Does AT&T Hate The First Amendment?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX680Eq
According to Gizmodo, AT&T (NYSE: T) has modified its Terms of
Service in such a way that could allow the carrier to drop
customers who say things that the company doesn't like. Holy
1984, Batman.
Nokia's Acquisition Of Navteq Makes It A Major Player In Both
Navigaton And The Web
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX7A0E1
So far 2007 has been about the smartphone, and in particular, one
smartphone: the iPhone. But if Nokia's deal for Navteq is any
indicator, 2008 could be the year of location.
Nokia Buys Mapping Company, Pokes Fun At Apple

The Top Five Reasons The Mobile Web Rocks
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX7C0E3
Scott Karp over at Publishing 2.0 last week claimed that,
bluntly, the mobile Web sucks. Karp is a blogger for whom I have
a tremendous amount of respect, but, on this topic, he's totally wrong.
Google Is Really Really Serious About The Mobile Ad Market
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX7D0E4
Google sees its future in mobile advertising. Period. You don't
believe me? Have you been following the news?
Timely, Slick Centro Gives Palm A Shot In The Arm
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX7E0E5
My colleague Eric Zeman already has written about the new Palm
Centro, unveiled yesterday at the Digital Life show in NYC. I
just want to add: this is a great idea on Palm's part, the
smartest move the company has made since it finally bought a
perpetual license to its own OS from its Japanese owner last
year. Whether or not it's enough to save Palm I don't know but
this $99 sorta-smartphone is a timely and slick piece of technology.
A Truly Solid Innovation For The AirCard Crowd
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX7F0E6
Both Sprint and Verizon Wireless each announced versions of the
Novatel USB727 wireless modem. Normally AirCards aren't all that
exciting (they just ain't sexy), but this one has a built-in
microSD slot. Bingo! Instant sex appeal.
Verizon Wireless Doesn't Want To Play By The Rules
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX7G0E7
Not only has Verizon Wireless been lobbying the FCC to change the
open access rules agreed to for the upcoming 700 MHz auction, but
it actually sued the FCC in the U.S. Court of Appeals and called
the rules unconstitutional. This week, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin
showed signs of folding. Is open access going out the window?
Another MVNO Bites The Dust
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX7H0E8
This time it's Disney's family-centric MVNO that's calling it
quits. By the looks of things, it appears as if 2007 is the year
of death for MVNOs. Is the MVNO a doomed business model?
Palm And Sprint Unveil The Centro For Consumers
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX7I0EA
The most striking aspect of Palm's new gadget is that it is
absolutely tiny. Palm CEO Ed Colligan's hand dwarfed it at
today's press conference at the Digital Life show in NYC. Not
only is it tiny, it is positively a consumer-focused device.
Reach Out And Touch Something
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX7J0EB
If you're not already using a phone that has a touch screen, the
chances are higher that you will be next year, when ABI predicts
over 100 million touch screen-based phones will ship. That's
about 1 of every 10 mobile phones.
Palm, Sprint To Announce New Smartphone Together
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX7K0EC
The two companies have invited journalists and analysts to a
special press conference tomorrow a la Apple style to announce
Palm's latest smartphone. Is Palm shooting itself in the foot or
finally on a roll?
Motorola Bows WiMax Chipset For Mobile Devices At WiMax World
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX7L0ED
The new wireless modem will help bridge 3G and 4G technologies
and eventually find its way into electronics, including mobile
phones.
Is Anyone Really Surprised That Apple Won't Support Hacked iPhones?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FX7M0EE
I'm not. And I don't blame them, either. When you buy an iPhone,
you implicitly agree to a legal contract in order to use it. Why
should they support you if you decide to break the contract?
Employers Foiled, News Corp. To Offer Free Mobile MySpace
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FXEo0E1
Whether you think MySpace is a time waster or a truly innovative
social networking platform, it is now going to be available from
mobile devices for free.
Blyk Mobile Finally Gets Off The Ground
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FXEp0E2
The ad-supported "free" mobile service in the U.K. is officially
launching today after a long ramp-up period. Blyk is taking the
MVNO in a new direction with its free services, but is this
business model feasible?
Will Brits Buy Sprint?
http://update.techweb.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBDap0Hi7YQ0G4U0FXEq0E3
Sprint Nextel shares closed up almost 4% today, fueled by rumors
that the No. 3 U.S. wireless carrier could be acquired by U.K.
fixed-line operator BT Group. Normally, such Internet rumors are
worth the paper they're printed on - and Sprint has been the
subject of takeover rumors for months. This scenario, however,
actually could make sense.
