Brave New Phone

ET phone home.

Now if he did, he would probably use the iPhone.

Is there anything this new iPhone cannot do? It is a phone, oh yes, but much more. With the release of the iPhone, it seems as if our gadgets and our mindset have finally been pushed over the edge into the abyss of the inescapable high-tech black hole.

In case your name is not already on the waiting list for this must-have, allow me to tell you why it should be. The iPhone functions as a computer, a web browser, a personal movie theater, a music library, a photo management sharer, not to mention it is all hands on - literally.

It has a much-adored touch-screen, so you have a plethora of information at your fingertips. I have got the whole world in my hands ... well, at least World Wide Web.

iPhone.

The iPhone’s resumé is quite impressive, and it makes its owners’ lives very easy - almost too easy. Currently we have already become so dependent on technology to connect us to the rest of the world that the iPhone may escalate our physical isolation from our 3-D world to cyber space.

I am all for technology because without it, we would not be as efficient as we are today. Nevertheless, some people say that computers and electronic gadgets have made us less productive by occupying so much of our time and our imagination.

Either way, we need to remember how to function on our own in case one of these machines malfunctions!

While the iPhone is a truly extraordinary product, we need to retain some independence, value person-to-person relationships and not become too attached and too dependent on devices.

Technology is supposed to uncomplicate our lives, not consume us. These days we send e-mails instead of personal handwritten letters, tap out instant messages instead of placing phone calls, and spend hours alone, in front of a computer screen instead of visiting with friends.

With Apple hoping to sell an estimated 10 million iPhones in the first year, that is a lot of “I’s” who have the ability to form one “us.” All of this techno stuff is fun and convenient but let us not lose touch with our fellow living creatures for these impersonal electronic devices. The iPhone can dial, but you make the call.

New Zegna Jacket Charges Your Gadgets

Where high fashion meets pure geekery you have this little number by Ermenegildo Zegna, a jacket that provides power for your gadgets. This jacket has solar modules around the neoprene collar so that it can charge your iPod or cellphone. The coat will be in stores this November and five hours of sunshine can recharge just about any device. It comes in a bomber jacket or a longer style and will sell for $750.

Better gadgets through nanotechnology

A new arrival at the University of Southampton will work on making smaller, more powerful computers and mobile phones a reality when the new Mountbatten Building opens next year.

Professor Hiroshi Mizuta, who has joined the University’s School of Electronics & Computer Science (ECS), believes that the state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary research complex facilities planned for the new £55 million building, due to open in mid-2008, will allow him to carry out extensive research into nanotechnology.

"The new clean room under construction in the building, the high level of expertise available to me and the possibility of collaboration with other strong groups such as the Optoelectronics Research Centre, and academics in engineering science, physics and chemistry, will allow me to develop more hybrid devices and systems," he said.

Professor Mizuta made a major contribution to the field when he and his colleagues developed a high-speed single-electron memory and a new memory device called PLEDM TM (Phase-state Low Electron-number Drive Memory).

This is a single chip which enables instant recording and accessing of a massive amount of information while consuming very little power, developed when he was a laboratory manager for Hitachi in Cambridge.

Top-down approach to nanoelectronics

At ECS, Professor Mizuta plans to combine the conventional top-down approach to silicon nanoelectronics with a bottom-up approach which will enable him to introduce atomically-controlled nanoscale building blocks such as nanodots, nanowires and nanotubes to make his unique nanodevices.

"We now need a paradigm shift from conventional ‘More Moore’ technology to ‘More than Moore’ and ‘Beyond CMOS’ technologies," he explained.

"I believe that if we adopt unique properties of well-controlled nanostructures and co-integration with other emerging technologies such as NEMS [nanoelectromechanical systems], nanophotonics [manipulation and emission of light using nanomaterials] and nanospintronics [devices that use the electron spin instead of the electron charge for electronics], we can develop extremely functional information processing devices, faster than anything we could ever have imagined with just conventional ‘More Moore’ technologies."

More Moore is a 36-month project started early 2004 and funded by the European Commission that aims to resolve technical problems with Extreme Ultra Violet Lithography (EUVL) technology, which was chosen by the electronics industry to manufacture integrated circuits in 2010 and beyond.

It is named after Moore's Law, a principle determining that the number of transistors on a computer chip doubles every 18 months.

However, this growth in microprocessing power, which has been constant for over 40 years, cannot continue indefinitely, and alternatives are being pursued to address this issue.

Sony Presents Its New Home Theater Receivers

Sony is releasing three new audio/video receivers for Home Theaters in its “Elevated Standard” (ES) line. They were designed to be an interface for all of our gadgets in the living room. The models STR-DA5300ES, STR-DA4300ES and STR-DA3300ES can receive audio or video from different sources and reproduce them with maximum quality.

They include integration with iPod, streaming files from your computer via Wi-Fi, reception from Bluetooth devices and connectivity with other Sony Network Walkman products, using the Digital Media Port feature sold separately.
The receivers also come with the Corteza Advanced controller featuring a technology that upscales all video sources to 1080p via HDMI.

The STR-DA5300ES (US$1,700) features a 120-watt amplifier, and the STR-DA4300ES (US$1,300) and STR-DA3300ES (US$1,000) models offers a 100-watt power amplifier.

Popping Off: A few gadgets to make life even easier

By MARK PATINKIN
THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL

Parade Magazine recently asked readers to come up with inventions we all could use.

One reader proposed brake lights on the front of cars.

Another suggested PIN numbers for credit cards to thwart thieves.

Still another thought up one-way tire shredders for highway exit ramps.

It got me thinking about what else is needed.

It's not easy, since stores such as The Sharper Image offer every conceivable convenience, such as motorized grill-cleaning brushes and air purifiers you wear around the neck.

But I'll try.

My first proposed invention: a remote control that mutes annoying music coming from nearby cars.

If Parade is interested, here are some others:

A beach blanket with raised borders -- like the top of a shoe box -- to keep sand out.

I hate biting into stale cereal or crackers, so I'm picturing a device like the thermometer you stick into a roast to tell you if it's done. Why not a device that tells you if your Frosted Flakes are stale?

Along those lines, I've tried those desktop coffee-cup warmers but after a while, either the cord gets in the way or they just don't do the job with most mugs. That's why someone needs to invent a battery-powered heat spoon.

I could use belts with Velcro underneath so the end doesn't wave in the breeze if it's too short to reach your first loop.

Law of life: When you can't find your cell phone, the odds are it's off, and can't be called. Someone's got to be smart enough to put in a chip that turns the phone back on if you dial a special number.

I would definitely buy a button you could step on under your desk to make the phone ring when you need an excuse to stop talking to someone.

You ever seen Heelys? Those are the kids' shoes with wheels in them. I'd love to see a line of adult shoes that have a "grabber" in the sole so, instead of bending over, you could use your foot to pick up a dropped napkin, set of car keys, or ice cube.

People with teenage sons are familiar with packs of boys stripping the house of food. This is fine, since teenage boys are supposed to be locusts. But I predict a big market if someone offered refrigerators with a locked compartment that needs a password, so the father of the house (the mother would be too noble to do this) could hide a stash of sodas, ice cream or other essentials.

I'll bet you'd soon have enough revenue to be listed on the NYSE if you began marketing plastic separators between the front and back seats of cars -- like those in cabs -- so parents can play James Taylor while the children listen to Ludacris.

You know the "Cone of Silence" in the old TV show "Get Smart"? They need a line of those you could install over office cubicles to be lowered whenever your neighbors are being too loud.

If they can put teeth whitener in gum, why not coffee?

All semi-colorblind people like me would love a scanner telling us whether two socks -- dark blue and black for example -- match.

I'd love to see sensors at four-way stop signs with little green lights telling each car, based on moment of arrival, when it's their turn to go.

Not that I'm admitting I'm distracted enough to need this, but it would be nice to have a pot that starts beeping if you haven't stirred the pasta and its beginning to adhere to the bottom.

But I am admitting I need this one: plates with built-in weighing scales that sound an alarm once the total poundage of food you've eaten passes your threshold of indigestion.

As always, I'm open to further suggestions.

But I'm off now to work on a new dishwasher that warns your cell phone when the latest load is clean but still in there, so you can steer clear of the kitchen until everything is put away.

Intel chips to get into your daily life

Fakir Balaji , Indo-Asian News Service

Jaipur, July 22, 2007

Global chipmaker Intel Corporation is developing a new generation of silicon wafers to make your everyday life simpler.

Looking beyond the world of enterprises and businesses, Intel geeks are working on novel architectures that will make processors with billions of transistors to handle your daily chores, be it personal or professional.

"The next generation of our embedded chips will have a gamut of applications that will take care of our day-to-day activities at home, office or while travelling. Their functions will be richer than what modern multi-gadgets and consumer durables are doing for us at the individual or collective level," Intel South Asia Managing Director Ramamurthy Sivakumar said on "the next wave of silicon technology" at an industry-media conclave in Jaipur.

Highlighting the benefits of convergence of information and communication technologies (ICT) and their multifarious applications in a flat world, Sivakumar said each individual would be a potential customer for the trillion-dollar global ICT industry, as enterprises and businesses have been over the decades.

"We are already witnessing how the mobile revolution is impacting even a commoner and how the power of computing is creating new communities through the worldwide web (WWW) and wireless devices.

For instance, the phenomenal growth of YouTube hosting over 100 million videos a day, Yahoo getting about three billion page views a day and billions logging on to the Internet daily for information, search, chat, mail, games and entertainment indicate how individuals are becoming customers for the ICT industry in a globalised economy," Sivakumar pointed out.

With technology, business proposition and user value as the new mantras, the $39 billion Intel's research and development (R&D) labs worldwide are designing new platforms on which software mounted chips will be able to undertake perfect vision correction, provide instant translation of voice, text and data from one to other or many languages and enable speech recognition.

"As innovation has to touch every aspect of life, it cannot be limited to technology, but should have business value with universal benefit to end-users. Apple's iPod and iPhone are examples of the new mantra.

On the personal front, the next generation chips will be able to take over the activities of daily life such as house-keeping, cooking, washing, shopping and even driving advanced autopilot cars, akin to flying modern aircraft with fly-by-wire and remote-control systems," he said.

"In line with the Moore's law, which has held us in good stead even three decades after it was laid down by our co-founder, we see the power of computing doubling every 18-24 months for another two-three decades, as the next wave of silicon transistors will become part of our existence, implanted in the body or head to monitor health, dietary habits and behaviour," Sivakumar hinted.

Underlining the significance of accessibility and affordability of technology, Sivakumar said while competition and volume growth would make products cheaper, the challenge for all stakeholders would be to bring down operational and maintenance costs to ensure higher performance with lesser power consumption.

"The emergence of wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi and Wi-Max along with mobile Internet devices (MIDs) will make access to products and services not only easier but also affordable, as ICT becomes an integral part of life from individual to enterprise level on a global scale," Sivakumar said.

Gadgets dazzle visitors at IT expo

HCM CITY— Many of the latest information and communication technologies were on display at an exhibition in HCM City last week, the Viet Nam Computer World Expo.

The country’s top ICT company, the Financing and Promoting Technology Corporation, showcased a ‘wireless city’.

Comprising new technologies in education, IT solutions for banking and stock market, and digital content like online games, SMS, mobile phones, Internet Protocol TV, and computers, FPT evoked a wireless but technologically-linked city where residents are served by IT services everywhere and any time.

Hoang Minh Chau, vice general director of FPT, said with the burgeoning technological development and rapid integration, the wireless city’s time would come soon.

Sony’s "full high-definition world" with a super-thin, 11-inch Organic Light Emitting Diode TV which is only 0.3 mm thick attracted plenty of interest. The TV can also be curved with high-definition.

Sony showed off a Vaio laptop with a blueray hard disk, the world’s latest and biggest. The blueray has a file transfer speed of 36 Mbps and capacity of 25 Gb on each side of the hard disk. The blueray has a capacity of four hours of video recording.

Canon, with its slogan "Simplifying work for enterprises", unveiled technology products and IT solutions to assist enterprises in managing their activities.

It displayed more than 100 new products, ranging from digital cameras, photocopiers, printers, projectors, and scanning machines.

There were 26 new digital cameras for both professionals and amateurs, and a multi-function printer with photocopy, fax, scan, and internet access.

Giant US chip-maker Intel exhibited its four-core chip which has a 50 per cent higher capacity than a two-core chip.

Chinese-made Classmate PC, a US$200-300 laptop meant for students, was made based on an Intel chip. Two secondary schools in HCM City, Tran Dai Nghia and Nguyen Du, are set to use the computer for a pilot teaching programme.

"It’s easier to teach students with a computer," Vu Kieu Linh of Intel said.

Taiwanese computer maker Asus surprised visitors with its Lamborghini laptop designed and based on the legendary Italian sports car. It is available in Viet Nam at $3,600. — VNS

Tech gadgets untangle complexity

PowerLinx emerges from legal problems with three new in-home products.

By PAUL SWIDER
Published July 15, 2007

ST. PETERSBURG - When Mike Tomlinson took over at PowerLinx two years ago, he had a mess to clean up. Now that he has put the company's legal troubles behind him, he hopes to help consumers stay mess free while they create multimedia entertainment networks.
"Our reason for being is to make things simple," said Tomlinson, now the president and chief executive of PowerLinx.

Tomlinson inherited a company in turmoil.

The Securities and Exchange Commission charged the company, former CEOs George Bernardich and Richard McBride, and its former secretary and treasurer James Cox, with misleading the market in reports about the company's sales and finances between 2000-04.
Those three officers are now gone and the company came to a settlement last year with the SEC and improved its corporate governance.

Tomlinson consolidated operations but also pared back on activities to focus on a small set of products. He reverted to the core of electronics that use a building's existing electrical system as a network for information. The result will be on the market this year with devices for digital music, stereos and home theater systems.

"I needed to come up with three products this year that would sell," said Tomlinson, who has worked for Pepsi and Havatampa cigars. "My primary goal has always been what can we generate cash flow from most quickly."

TuneDog will be the first to hit stores. It is a device that plugs into a wall socket and connects to an iPod or other MP3 player to broadcast music through a home's wires. Users plug a receiver into any other socket, connect speakers and are instantly listening to their favorite music.

Two other "power line" products are configured for use with computers, stereos or home theater systems. The aim is to make music available anywhere in the house without having to run wires.

"Generally, people don't like to run wires," Tomlinson said. "That's why rear surround-sound speakers are rarely hooked up."

Retail outlets already sell items like wireless speakers, but there is demand for more user-friendly devices.

"Products that allow customers to enjoy music throughout the house are something our customers are interested in," said Brian Lucas, a spokesman for Best Buy. "Many people are investing in flat-panel TVs now, too, and the last thing they want is wires running out of it. They spend a lot of money, so they want it to look good even when it's off."

Tomlinson also has two video offerings. One, SecureView, is a refinement of an earlier product that was a camera screwed into a light socket. A receiver plugs into a wall elsewhere and connects to a monitor. New will be an Internet-compatible version people can use to monitor a camera from outside the building over a Web connection.

The company still sells RearView, a camera that lets truck drivers see behind them using the truck's electrical system, and SeaView, an underwater camera popular with fishermen.

Tomlinson is pitching the in-home devices to retailers like Best Buy and is still working out the final details. He said TuneDog and its variants would likely retail for $169. The security camera will sell for around $130 and the Internet version for about $279, which compare well with competitors out there, most of which are high end, he said.

The idea of moving entertainment around the house is a hot topic in the market, said Steve Koenig, senior manager for industry analysis with the Consumer Electronics Association.

"Being able to create a whole-house high-speed network has been the Holy Grail for some time now," Koenig said. PowerLinx's products "sound promising, if they've solved the problems."

Using electrical circuits for a network is difficult because appliances plugged in change the network when they're used. Wireless systems can have other difficulties, Koenig said.

Tomlinson said his company is hopeful that its new line of products can continue the PowerLinx turnaround.

The company has never made money, but has nearly cut its $5.8-million losses of 2005 in half since Tomlinson took over. This year the company might break even or show a profit if the new devices sell according to projections.

"We're not trying to compete with the $20,000 home entertainment network," he said. "We're going after the mainstream consumer market."

The new Apple iPhone – a blessing or a curse?

The new Apple iPhone is a huge success, but will further research cause it to turn and bite us in the behind?

Source: Darlene Hull, Mom-Defrazzler

(PRLog.Org) – In just a single weekend, Apple Inc. managed to sell over 500,000 units of its new Apple iPhone. The anticipation was huge, and while there were a few minor glitches - mostly resolved now - the general consensus is that they were worth waiting for.

The advance of this micro-technology is creating an amazing dependency on pocket-sized devices, and not just for the techies: stay-at- home-moms, children, even retired grandparents are jumping into the new trend with joyful – and addictive – abandon. We’ve come a long way, baby!

With all this advancement, however, there is still this minor niggle in the back of my brain that is forced to ask, “but is it really safe?” The verdict is still out on this one, with no one so far able to categorically say that this huge increase in brain and eye cancer is NOT related to cell-phone use; that this little hand-held device and the towers that power it are NOT causing an increase in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and that this is NOT the issue behind increased infertility, new learning disorders, mysterious illnesses, or even confused bees that can no longer find the hives they’ve just left.

This new technology will probably have little or no affect on the retired grandparents as the length of exposure is relatively short. However, young children who are growing up with this micro-technological dependency may well be exposing themselves to some very unpleasant risks. Professor Sir William Stewart, the chairman of the Radiation Protection Division of the Health Protection Agency, said: "I don't think we can put our hands on our hearts and say mobile phones are safe. If there are risks - and we think there may be risks - the people who are going to be most affected are children, and the younger the child, the greater the danger."

The cell-phone companies are assuring us that it’s all very safe, to the point where they are now gearing their marketing to younger and younger generations of children, yet they are still putting clauses in their contracts absolving them of any responsibility should there really be issues. And there is also the fact that over sixty people in the medical profession world-wide believe the link between cell-phone use and “mysterious illness” is a big enough risk that they have created the “Freiburger Appeal” requesting that certain precautions be put in place to protect ourselves as much as possible from the effects of the “new pollution”.

Personally, I love the convenience of these new gadgets and can’t wait for the day when I, too, can afford the latest model of the iPhone to replace my much used and much loved iPod. However, I hope that by that time someone has come along with the courage and funds to get to the bottom of the question of safety so that the only concern I’ll have on that day is finding the time to listen to all the great stuff on my new device.

Laying bare iPhone's innermost secrets

Wire Reports

Although most iPhone owners couldn't wait to try out their pricey new gadgets, a few geeks raced to break them apart.

The dismantled phones revealed one of Apple Inc.'s closely guarded secrets: the companies that supplied the chips and other components.

Much like the examinations of other much-hyped gadgets, the iPhone's deconstruction was a mad dash to be the first to post online, with minute-by-minute updates on Web sites. Revelations appeared on sites such as ThinkSecret.com and iFixit.com as well as those of research companies Portelligent and Semiconductor Insights. Several analysts also published their own tear-downs.

Laptops: The new vending trend

By M Azeem Samar

Karachi

The open sale of laptops on footpaths of the metropolis was a strange sight indeed. Either it was a manifestation of immense proliferation of information technology in our society, or an indicator of serious flaws in various spheres of national trade and economy; a disturbing parallel to conditions in war-torn countries. Right after attending a daylong seminar comprising of speeches and eloquence in support of the protection of intellectual property rights of scientists, scholars, and innovators of the country, I witnessed pavement-selling of laptops.

Indeed the nature of such activities on the pavement is undoubtedly detrimental to the causes of protection of intellectual, marketing, and business rights of inventors and manufacturers of the laptops and other major commercial establishments involved in their lawful trading. Ironically, at the seminar I heard numerous novices in the ranks of proponents of the cause of intellectual property rights. After the seminar, I couldn’t help thinking that these experts should witness footpath-based laptop sales.

Surely, this experience would compel them to reconsider their claims regarding intellectual and technological growth in the country. Ironically, the Saddar area site (area in Saddar) where this pavement-trade of laptops was being conducted is not too far from the hotel on Sharah-e-Faisal where the seminar on protection of intellectual property rights took place. The laptop was not the only item displayed by the two vendors under my observation, who were near Madina Market of Saddar. LCD-screen telephone sets, digital cameras, MP3 players, and other digital accessories for computers and mobiles were also on sale.

It was perhaps for the first time that motorists and pedestrians of Karachi saw such a modest, and absurdly reasonable sale of laptops. As expected, these laptops were fairly outdated in comparison to laptops on sale in regular computer markets of the city. Nevertheless, the ridiculously low prices attracted the usual visitors of Saddar market areas.It could well be a debatable point for the planners and managers of our national economy whether or not to encourage such open and unregulated sales of technologically advanced consumer items.

However, further promotion and augmentation of such street computer markets would surely provoke an unfavourable reaction and negative feedback from major business concerns, including multi-nationals involved in the well-regulated and legitimate sale of hardware and software items. The major national and international technology firms, despite being engaged in activities beneficial to the national economy, already have serious reservations and objections over unchecked and pirated modes of selling hardware and software items. According to a senior journalist, the sale of laptops on footpaths should be construed as yet another manifestation of the Western countries’ blatant dumping of second-hand, outdated computers and other technological scrap in the third-world.

He further stated that ‘laptop vendors’ did not represent technological and socio-economic progress and advancement of the society. On the contrary, they were yet another feature of the free market economy; developed and industrialised Western countries were fully allowed and encouraged to dump their waste, outdated material and gadgets in less-privileged, third-world countries.According to Abdur Rehman, one of the Pashto speaking Saddar footpath ‘laptop vendors’, throughout their journey from Vesh market in Afghanistan, near the Pak-Afghan border, to Karachi, these second-hand laptops had not been subjected to any checks or scrutiny by the border, customs, and other law-enforcement authorities. He said that mostly long-route inter-city buses were availed to bring in such items from the Afghan border to Karachi.

He added that he and other vendors like him were used to bringing in 100 to 150 laptops on every journey between the Afghan border and Karachi. He said that previously they had not been examining and checking laptops before buying them in bulk from the open Afghan market. Thus, they met with considerable economic losses on the procurement of faulty computers. However, for some time now they had been properly verifying hardware and software properties of the laptops before buying them from the Afghan open and wholesale markets.

Rehman also stated that the arrival of laptops from the Afghan border market was just another sign of the free Pakistan-Afghanistan transit trade through the ports of Pakistan. The practice of bringing foreign-assembled consumer electronics and other items in Pakistan from the Vesh and other such Afghan markets has been ongoing for the past several decades.

The magnitude of the technological impact of unregulated sales of laptops and other electronic items remains to be ascertained. However, this much is certain that illiterate or semi-literate vendors like Rehman have to acquire considerable knowledge of using information technology tools, in order to decrease risks of business losses incurred due to the purchase of defective items.

Everybody’s Waiting For iPhone

Apple has not yet released its new iPhone, but it has already attracted attention of millions of smart phone lovers, industry rivals, press and general public.

Nowadays there are dozens of cell phones of different shapes, colors, functions and interesting gadgets, but non of the existing phones make such a buzz as the upcoming iPhone did.

Everybody’s waiting for iPhone’s June 29 release and everybody is full of interest to find out if the smart phone is that perfect as Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs claimed.

Analysts don’t stop guessing what makes the iPhone so popular and long awaited. Meanwhile the other cell phone manufacturers, who are in the market for many-many years and have released lots of great phone models, are angry that the products they release don’t make such a buzz. The industry rivals are considering of Apple’s marketing tricks that make public strongly believe in its products.

iPhone will cost $499 or $599 depending on its configuration. There are lots of smart phones in the market that cost less than $100, but customers are still willing to buy Apple’s products.

Apple is already a well trusted manufacturer with its Mac computers and iPod music players, maybe this is why public is already sure that Apple will provide mobile phones with better quality.

What market analysts say about iPhone, is that it is not the first smart phone that is a combination of several gadgets all in one. But it is the first to be so easy to use.

iPhone new touchscreen instead of a traditional keyboard makes it very easy to use the phone’s features. A user doesn’t need to go through boring step of menu to find what he looks for. Only a single touch will be enough to find what you’re looking for.

iPhone has everything that other smart phones have, but its advantage is that it is very easy to find the things you’re looking for. You can just touch the photo icon on the touchscreen and it will open your photo gallery. Missed call and recent call number are also very easily accessible.

iPhone has a new feature of voicemail that enables a user to look through received voice mails not in the order they are received. You can easily pick any of the messages from the list and listen to it without going through all messages.

Mobile phone users will be able to use a built in Wi-Fi internet to surf the web. All web pages will be able to open on iPhone’s large screen. Google Maps and YouTube video sharing are all coming with the phone. YouTube users will be able to log in using their existing accounts and share/view video files.

So analysts think that iPhone is very popular because of its easy to use software that enables lots of features for a user and makes them easy to access.

AT&T is the official service provider for the iPhone and it has already spent huge amount of money to improve its network services and to provide with better internet access. It has also hired about 2000 more employees for the first week of the phone release.

Analysts predict lots of cell phone users to pay extra money and cancel existing contracts with mobile phone service providers and to obtain new contracts with AT&T and get the desired iPhone. by Ruzan Harutyunyan for HULIQ.com
