September 2008 marked the introduction of the T-Mobile G1 Android, Google’s answer to the I-Phone. T-Mobile is the first cell network carrier to offer Google’s Android-powered cell phone. The Android is available only to T-Mobile customers across 2 continents.

Google users, and who these days isn’t, will be glad to see all the Google incorporated tools that the Android offers, including Google Maps Street View, Gmail, and YouTube just to name a few. Customers can access the Android Market and find applications suited to their lifestyle and needs.

On December 8, 2008, Rogers announced its newest model, the Blackberry Curve 8900. This new Blackberry smartphone is but one of a complete lineup of smartphones on Canada's most reliable network.

This new curvy creature packs a lot of life into the thinnest and lightest QWERTY Blackberry yet. Packing quad-band EDGE support with Wi-Fi and GPS this little guy delivers with full force.

Rounding out the Curve's geek qualities are a 512 MHz next-generation processor and a brilliant 480x360 high resolution color screen.

Construction workers, deep sea fisherman and more, all professions that rely on their cell phones to work under extreme conditions and to continue to work if dropped or covered in dust.

American's are cutting back everywhere they can during this time of economic woes, everywhere that is except on their cell phone usage. Offering a cell phone with no long term contract is one way to stay in the game during this time.

Amazon has launched its own application for browsing the Amazon catalog online. This amazing free Amazon Mobile application is available at the iTunes link online. While this may seem a bit redundant at first since Amazon already has an iPhone version of the Amazon site, users who install this free application will see dramatic speed increases in using Amazon with their iPhone.

This does explain why the iPhone's Amazon application Mazo was not accepted by Amazon, the online retailer was busy getting its own application ready.

The Blackberry 8020 is the thinnest Blackberry phone available. It is available in a blue color at the moment. The Blackberry 8020 strives to sync style and substance, with the phone catering to the entertainment needs as well as professional needs of an individual.

Although this may seem like old news it is something that you need to know about if you are not a Verizon customer. Verizon has created a partnership with V CAST Music and Rhapsody to bring customers a lot of music.

If you are driving through the state of Washington you need to know about this new law, especially if you have a tendency to speed. Starting in July of this year, a new law requires everyone to use hands free devices because of the dangers of talking on the road.

If you have been reading this blog for any length of time then you know a little about the Interoperability Solution because we talked about it before with law enforcement programs.

This network lets everyone communicate through phone, radio, or email during a crisis or an emergency no matter what communication system they use. There is no problem with incompatibility because Verizon has figured this out.
