IS MORE REALLY BETTER?

Ever changing wireless technology has resulted in devices packed with features. You can get everything from a MP3 player to a camera. Everything from web browsers to text messaging. Everything from GPS navigation to well, who knows. The real question on the table is how much is enough?

The reality is that cell phones are often not just cell phones. It is important that we be reached when necessary. It is important that we have a cell phone for security and safety reasons. It is critical that a 911 phone call can be made in an emergency to increase the likelihood that we or someone nearby can be saved just that much quicker. But once all the practical issues have been accomplished, what’s wrong with a little extra extra. I enjoy being entertained with music while riding on a train to the office. I like knowing that if I get lost (and I often do) that the GPS navigation feature will keep me from wandering too far off track. I like knowing that with a few keystrokes I can notify my family where I am and when I’ll be home.

Personally, I celebrate the advancements. It’s great that before I even know I need it the cellphone manufacturers have thought of one more upgrade that eventually I just can’t live without.

And, I know that when I trade up to the next, greatest invention there is a reasonable, financially responsive way for me to get rid of the older, slower not as great unit.

Going Mobile: The Google Phone

Rumors have run rampant for months now that search engine giant Google was
entering the wireless arena. Well, today we now Blog a glimpse - probably not
the full picture - of Google's vision.

More than 2 years ago Google acquired a start up company that has been the
vehicle for their entry into the wireless market. This venture created the
newly announced software - Android - which is expected to change the
landscape of the wireless industry. Google, along with its many
partnerships in this new adventure, created OHA (Open Handset Alliance) to
launch the new mobile software. Sprint/Nextel and TMobile have agreed to be
service providers, domestically. Several international carriers have also
signed up. Motorola, Samsung, HTC and LG have agreed to use Android in some
- not all - of their phones.

The Bottom Line - the software will be free - and is expected to be released
midyear 2008. But, to use the software consumers will need to purchase new
handsets. Android is not designed for existing handsets.
