		<description><![CDATA[Verizon&#8217;s multi-billion dollar plans to purchase mobile spectrum from US cable companies is under threat after rival network T-Mobile appealed to the FCC to block the deal. Verizon agreed to pay $3.6 billion to buy more of the mobile airwaves in December, in a deal which involved Comcast, Cox Communications and Bright House Networks. However, T-Mobile, still reeling from the collapse of its planned merger with AT&#38;T, thinks the deal will dampen competition by giving Verizon an &#34;excessive concentration&#34; of the in-demand mobile spectrum. It has filed a complaint to the Federal Communications Commission saying the purchase would allow Verizon &#34;to accumulate even more spectrum on top of an already dominant position, while checkmating crucial avenues for growth of its smaller competitors.&#34; Boot on the other foot T-Mobile&#8217;s view that Verizon is threatening fair competition in the mobile industry comes in direct contrast to its own struggles with anti-trust bodies in recent times. T-Mobile and AT&#38;T lobbied to convince regulators that its merger would not dampen the ability of its rivals to compete with the proposed super network. That fell through in December 2001 when AT&#38;T walked away from the deal following the widespread opposition. T-Mobile has to hope that the FCC takes a similar stance, this time in its own favour.

		<description><![CDATA[Wi-Fi Direct: everything you need to know The world is falling out of love with cables, but the Wi-Fi we know and love isn&#8217;t always the best way to connect devices. Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if you could effortlessly connect Wi-Fi devices without messing around with access points and lengthy passphrases? That&#8217;s what Wi-Fi Direct promises. Wi-Fi Direct is a proper standard It comes via the Wi-Fi Alliance, the global industry association in charge of certifying Wi-Fi kit. Wi-Fi Direct is Wi-Fi without the internet bit The idea behind Wi-Fi direct is that simple tasks need simple connections. For example, you might want to print from your laptop or smartphone to a wireless printer, or to share images with someone else in the same room, or to transmit video from your phone to your TV. None of these things requires an internet connection, but they do need to connect &#8211; to the printer, or to the other person&#8217;s hardware, or to the TV. With Wi-Fi Direct, that bit&#8217;s easy. Wi-Fi Direct can have the internet bit too If you have a Wi-Fi router connected to the internet, you can connect to that too. Wi-Fi Direct doesn&#8217;t need a wireless access point Wi-Fi Direct devices can connect to each other without having to go through an access point: they can establish ad-hoc networks as and when required, letting you see which devices are available and choose which one you want to connect to. If that sounds very like Bluetooth, that&#8217;s because it is. Wi-Fi Direct uses Wi-Fi Protected Setup You don&#8217;t want any Tom, Dick or Harriet to be able to connect to your stuff &#8211; for example, you might not want to see what the neighbours are beaming to their TV on your TV &#8211; so Wi-Fi Direct uses Wi-Fi Protected Setup [PDF] and WPA2 to prevent unauthorised connections and keep your communications private. There are two ways to establish a connection: with physical buttons &#8211; &#34;press the button on gadget X and then the same one on gadget Y&#34;, or with PIN codes. Wi-Fi Direct knows what&#8217;s nearby Wi-Fi Direct includes two potentially useful things: Wi-Fi Direct Device Discovery and Service Discovery. Your device doesn&#8217;t just know there are devices available; if developers have enabled it, your device will know what kind of devices are nearby and what&#8217;s on offer &#8211; so for example if you&#8217;re trying to display an image, you&#8217;ll only see devices that you can beam images to; if you want to print, you&#8217;ll only see devices that are or that are connected to printers. Crucially this can happen before you connect, so you don&#8217;t waste any time trying to connect so something that doesn&#8217;t do what you want it to do. Wi-Fi Direct uses the same silicon Manufacturers don&#8217;t need to add extra radios to their kit: the idea is to have Wi-Fi Direct as part of the standard Wi-Fi radio. It&#8217;s backwards compatible too, so you don&#8217;t need to throw out your old Wi-Fi-enabled...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Best cell phone: Overview What is the best cell phone in the United States? Our verdict on the best cell phone for the US is constantly updated. Sometimes choosing between two phones is easy. Just look at the specs and it becomes woefully clear that some phones (even those positioned directly against one another) aren&#8217;t created equal. But most the time it&#8217;s not as easy as just reading numbers. A phone is something you&#8217;ll use everyday for two years (if you&#8217;re lucky). It needs to be durable, adequately future-proof, and feel right in your hand. So where do you find this information? Where do I begin? Our pre-release list of new mobile phones is a great spot to start, but if you&#8217;re craving more, we&#8217;re happy to oblige. Because here we have our continually-updated comparison of the top 20 best cell phones you can get in the US. While we&#8217;ve provided you with a ranking as well as a brief overview of every phone and why we love it, feel free to check out our incredibly extensive mobile phone reviews for a more in-depth look to decide for yourself which cell phone is best. If you&#8217;ve been wondering which is the best cell phone, we&#8217;ve got answers for you. Click on to read our rankings of the best cell phones in the US. Number 20: LG Thrill 4G If you like 3D, you&#8217;ll love the LG Thrill 4G (known as the LG Optimus 3D outside of the States). It&#8217;s not perfect. It&#8217;s a little chunky for our tastes (11.9 mm thick) and heavy (168g), but it&#8217;s hard to feel like it&#8217;s anything but incredible after seeing what&#8217;s encased. Inside you&#8217;ll find a 1GHz dual-core processor and the technology that feeds out a surprisingly crisp glasses-free 3D 4.3-inch display. That&#8217;s right, glasses-free 3D display. On your phone. Sure, it&#8217;s a novelty, but it&#8217;s far from a gimmick. LG has gone the distance here, including dual 5 MP HD cameras that are capable of capturing videos in Stereoscopic 3D. Even better, it&#8217;s not too expensive. It costs $299.99 off contract, but its only $49.99 on two-year contract. Quick verdict If you must have one, the LG Thrill 4G is the one we recommend. It&#8217;s fast, it&#8217;s functional as a day-to-day phone, and it&#8217;s cheap. But don&#8217;t hesitate to check out the HTC Evo 3D if you&#8217;re still not sold. LG Thrill 4G review Number 19: Samsung Infuse 4G Above all, the Samsung Infuse feels big and fast. At 4.5-inches it&#8217;ll feel too large in some hands, but it&#8217;s so thin you might just be surprised. How thin? At 8.8mm it&#8217;s thin enough for AT&#38;T to bill it as its thinnest 4G phone (though the Motorola Droid Razr [7.1mm] is thinner on Verizon, and the Huawei P1 S is destined to snatch up both titles). The Samsung Infuse 4G&#8217;s main selling point might be its agreeable size, but it&#8217;s also packing a fantastic camera and equally impressive video capabilities. And while AT&#38;T&#8217;s 4G...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE: It seems not We last saw details about a Sony Windows Phone 7 handset in January and if new spy shots are to be believed, then the new Sony Windows Phone 7 handset will be a side slider. QWERTY Windows Phones are somewhat rare these days, with the majority being touchscreen only, but it is an area where Sony (Ericsson) has some experience.? The new leaked images show the keyboard and rear of the device. It carries the Sony Ericsson name on the front and the logo on the rear, but that doesn&#8217;t mean it isn&#8217;t a future device. In recent weeks, we&#8217;ve seen the Xperia S with both Sony and Sony Ericsson branding, for example. Sony Ericsson has a tendency to launch keyboard devices as &#8220;pro&#8221; models, assuming that only business types want a keyboard (see the Xperia Pro for example). The displayed device isn&#8217;t too dissimilar to the Pro either, although we note that the keyboard is open, yet the Bing search page is still in portrait, so whether we&#8217;d see Windows Phone 7 reorienting to work perfectly in landscape is a different question. Sony is expected to be launching a number of devices at Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona next week and we&#8217;re expecting to see new Windows Phone 7 hardware too, so we&#8217;ll bring you all the details as we get them. UPDATE: After further research, it appears that this isn&#8217;t a new device at all, it&#8217;s an old unreleased model doing the rounds, no doubt caught up in the excitement of next week&#8217;s Mobile World Congress. Thanks to all those who pointed it out. Source: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/44517/sony-windows-phone-7-handset]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New camera phone teased Nokia has released a video on YouTube teasing the capabilities of its latest phone. And it seems the focus is on taking pictures and capturing video. Although we already have a good idea of what Nokia is expected to launch at Mobile World Congress next week &#8211; the Nokia Lumia 900, Lumia 610 and a couple of Symbian devices for emerging markets &#8211; this is the first time the Finnish company has teased about the actual announcements it plans to make. &#8220;Stay tuned for the latest news from Nokia at Mobile World Congress,&#8221; reads the blurb under the video titled &#8220;Get ready to capture a pure view&#8221;.? It shows a number of shots of snow with phrases such as &#8220;Pure detail&#8221;, &#8220;Pure depth&#8221; and &#8220;Pure definition&#8221; overlaid. Snow is incredibly hard to catch, so if the shots have been snapped by a camera phone, it&#8217;s a pretty good achievement as the video shows they look pretty good. We will find out which device sporting the advertised camera during the company&#8217;s press conference, on Monday 27 February. Pocket-lint will be in attendance.

		<description><![CDATA[UPDATED: And get Ice Cream Sandwich too LG has continued its pattern of releasing early details of new smartphones that it plans to launch at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week. This time it&#8217;s the sequel to the LG Optimus 3D that&#8217;s been announced, the bizarrely named LG Optimus 3D Cube. And, as we exclusively revealed last September, it will be a superslim device. To be released in South Korea first, through SK Telecom, the Cube comes with 4.3-inch autostereoscopic (glasses-free) LCD touch screen, a rear-mounted 5-megapixel camera with dual lenses (for 3D capture), VGA camera on the front, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and NFC. It will feature 16GB of on board storage, but there&#8217;s no mention, as yet, whether there&#8217;ll be a memory card slot. The first Optimus 3D, however, came with a microSD slot for expansion by up to a further 32GB, so we should imagine it&#8217;ll be the same this time around. The battery is of the 1520 mAh variety, and comes pre-installed with Android 2.3. As well as its superslim form factor (126.8 x 67.4 x 9.6mm and weighing 148g), this will be the first handset to also feature full 3D image and video editing functionality. There&#8217;s no idea at present when it might make its way to the UK or Europe, but we&#8217;ll find out more at MWC next week. Pocket-lint will be there to bring you the latest news. UPDATE: Pocket-lint has now learnt that the 3D Cube will actually be called the LG Optimus 3D Max in Europe. It will &#8220;gradually roll out in other markets starting in Europe&#8221; although there&#8217;s still no date. However, LG has released a statement saying that the new handset &#8220;will receive an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich from Android 2.3 Gingerbread shortly after the launch&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[And 12 per cent still have sordid snaps of the ex A staggering 26 per cent of Brits have pornographic pictures or video of their partner on their mobile or smartphone. When asked, &#8220;Have you ever taken a &#8216;sex&#8217; photo or video of yourself and a partner using your camera phone?&#8221; over a quarter of respondents replied, &#8220;Yes.&#8221; Additionally, 34 per cent of those who replied positively also admitted to sharing the pics or clips with friends. The study was undertaken by UK retailer GoodMobilePhones.co.uk which put a series of candid questions to?1,976 people aged 18 and over. And even 38 per cent of those who had never taken a sexy snap or vid of a loved one, would consider doing so in the future. Of those who had already, 12 per cent of ?even said that they still had saucy pictures or video clips of an ex on their devices. And 53 per cent of those are now seeing someone else. Finally, and alarmingly, 65 per cent of them don&#8217;t even pin-lock their handsets, which has led Mark Owen, managing director of GoodMobilePhones.co.uk, to lend some sage words of advice. &#8220;I would certainly recommend to anyone that does do this kind of thing to make sure that they secure their phone with a pin or pass-code, as you wouldn&#8217;t want that kind of thing to get into the wrong hands,&#8221; he said. &#8220;At the end of the day, the camera function on a phone is there for you to snap what you wish; but ensure your pictures are protected on your mobile to avoid any embarrassment!&#8221; Either that or flog the pics to the papers. At least get some dough from it. Source: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/44521/over-quarter-brits-admit-porn-pictures-video]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dual-core Snapdragon handset launched Following on from the budget friendly Samsung Exhibit II 4G that went live in the US in October, Sammy and T-Mobile have teamed up again for another bash at the maturing LTE market &#8211; the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G. The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, apart from a ridiculously long name, also has a 3.97-inch (so, 4-inch then) Super AMOLED display and is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor. No Ice Cream fun yet, the Blaze runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but it packs all the Big G fun such as Google Maps, Calendar, Gmail and, of course, the Android Market. The Samsung Media Hub is also on board. T-Mobile&#8217;s 4GPro App Pack will also be pre-loaded, offering an aggregation of key business applications, such as DropBox, Evernote, Square, TripIt, Camscanner and LinkedIn. It has a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera that can also shoot 720p and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat. &#8220;The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G is loaded with rich features and services to keep consumers entertained and connected virtually anywhere they want to go,&#8221; said Andrew Sherrard, senior vice-president, marketing, T-Mobile USA. &#8220;Paired with T-Mobile&#8217;s fast 4G network and our unlimited data plans, we&#8217;re making it easy for consumers to enjoy the benefits of 4G experiences at a price they can afford.&#8221; The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G will cost $149.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate card, with a two-year service agreement and qualifying voice and data plan. No word on a UK release, and don&#8217;t hold your breath waiting for one. Source: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/44527/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ringtones in 2012&#8230;. Do you like ring dings? Want to re-live 2002 all over again? If so, iTunes has the answer for you as it secured the rights to the first official ringtones from The Beatles. Yes, ringtones. You read that right. The Fab Four are taking on the likes of The Crazy Frog in the wacky world of ringtones. &#8220;Beginning today, fans around the world can, for the first time, purchase ringtones for The Beatles&#8217; 27 UK and US #1 hits, exclusively on iTunes,&#8221; read the release statement on the band&#8217;s official website. The 30-second ringtones will cost you $1.29 each (it seems to be US only at the moment) and include such classics as I Want To Hold Your Hand, Let It Be, Penny Lane, Can&#8217;t Buy Me Love and Get Back. The Beatles landed on iTunes in 2010, with the band&#8217;s back catalogue finally getting the Apple treatment. Apple Computers that is. The Cupertino tech giant has a long-running dispute with Apple Corps Ltd, a multimedia company started by The Beatles in 1967. This ended in 2007 with a settlement and Steve Jobs stated at the time: &#8220;We love The Beatles, and it has been painful being at odds with them over these trademarks. It feels great to resolve this in a positive manner, and in a way that should remove the potential of further disagreements in the future.&#8221; And indeed it has. As well as the iTunes arrivals The Beatles also launched an animated iBook last year based on The Yellow Submarine.

		<description><![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy Ace 2: 10 things to know Samsung likes a good refresh and the trend continues as the Galaxy Ace gets a dust down and some energy drinks to transform it into the Galaxy Ace 2. The Galaxy Ace 2 arrives along side the Galaxy Mini 2 (yep, another update on a previous handset) just in time to strut its stuff on the catwalk at MWC 2012 in Barcelona. We will be in Barcelona to bring you all the latest, so keep an eye out for our hands on: Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 review. In the mean time take a gander below at our top ten things you need to know about the Galaxy Ace 2. 1. What is the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2? The Galaxy Ace 2 slides into Samsung&#8217;s mid-range Android handset offering and looks to build on the previously successful Galaxy Ace mobile. Expect a reasonable price tag and a monthly tariff of somewhere around the Â£15-Â£20 per month mark. Although affordable you can get the beefy Motorola Razr for around the same money, after its price was dropped to encourage sales. 2. Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 screen You&#8217;ll get a (bigger than the iPhone 4S) 3.8-inch WVGA TFT touchscreen with a 480 x 800 resolution on the Galaxy Ace 2 which Samsung says with provide &#34;high-quality graphics for even the most demanding applications and games&#34;. This is an improvement on the 3.5-inch screen found on its predecessor and very slightly larger than the 3.7-inch screen found on the HTC Desire S. 3. Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 power The Galaxy Ace 2 packs a dual-core 800MHz processor backed up with 768MB of RAM. This should provide enough power to run Android and the associated apps without too much of a fuss, but don&#8217;t expect the lightning quick experience you get with the likes of the Galaxy S2. Power-wise the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 finds itself able to compete with the mid-range competition of the Desire S, which does boast 1GB of RAM, but only a single-core 1GHz processor. 4.Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 OS We were not overly surprised to learn that the Galaxy Ace 2 will ship with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) instead of Google&#8217;s latest Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) offering. Although the Galaxy Ace 2 does come with a dual-core processor we reckon it slips just below the acceptable threshold of ICS at the current time and the RAM does not help the cause. Don&#8217;t rule out an upgrade to ICS in the future however, as Samsung&#8217;s mobile boffins may be able to work some magic and provide a suitable version for the Galaxy Ace 2.

Once again we can draw comparison to the HTC Desire S which...]]></description>
