has much more presence than elsewhere in the world with lots of users who are still amazed V3 and the old man: P

Clamshell design of this seemed like a kind of mixture between the V8 (more than anything on the outside) and the BlackBerry Pearl Flip (much like the hinge of the lid) and proved to be far more finite than I expected compared with other cellular iDEN: 15.3mm.

Quickly go over their main specifications: 3.1 MPX camera with flash and autofocus Video recording, 2.2 inch internal display and external 2-inch (both QVGA), stereo Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, 150MB internal memory expandable up to 8GB microSDHC cards and includes a 2GB.

In closing I must say that trying to highlight its multimedia functions, which are not the big thing, but managed well with the top closed, thanks to technology called ModeShift several touch keys with haptic feedback that is turned as if take pictures, listen to music or video capture, among other things.

According to the report sold more than 11.03 million mobile terminals with windows, but 1 million HTC G1 with Android, and 70% of terminals were 3G, which speaks to the clear positioning of the driver of the Smartphones as 3G market.

The press release mentions the expansion plans of the firm both in R & D and production, but I think the pearl goes to the profit of the company, which is 18.8%, which is undoubtedly the envy of most an executive of the industry;)

Samsung Magnet device messaging

.
And repeat several times that the devices oriented messaging (either sending SMS, emails or participating in social networks) with QWERTY keyboards are in fashion and the latter 3 Samsung Mobile who came to AT & T are just another example of this trend.

The first thing we saw was the Impression and Propel Pro, and now it's time to see what the Samsung Magnet would be the cheapest of the three.

This is directly reflected in the few specifications that are known, which are quite poor: Quad EDGE, 2 megapixel camera, instant messaging services and e-mail AT & T, and unfortunately only a humble WAP browser.

Samsung Propel Pro slider with QWERTY keyboard

The operator AT & T still betting devices with messaging oriented QWERTY keyboards, today introduced the Samsung Impression and will continue to arrive.

Photos of Windows Mobile 7

As confirmed by Steve Ballmer himself, need to wait until 2010 to see work on some Windows Mobile 7 device. This does not assure that it will come with Microsoft Silverlight and how it will be seen a little interface.

And now we can see some catches alleged that while I call the photo editing, show us the Windows Marketplace for Mobile application for instant messaging, music player, the application of maps and the home page.

Something to note is that a bit strange in the photo on the main page you can see the battery indicator and volume of the mobile at the bottom of the screen, which can be a bit annoying if it is a touchscreen.

Mozilla Labs. Announced new version of Weave!

.
Interesting new service to Mozilla, Weave Sync, which has just been released beta 0.3, and that allows, as the European software house producer of the famous open source web browser, an almost total synchronization between multiple instances of Firefox, both operating on desktop, laptop or mobile phone.

Weave in practice at present allows you to synchronize bookmarks, history and saved passwords and tab. This is a good idea for users of Fennec, to be able to always have your bookmarks available used desktops, but not only, as it will also help ensure that users are reminded and password, what that, on phone, allows you to save a considerable amount of time. All this in a safe manner, since all the data used for synchronization is encrypted before being sent to the Mozilla server.

It is a service similar to that offered by Opera, with its browser, but at a level of even closer integration between the different areas (mobile, desktop, etc..). Personally, from Firefox users, it is news that I am not sorry at all. But 'the top would be able to accommodate data synchronization on its own servers. You know what ... the safety is never too much;)
