Is the future pay as you go?

As the economic forecast goes markedly downhill, is it time to finally switch to pay as you go mobile phones? Before you make that decision you should be reminded that pay as you go can be a lot more expensive if you are intending to continue using your mobile phone at the same rate as usual. It may be actually worth considering continuing with one of the cheap mobile phone contracts that are available in the UK at the moment. Another aspect to consider is your broadband needs. It may be cheaper to get yourself one of the latest mobile broadband offers, that come with a free laptop, instead of sticking to your standard broadband internet connection. This could save you money if you are a light user, however it should be remembered that there are fairly strict bandwidth limits associated with this kind of option.

Here Comes Android

Google, in its quest for global supremacy, begins another ambitious project…Android.

Android is a mobile device platform based on the Linux operating system, developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance. Android, a complete software platform and operating system for mobile phones, is slated for release in late 2008. It is as of now still under development, and is designed to run even on handsets with relatively low RAM and processor speeds.

Currently, the platform supports a wide range of wireless connectivity technologies, including GSM, CDMA, EDGE, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. SMS and MMS are already supported, with threaded SMS being one of the most-awaited features. There is also good multimedia support, with the platform able to play various audio and video formats such as MP3, MPEG 4, H.264, AAC, JGP and more.

Of course, the biggest draw of Android is the fact that it is open source, unlike most mobile platforms (Apple’s iPhone being the most notable closed-source platform). Like with Linux, developers hope that the open-source nature of Android will help in faster development, as well as faster and easier bug finding and fixing. The Open Handset Alliance includes Google, HTC, Intel, Motorola, Qualcomm, T-Mobile, Sprint Nextel, and Nvidia.
