Mobile Users Top 1.5 Billion

"As of the first week of June 2004, the mobile service industry broke the 1.5 billion subscriber mark worldwide. Research firm EMC also predicts that the industry will pass the 2 billion mark as early as 2006, far earlier than some other predictions, and reach 2.45 billion by the end of 2009." [infoSync World]

Guess where a lot of that growth is going to come from?

G eneration Text

"New research from Mobile Youth - a mobile telecoms consultancy - found that 700,000 (20%) of primary school children own mobile phones and that the under 10s "represent the fastest-growing segment of mobile phone ownership within Britain".

'They are the key fashion accessory which no self respecting child can do without,' says the report. It predicts that by 2006, more than one million primary school kids (a third of all five-to-nine year olds) will own mobiles." [The Guardian]

New software will allow cell phone users to back up/edit SIM data without having to be bound to their keypad. With this software, you will have support for a variety of SIM card types and styles. This will certainly be handy, especially for backing up cell phone data such as address book contents and other important information. If I had a dollar for every time I have lost my data due to a bad SIM. Grrr.

You can search for locations by address, street name, nearby point-of-interest or fuzzy logic or by simply tapping on the map. You can also pan and scroll across the map and zoom between different levels of detail, with thousands of points-of-interest -- including gas stations, landmarks and banks -- already built in.
