Apple's iPhone will be available soon in stores and consumers are lining up to purchase the gadget. It looks like it's going to be a Nintendo Wii big fuss kind of story. But there are some factors one should consider while waiting in the line in order to buy this device.

First of all is the price: The iPhone will cost about $499 for the 4-gigabyte model, and $599 for the 8-gigabyte version and that is only for the gadget. You will have to take in consideration a service plan as well. AT&T, the carrier Apple chose to work with, announced that its iPhone service plans will start at $59.99 a month, with a minimum two-year contract. You will have to pay a $36 activation fee as well and if you have to switch service providers, you may also have to pay an early-termination fee.

Speaking about carrier, well, the iPhone can be used only with a service plan from AT&T. That's not quite a plus, since approximately 66% of U.S. cell phone users don't use AT&T and AT&T's wireless cell phone and Internet services are not very good. It may be easy to get online with the iPhone in wireless hot spots, but once you will be forced to rely on AT&T's wireless network, things will be different...

It is still unclear how well the iPhone will work with corporate servers to access e-mails and address books, or how it interacts with other computers. The iPod doesn't have a keyboard, so for a Blackberry user who's always sending e-mails back and forth while away from the office, getting used to the touch screen typing could take some time.

The good part with the iPhone is that if you are ready to pay the price, you will get a magical multimedia gadget: it is a mobile phone, an MP3 player, a Web-enabled device, a digital camera and much more. Of course, there are other cell phones with integrated MP3 player, but the iPhone is the only one that synchronize with iTunes automatically. There are other cell phones with integrated digital camera, but it seems that iPhone's video capabilities are quite spectacular. And because the touch screen essentially spans the length of the iPhone, users will get a wider viewing area than what the typical Internet-enabled phone offers with a browser that renders Web pages in full html. That means web sites will look as they do on a regular computer or laptop.

Like many other Apple gadgets, the iPhone's greatest "I want that" element is its sleek design. The most eye-catching feature is, of course, the touch screen interface. The user accesses all of the iPhone's features: the phone, the music player, Web browser, calendar and so on with his fingertips.

So if you are an Apple nut, I'm sure you are waiting in line in front of your favorite store. But if you are not an Apple maniac and you are ready to spend $500+ for a cell phone, there are other options to consider, like a Nokia N95 with a 5 megapixels built-in digital camera (iPhone's camera is only 2 megapixels!), MP3 player and e-mail capabilities. Also, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and LG have cell phones with built-in music players and digital cameras, and some of them have even touch screen interface.

It is one of the sexiest mobile phones on this planet and is better known as the Samsung U600 to the world. In fact, it is one of the high end and better crafted technologies from the Samsung factory that is perhaps made to reaffirm the manufacturer Samsung's supremacy in the market. This time too, Samsung is still loyal with its trademark slider phones and has made a slider phone out of Samsung U600 too, however, this phone is much more attractive and different from its creed of similar looking phones. Samsung U600 forms a part of the Ultra Edition II series and is known to be the thinnest slider phone in the market. Which is why it feels so difficult to believe that handset this thin is impregnated with so many high end features, and this becomes the USP of this device.

Coming to its details, Samsung U600 looks attractive with its bright TFT display that reflects a spectrum of 256,000 colours through it. As per its technical details, Samsung U600 is a Quad-Band GSM device that is fully functional in all around the world including the whole of American subcontinent(thanks to its GSM 850 connectivity). Further, the technologies as GPRS, EDGE and Bluetooth are also effective in enhancing the connectivity of this device. Samsung U600 also enables web browsing and e-mailing through it in order to keep you linked with the world.

Samsung U600 also consists of a 3.2 Mega Pixels camera that clicks the most spectacular images with an utmost clarity and sharpness. Further, it has an MP3 music player in this device that allows you to listen to the music of your choice, irrespective of where you are. With its FM radio, you could also keep yourself updated about the latest events from all around the world. To facilitate your business needs, Samsung U600 has also been installed with Yahoo search engine. Further, it also gives you an easy access to all of your corporate data in MS Office format.

Samsung U600 thus is a complete handset that not only takes care of your style but also gives you the best technology in mobile phone!

Internet, the hot place to purchase mobile phones offers various enticing offers like cheap mobile phone deals and has made it possible to own the latest gadgets. So the mobile market has literally become a place where the manufacturer or service provider tries to attract more and more consumers with exciting deals. You just need to do some prior research before going for the final deal.

Amazing features like high resolution camera, high quality music player, connectivity features, and games have truly transformed our lifestyle. Email, MMS and Bluetooth let you share files and stay connected. There are music focussed mobile phones that come with stereophonic sound and have eliminated the need of stand-alone music players. A click of a button can allow you to access internet on your mobile phone, thanks to the WAP feature. Coming up with impeccable styles and advanced technology, mobile phones are certainly the best thing happened to us. Possibilities are endless, the myriad of multimedia features can let you experience a true a mobile lifestyle.

Scores of books and articles have been written about new technology, making the most of your on-line time, and how to not get left in the dust by all of the techno-twits that populate the cosmos. Contrary to most advice, the only time you have to adopt a new tool or technological device is when: (1) your organization or boss requires it, (2) your clients or constituents already use the technology, or (3) you would gain a strategic competitive advantage by doing so.

I discovered the latter by talking with industry gurus, reading objective commentary on new technology, and staying alert and open to new possibilities. Personally, I always let a younger person handle any technology issues I face--
24-year-olds tend to know the latest devices like the back of their hands.

It is easy to get caught in the trap of acquiring some new tool of technology far in advance of your ability to use it, let alone benefit from it. In the mid to early 1980s, IBM, Apple, Tandy, Atari and other personal computer manufacturers launched vigorous campaigns to convince you, and everyone you know, that buying a computer was essential to your livelihood. Though they would soon be correct, they made it seem as if computers were essential to your career years before they actually were.

Promises, Promises

IBM featured a Charlie Chaplinesque character sitting at a keyboard, effortlessly punching in a few stokes, while the computer took the drudgery out of running a business. The advertisements conveyed the image that once you bought a PC, it would take next to nothing to plug in, get it up and running, and use a variety of software to instantly increase your efficiency as a manager.

Today you wouldn't think of doing a job without your PC. Yet, I bet you can't think of a single day when you sat at the keyboard, tapped a few keys, and had your department or business "running itself."

In 1995, the powers that be perpetrated new myths through mass-advertising by suggesting that getting on-line, and tapping onto the Internet was the be-all and end-all. While there's no denying the awesome power of on-line information and communication services, it's important to keep things in balance.

"Driven by our obsession to compete, we've embraced the electronic god with a frenzy," says Bill Henderson, leader of the Lead Pencil Club. "Soon, blessed with the facts, voice, and email, computer hook-ups and TVS with hundreds of channels, we won't have to leave our lonely rooms--not to write a check, work, visit, shop, exercise, or make love. We will have raced at incredible speeds to reach our final destination--nothing."

Perhaps he's a little emphatic, but look around your office and your home. Have you been caught in the trap of gathering information or acquiring an item far in advance of your ability to use it? Have you bought any technological items in the last two years that have largely sat there? Hardware and software, instruction manuals, scanners, additional printers, adapters, cassettes, videos, CD-ROMS, phone systems, fax machines, on-line connections, or on-line products and services?

Peter Drucker, the noted sage of management, made the observation that for new technology to replace old, it has to have at least "ten times the benefit" of its predecessor.

Technology Time Traps

All technology holds the potential to either help you be more efficient, or further slide you into the morass of the overwhelmed. In his book, Technopoly, Dr. Neil Postman says that with the introduction of any new technology into your life, there are both benefits and detriments. The manufacturers, advertisers, and dealers are adept at helping you focus on the benefits--especially in the rare case that you happen to become one of the world's expert users of the system they offer. How often, however, do you read about the downside of acquiring new tools and technology?

Consider the car phone: If you're the parent of two children, it can give you great comfort to call them via car phone after school. Car phones can indeed be wonderful tools. Some models respond to you by voice, confirming which key was compressed, or what option you've engaged. The newest models offer voice commands that enable you to "Call Joe Smith," "Call home," "Answer the phone," or "Hang up the phone."

Some car phones have built-in fax and data communications that allow for transmissions from your car. Some car phones connect to your horn, providing a security feature. Others allow for emergency dialing. Most have some type of anti-theft alarm. Some will dial your home or office when an intruder tries to make a call!

Cellular phone hardware comes with a variety of features: various levels of volume control or the option to engage different rings. A growing number offer wider display screens, brightly lit-up for easy use at night, speed dialing, speed re-dialing, and one-touch dialing.

What's the Downside?

When you place a car phone in your automobile, you may add a number of undesirable aspects to your life:

* The ability of anyone to reach you at any time

* Disturbance of one of the last sanctuaries that you had

* Changing your brochures and business cards to reflect your car phone's number

* The potential for driving less safely

* Added expense as you engage in unnecessary conversations

* The new-found annoying habit of making one extra call before reaching destinations -- to make sure that plans haven't changed

* Heightened insecurity and anxiety

* Another invoice to examine at the end of the month, and another check to write

* Involuntarily opening up your perceptions to notice other ads about other cellular phone systems

* The annoying feeling that your system is insufficient and maybe that you need more range, more power, less cost per call

It seems paradoxical that a device created to make you more efficient and save you time holds an equal potential for doing the opposite. The following is a gripping view of why this happens.

The Revenge Effect

"The Revenge Effect is the curious way the world has of getting even, defeating our best efforts to speed it up and otherwise improve it," says Professor Edward Tenner of Princeton University. The failure of technology to solve problems, according to Tenner, can often be traced to the interaction between machines and humankind. Freeways, intended to speed travel, lead to suburbs--urban areas sprawl out instead of up. This leads to an increase in commuting times. Because computers make it easy to copy and print files, we copy and print more, and our offices fill with paper.

Tenner wonders what "revenge effect" the virtual world will have: as virtual communities form, will real cities crumble? In mid-1995, five percent of American households were on-line. What will happen when more than half the country is wired?

Some handsets are born to inspire, and the all new Nokia 8600 Luna is one of the creed...it is constantly attracting a lot of consumer attention towards it. This mobile phone is certainly high on fashion and has a lot of 'X' factor that is pulling a good deal of clientèle towards it.

To review this handset in detail, Nokia 8600 Luna looks like a distant cousin of the super high end Nokia 8800 Sirocco and looks quite stylish as compared to the latter. As far as the specifications are concerned, it seems that it is very well specified than the high end sirocco phone. Its smoked glass sliding panel looks very much appealing that unravels the numeric keypad underneath. The TFT display of this mobile phone unravels a spectrum of 256,000 colours through it. So overtly, Nokia 8600 looks quite impressive at its face value.

Technically, Nokia 8600 works on Quad-Band GSM network that practically makes it work at every corner of the world, including the parts of America. Further, with the presence of features as GPRS, EDGE and Bluetooth, the connectivity looks like a real no problem in this case. This phone can easily browse the world wide web and also also send and receive e-mails through it.

There is a high resolution 2 Mega Pixels camera, that is also present in this device that is able to store images with crystal clear quality. And the second standard feature of this high end device is an MP3 music player that plays music at your will. The inclusion of an FM radio also keeps you updated with the latest events around the world. The memory of Nokia 8600 seems meagre in dearth of an external card slot, however, its 128 MB user memory looks amply sufficient as well.

Thus the Nokia 8600 Luna one of the high end mobile phones that not only look stylish but also consists of some of the best features of mobile telephony, which makes it a device worth it.

Ever since the Nokia 8000 communicator came out in the late 1990s, the lines between the mobile phone and the internet enabled PDA have become increasingly blurred, and now with WAP, GPRS and 3G all offering users internet access through their mobile phone, the web is increasingly being opened up to more avenues, and becoming a much more important aspect of what is possible with a mobile phone.

Mobile Internet has grown enormously around the world, and in many countries, more people access the web through their phone than they do by using a computer, and this is due to the comparatively low cost of doing so. You do not need any specialist or expensive equipment, and simply access the Internet through your existing connection.

Although in the past, many operators charged high rates for web and data calls, prices are now much lower, and operators such as T-Mobile now include Web and Walk as a standard part of most of their packages.

Thanks to the larger screens on today's mobile phones, the lines between what is possible to access, and what is not is increasingly beginning to blur, and you can now visit almost any website on the latest handsets. With standards available about how information should be displayed in order to be accessible on a mobile phone as well as on a computer, you can now see the images and layouts of the site, rather than just text.

One of the best things about the mobile internet is that it is possible for services to be tailored to the user on a local level, meaning that you can access high quality information about the area where you are standing, so for finding restaurants and cinema times, the mobile internet is ideal.

Another great thing about the latest generation of handsets like the Nokia N95 is that by use of integrated GPS, you can access mapping information and find your way. With 3G handsets from the Three Network, you can now access many regular services through your phone including being able to bid on eBay, access your email account, and even make calls using VOIP!

Thanks to larger screens, and an increasing willingness for webmasters to make their content available in a wide range of formats so it can be accessed by Mobile Phone users, the mobile internet has never been better, or the world of information available online been so accessible.

Does your home have a wireless router connected to your DSL or Broadband cable connection? Well if it does, and you did not set it up securely then it is very likely your neighbors or drive by hackers are using your internet connection! Even worse these same people could be gaining access to the computers connected to your network. Wireless networking is very easy to turn on but a little more difficult to secure correctly. A simple look on the internet will show you sites that actually list unsecured wireless connections. I did a search on my home address and found 129 open networks within a 1/10 of a mile of my house!! Is yours one of them? There are some simple things you can do to secure your wireless connection. Let me show you how.

1. Lets start with the simplest thing first. Change the default password on the wireless router. Wireless routers come with a default password already set. This password is the same for every router of that brand and can easily be looked up on the internet by a hacker. So change it to a secure password immediately!

2. Next change the default SSID. The SSID is most often set to the name of the manufacturer so change it to something different. After you do this then turn off SSID broadcast. This is a weak security measure and is meant only to stop the not technical neighbor from stealing your internet. It will not stop a determined hacker.

3. Turn on MAC address filtering. In the wireless router configuration turn on MAC filtering and enter the MAC addresses of the wireless cards belonging to your PC's and laptops. This will prevent computers that are not on the allowed MAC address list from connecting to your wireless router.

4. Turn on encryption. Depending on your wireless router age and model you will have different options for encryption. You may have (WEP), (WPA and WPA2). Any of these encryption methods are better than nothing; however WPA2 is the most secure of the 3 with WEP being the least secure of the three. So choose based on what your router is capable of then the most secure if you router is capable of more than one type.

Obviously the more checks that are made, the greater the likelihood of preventing network break-ins that is why implementing all of these instead of just one will be much more secure.

LG KE850 Prada is here and it has hit the mobile phone markets with full force this time. Everyone looks happy with its arrival, manufacturers, consumers and the whole market. However someone who is really unhappy with its release is Apple, who has been propounding their similar looking i-phone for so long. Apparently, LG took away the credit by introducing the similar looking Prada. To fan apple's indignation into fury, LG gloatingly touted it as the first all touch screen mobile phone.

LG Prada is exciting indeed, a phone that is the world's first fully touch screen mobile phone. It looks like an impeccable piece of fashion accessory with all the high end multimedia features in it. This technically superior handset is brilliant in terms of specifications as well that makes it a highly advanced handset. It looks very attractive overtly. Its 3 inches screen is fairly big, that unfolds the panorama of 256,000 colours through its TFT touch screen. It doesn't have a keypad either, because it doesn't require one. Prada phone from LG is a Tri-Band GSM handset that comes with features as GPRS, EDGE, and Bluetooth for wonderful connectivity.
