Nokia fights to retain smartphone dominance

One of Nokia's thinnest phones to date, the 6500 Classic is just 9.5 millimeters thick. It offers 3G capability, quad-band reception (which means it will work on almost any wireless network in the world) and a micro-USB connector.

New market-share figures released by Gartner on 11 March indicate that the mighty Nokia is losing market share at the high end to Apple, RIM and HTC. No-one expects Nokia to tumble out of first place anytime soon, but the new competition is putting more pressure on the company to address some nagging issues such as improving its software and finally making its high-end products more available in the North American market.

T-Mobile USA Looks To Tap Consumers With Laptop Connection

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--T-Mobile USA is banking that casual users and small business owners will want a constant cellular connection for their laptop in unveiling its webConnect USB stickT-Mobile, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG (DT), is entering a well-worn path. All of the other wireless carriers, which have built out more extensive high-speed networks, offer laptop cards with wireless Internet connections, and serve mostly business customers. Late to the game, the No. 4 U.S. carrier is hoping its ease of use and the targeting of consumers will allow it to grow.
"We're focusing on consumers and the next wave of users who adopt mobile broadband," said Jeremy Korst, the director of broadband products and services for T-Mobile. "We're making it easier."

The USB stick itself is $250, $100 with a one-year contract, or $50 with a two-year contract. The monthly plan costs $60 for 5 gigabytes of wireless data, with a charge of 20 cents per megabyte on top of that level. The $60 plan is roughly in line with competing services from other carriers.
Like AT&T's 3G card, T-Mobile's USB stick can connect to a majority of networks abroad. It can also connect to partner T-Mobile Wi-Fi hotspots overseas, but additional charges would apply.

Mobile death chambers take capital punishment on the road

The mobile death chamber means executions can be ordered and carried out by courts in towns and villages around a particular province, with executioners and medical staff shuttling between different jurisdictions. Authorities say the initiative is a deterrent against crime

China is innovating in the market of death with a fleet of execution buses in which convicts are efficiently and cleanly put to death by lethal injection.

"First, we established there was demand for execution vehicles. Then we designed the vehicles and applied to the government for certification. This procedure is a must," said Mr Zhang, from the marketing department of Jinguan Auto – a Chongqing-based maker of ambulances, police lorries, bulletproof shields and armour-plated limos. Mr Zhang, who did not wish to give his first name, said the execution bus is a refitted 17-seater minibus which is seven metres long. So far the company had sold 10 of the vehicles

Millions expected to cut back cell phone costs in recession

Opinion Research, which conducts polls for CNN and other organizations, also found that many users have already cut back. "The change in thinking and purchases is clearly already taking place and has been for months," said Graham Hueber, senior researcher for Opinion Research, in a call with reporters.

Thirty-nine percent of those customers with monthly contracts said they are likely to cut back. That percentage represents more than 60 million consumers who are expected to cut back on monthly service or extras such as texting, according to the Opinion Research Corp., a polling company that performed the survey for NMRC. The margin of error in the survey is plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Allen Hepner, a scholar at the NMRC, said the survey also shows that consumers will move from monthly cell phone plans to prepaid plans as a result of the downturn. He described four prepaid plans that were far less costly than monthly plans, putting them more in the reach of lower-income Americans. "Consumers are looking for savings," he said

Hepner would not say whether the NMRC receives funding from prepaid carriers, saying that the group's donors are kept anonymous. He did say that some of the donors are telecommunications companies. Many carriers offer both prepaid and monthly subscription plans.
