- Use your cell phone as a modem
This week we’ll turn a cell phone into a modem that will get you online even when there’s not a wifi hotspot, landline or ethernet jack in sight.

- Report says camera phone use will decline over five years
InStat: “Only a narrow segment have interest in multimedia features and camera phone use will see a decline.”
Alan Reiter: “If In-Stat really believes the use of camera phones will decrease during the five years, it seems completely illogical.

- Mobile music services 85% overpriced
Strategy Analytics: “Our research suggests that users are willing to pay a premium of around 35% for the convenience of downloading tracks to both their wireless devices and PCs – subject to reliable network performance. In our view, the current 100 to 150 percent premiums charged by the main operators make adoption of these services highly unlikely.”
