09/16/2010 - It is hard to find a phone that surpasses the iPhone in terms of functionality or design. But perhaps you are locked into a contract with a carrier other than AT&T, or you are sick of the dropped calls and poor service that AT&T is infamous for. BlackBerry is the iPhone's closest competition and has quite a loyal following, as well.
Both BlackBerry and iPhone have been around long enough that I probably could not tell you anything you do not already know about them. What you may not know is that Google and Microsoft are both working hard to make phones that will serve your needs better than the two current leaders. If there is anything I learned during my time working at Microsoft, it is that competition drives innovation. We should be thankful that the underdogs do not give up and let Apple have a monopoly on smart phones.
You will soon be able to recharge your mobile wirelessly.

9/15/2010 - Gadget-mad South Korea now has more mobile phones than people, with a growing number of users carrying multiple handsets for business purposes, telecoms authorities said on Wednesday.
The Korea Communications Commission said there were 50 million mobile service subscribers in the country as of this month, more than the population of 48.8 million.
"You may say there are 1.2 million people carrying two phones, but excluding children and those with no phones, the number of multiple-phone owners could be far higher," Choi Seong-Ho, the commission's communication service policy director, told AFP.
