The K510 raises the bar a bit with a 1.3-megapixel camera and a screen that offers more colors but is the same size as the K310. It raises the ante for onboard memory to 28MB and adds Bluetooth 2.0. Both are the same size, about 4 inches tall and ¾-inch thick, and are capable of seven hours of talk time in 360 hours on standby. Then there's the K530 clamshell phone, also with 2 MB of memory and adds a Memory Stick Micro slot. It has the same 128x160 display as the K310 with a monochrome screen on the outside. All three of these phones will ship during the next quarter. iLoad-c Delivers Wireless Music Directly to the iPod Nano
When it comes to "feeding" the iPod, the folks at Wingspan are the Evangelists of the "shortest distance between two points" theory. Today Wingspan revealed a video demonstration of its iLoad-c, a gadget that utilizes the music stores proliferating on cell phone networks, to download music directly to the Apple iPod- Nano, without using a computer. iLoad-c clamps onto a Nano and then connects to your cell carrier's music store to download the music directly to the Nano. Wingspan will provide the device that is initially compatible with the Verizon, Sprint/Nextel, Cingular and T-Mobile networks and will shortly begin discussions with Apple and others to enable the WiFi capability within the device. iLoad-c is planned for release by mid-Summer at a retail price of $199. Wingspan's other announced devices include iLoad, a device that copies CDs to the iPod- without using a computer and iLoad-v, a device that connects to a cable or satellite TV boxes and records video and music onto the iPod without using a computer.........

If you provide calling cards for kids or employees to get in touch with you, be sure you're purchasing from a reputable company. Some phone cards are notorious for their busy signals. When you call in, you get a recording that indicates the circuits are all busy and that you should try your call again later. It's not going to do much good to page your employee only to have him or her unable to get a line to call in with the phone cards. Think it's going to be too much trouble for your teen to keep up with a phone card? If he or she can memorize the phone card number, parents can retain the phone card and simply recharge it periodically to be sure the teen has the ability to stay in touch. If you're consistently recharging the same phone card, there'll never be a need to learn more than the one access number. If you're planning to do this, be sure that you purchase the phone card from a reputable company that will be around for you to continue recharging the card over a period of time. For those who hang on to their phone cards themselves, there are some real advantages. Some public phones have the ability to read the cards, eliminating most of the hassle of using pre-paid phone cards......... Posted by: Ashley Permalink Source Film Festival Of Cell Phone Cameras

Companies in Asia have already introduced cell phones that can do everything from buying groceries to purchasing movie tickets; in Tokyo, commuters can board trains by waving their phones over a sensor in turnstiles, The Journal reported. U.S. operators are following companies in Europe and Asia in upgrading networks so they can handle more than just voice calls, The Journal said. Before A U.S. service can be launched, Schaumburg, Ill.-based Motorola must reach a deal with a wireless carrier and must persuade retailer to participate, possibly requiring store equipment upgrades, The Journal said. Motorola says it is in "advanced discussions" with several phone companies and also is talking to cell phone companies in Asia, Latin America and other regions about the service, The Journal said.
