Beeline: Mobile retired "and a bonus for incoming

It seems that the operators together have begun to explore the target market segments. Bulk sales are widely advertised rates has not been canceled, but also to collect additional connections with certain groups is also not harmful. We are talking about the tariff of Mobile retired in Beeline, although the yield on the market rate of MTS (or maybe "MegaFon") for the same audience probably is not far off. In this case, the Beeline had before, and marketers of other operators will be able to estimate the parameters of the tariff and to make his proposal more attractive. And we have the opportunity to compare competing tariff proposals.

Despite the fact that in the week, I set about ten applications on your iPhone, very rarely come across really decent program. Shoe happens all the time, there remains only the best. Already in the fall I'll try to summarize and describe its collection of software, I hope you this will be useful. Moreover, are commonly used programs are free. From the latter most like iDisk, an application from Apple, MobileMe allows users to view documents in its virtual disk. Very useful and necessary thing. In addition, enjoy Worms, about it, we'll talk about separately - the game at all times and for all devices. The "worms", I was playing on the computer, a laptop, at console, on PDAs, smartphones and phones, and now it's time for the iPhone. Comfortable, beautiful, exciting. Well, now let's look at new and not so new applications, perhaps some of them will help you to brighten the last day of summer.

For quite a long time I did not update the traditional program reviews for the iPhone and iPod Touch. A lot of interesting developments, including the announcement of new products Apple. While I wanted to say that's what. Many were waiting on this announcement for something truly revolutionary, new, like a tablet and so on. In practice, if you remember any other event companies in the early autumn, it has always been devoted to only players, well, or phone. Here, Apple does not depart from their plans one iota. In the late autumn - the traditional announcement of laptops in the 2008th it was new MacBook and MacBook Pro, we bring autumn of 2009 - is anyone's guess. And it's not original. Readers often ask questions about new products, they say, when there will be one or the other. There can be only one answer - do not know. And no one knows, because Apple's secrecy is a fad, an important part of both business and corporate culture. You can make hundreds of thousands of suggestions from the calculations, the facts, but in fact be wrong. Accurately predict anything about future technology Apple is only possible in general. For example, if you talk about my modest person, the "aygadalkah managed to predict not only the built-in batteries for Air, but also for all other notebook line, and this is the only thing I'm more or less proved right. Is small achievement, anyone could guess, everything started with the iPhone and the Air, it was logical to see a continuation in other products. There were rumors about a camera in the iPod, it was expected in Touch. It seems to be logical? But no, the camera was equipped with a Nano, one of the most democratic in the price of players. Awaited increase in diagonal display, Touch, the appearance of extra buttons for games - no, nothing of this yet. And no one knows if at all.

After a recent large-scale renovation, many weeping bitter tears, saying, well, that's why I bought last week iMac / MacBook or something else? Do not cry. Better look at me. Even taking into account the fact that it is possible somewhere inexpensive to produce iPhone 3Gs, Uncle Serge continues to live with the old, cheap, already rather worn iPhone 3G in white. And their fate I do not curse, the explanation is simple - chasing pack can be forever. In many ways, I stopped all that personal iPhone, like slippers, comfortable, cozy and very good. All contacts, notes, mail - everything is here is set up, established, familiar, and familiar. So is it worth the upgrade of a small stress associated with the transfer of information? I do not know. And in general, may be worth wait for the next unit. And so with the rest of the equipment - well, why cry about new products, if you already have something from Apple? Use and enjoy, and only then, when your laptop or phone morally obsolete, buy a new one. Let the newcomers are attached to the world nadkushennogo apple and buy more and more new devices.

As always, I will begin the article with a little lyrical digression. You've probably already heard rumors about the fact that sales of iPhone 3Gs in our country will begin in mid-October, allegedly by two operators. Allegedly the third refused. Rumors circulate one of the distribution companies the products Apple, we have other information. As rebuttal, it can not be used, say, a view of several people. So, if you bring these views together, the sales-to-date version of the iPhone will occupy all three operators, but that the exact dates or prices can not lead, the data differ. Someone said that before the end of the month the official iPhone 3Gs actually appear on the shelves, someone said that to wait for its appearance is the end of the year. Someone said that the price of the unit will begin with twenty-three thousand, someone says that the version with a minimal amount of memory will cost about thirty thousand. Guesswork, and even worse. Therefore, wait for the press releases from the operators. In the meantime, I suggest you dive into the world of applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Despite assurances from some responsible citizens, I have a hearing something happened, I believe in myself as anybody, so the H12 use would not at all my love to the brand. Nevertheless, as shown on the site survey conducted by aksessuarike, users in selecting the headset pay special attention to price, appearance, operation time, the same voice quality is not as important to the respondents' opinion - this is for mono; here as stereo products, then the situation is quite different, music options in the first place.

Information services for communicators and smartphones based on Windows Mobile

Argue that the efficient delivery of information is one of the foundations of a successful business, there will be none. In many countries a cup of coffee and a fresh edition of the newspaper has long become a tradition. Development of the Internet has brought to this process nuances. The news service is developing rapidly. With a little time searching for satisfying the requests a subscription, you can easily get the latest news releases on the PC. But until recently, this service was available to owners of smartphones and communicators. Late last year the situation has changed. Immediately two news resources have to provide fresh issue to its subscribers. We consider them as part of a review.

I try to choose the surveys are really interesting cases, not feed you every second grade. But, speaking the truth, namely the second grade and sold, can not be said about the same model from Vaja. Still, if the price begins to cover fifty euros. Given the margin and other margins, this amount can easily transformed into a four or five thousand for the sample. Expensive but worth it so?

Training programs for systems based on Windows Mobile

Learning the language. Part Two.

Translate the text into OS Windows Mobile

Complete the publication cycle of reviews of tools to work with the language on your device running WM is a story about the translator PROMT. Along with the software companies ABBYY, Lingvosoft, and Paragon, Promt products are very well known to everyone who has ever had to deal with computer translation of the text. The main difference between this program from the above dictionary is the creation and development of machine translation algorithm. Thus, the problem of obtaining a coherent and adequate original text of the order is more complicated. If you use the dictionary user himself picks up vocabulary counterparts from the list, the translation software performs the main work computer. The final result depends solely on the algorithm used. Pocket Promt in mobile devices, almost none. At the same time provides enough decent quality of translation.

MTS - Moscow: "Simplification of perception" in the figures, the continuation of the banquet

As promised in the news of April 6, the procedure repraysinga tariffs MTS successfully completed, the prices "optimized" and made "user-friendly and catchy." Indeed, for example, "Business Without Borders" was inconvenient and difficult catchy fee of 6,740 rubles. Now the new price (6,742 rubles). Perceive more convenient and easier to remember. Although such a "streamlining" as a number of other "simplifications perception", had his own reasons, more on that below.

Overview bluetooth-headset Motorola H620

Package Contents: Headset User Charger Holder in the car Replacement bow Frankly, the last time a special headset for the car I've ever met about a year ago. Make a reservation, the headset for the car is no different from the usual such favors, but supplied where there is a car charger, or a holder, even some kind of auto-gizmo. It would seem a trifle, but with the help of these very small things moving in the car accessory occurs naturally and painlessly, you see, not every buyer headset then go to the store and spend hundreds on charging for the car. In the future, most likely, all manufacturers will actively use this technique. Strange, but initially automobile accessories have additional ways to communicate to the end user - motorist. Bought a car, put the alarm, paid insurance, welcome to the salon for a headset, which will be written into the glove. It is possible that H620 may be such for you.

Managers of information for communicators and smartphones running Windows Mobile

At first acquaintance with the organization of the main screen on the PDA and smartphone running Windows Mobile operating system it appears that the standard tools display information rather scarce. Therefore, several companies have released their products significantly enhance the standard features and create the user a number of additional amenities. One such program is SPB Pocket Plus from the company SPB Software.

MegaFon-Bonus: Ambiguous tuning of the popular program

Bonus program may be an effective tool to increase loyalty of existing subscribers. And it is often not useful or is the source of "headache" for the operator, especially considering the specifics of the "Russian mentality" of individual users. No wonder that in the bonus programs and promotional initiatives, marketers often stumble. There is a sense of what really works projects less than the failed and obviously stillborn.

Made for the iPhone: Bose

Package Contents: Headset Cover Tips for earphones in three sizes Twine Adaptor for mini-jack Additional fastening to clothing The company Bose has long been producing high-quality audio, I think it is quite possible to do without acquaintance with the brand. The name on the rumor, everyone will remember about his Bose. Someone in the car is worth Acoustics Bose, someone using headphones in an airplane Quite Comfort, another house speakers of this brand. I personally like the products of the company, well and price - the price is consistent with the level of goods. In Russia, however, a "firm" sometimes lomyat exorbitant price, but still are interested. In short, my hands got an interesting thing called the Bose In-Ear Headset. Strange that she did not come up with some intriguing title, the headset was a good as far as it is generally impossible.

Made for the iPhone: V-Moda Vibe II

Package Contents: Headset Cover Rubber bow Nozzles of different sizes A special plastic card buyer Design and construction The main distinguishing features of Vibe II - a lot of metal and specially designed cable. However, not only, let's order. When the headset to get it out of the box, you feel such a nice weight. Although in a good headset should be easy. True, Vibe II it can be forgiven. Metal gives us a sense of security. You literally feel every ruble, surrendered to the seller. Metallic earphones for hours to twirl in her hand. Metal block the microphone with a rubber button does not fall apart, even if the subway will press you to bust a beautiful girl. But she can. I mean can cuddle. I think for the company V-moda it would be correct to use the same strategy that exploits the brand Axe. Sprinkled with morning or washed firm gel, and then the girls themselves, they will write your phone numbers. By analogy - you listen to music with Vibe II, walking down the street, and they are under his feet to throw. Let's be friends and stuff. But we digress. Yes, and then they will realize that you have a V-moda? Because headphones are plug in their ears, not very much and see, but you can still detect, because the rear part is made is unusual, then a straight Knight's Cross.

So it has historically, that most of my work is devoted to additions to the mobile, and like going work in other directions rather active, but still - someone calls you, pulls at the meeting, sitting an hour or two, we talk only about the headsets, cases and so on. It is not easy to get rid of what he did in the beginning ... Oops, although in the beginning of something I was doing articles about the service as something completely slipped out of my head, and also still occasionally pop up old, who remember me in that capacity. If I am asked: "And you-you yourself are not tired of writing about all these garniturki, tricks, and so on?" - I boldly answer: it became even more interesting because there was a drop of experience, which makes it easier to assess not only the market prospects of a other devices (sometimes even gets to guess), but also give some hints that all may be improved. Why I wrote this? Yes, just so wanted to share with you. Next, look at the interesting H560.

Credit payment: Spending money will be easier

Almost simultaneously, MTS and Beeline engaged in active promotion of credit form of payment. "New" in this case is the well-forgotten old one, before the advent of modern prepaid-platform in this way paying subscribers with the operators. Today's loan contract can not be regarded as a return to the previous model, but rather as an additional trump card in a competitive game and attempt to collect more money from subscribers. As far unsuccessful attempt to show time and ARPU, but for now try to understand the features of new proposals.
