Knows Paging In and Out |
Great forum plug in WhatsUp forum !
"We
purchased a product a few years ago called PageGate by
Notepager. These guys know paging in and out. PageGate
will pick up an ASCII file and page it to the receipient
listed in the first line of the file. Better yet, it can
try to send it via SNPP or WCTP over the internet first
and failover to TAP paging if the others fail. It will
break large pages into multiple small pages for those of
us that have phones with small character
limits." |

08/24/2006 New Cell
Phones |
Up until now, cell phones have always looked
pretty much like, well, phones. But Synaptics is out to
change all that with ClearPad, their next generation
mobile phone interface that replaces the traditional
button layout with a smooth, touch screen interface.
Instead of punching away at function keys,
ClearPad-enabled phones -– like the Onyx concept phone
that Synaptics introduced -– will allow users to place
and receive calls "with the touch of a
cheek."

Better than Handheld for Drivers |
Talking on a cellphone while driving sharply reduces
brain activity needed to keep track of road conditions
and leads drivers to gaze at things without their brains
actually seeing them, according to a psychologist at the
University of Utah. Hands-free phones pose the same
safety hazards as handheld phones, says psychologist
David Strayer.

08/15/2006 Forensics and
Text Messaging |
Forensic experts say they are studying how text
messages could be linked to crimes.
In a bid to make better use of the
data mobile phones contain, psychologists at the
University of Leicester in England are researching how
individuals can be identified by their texting
style.
"The smaller the text
message the harder it is to find who said what. The
police are able to tell where a phone is by
triangulation but not who is holding it," Tim Grant, one
of the researchers, told Silicon.com.

08/14/2006 Going Green
Means More Green for Cell Phone Users |
It's not easy being green. But for cell-phone
companies like Nokia, Motorola, and Palm, the
alternative seems to be going into the
red.
New regulations about
electronic waste in parts of the U.S., Europe, and
elsewhere are forcing handset makers to pursue
innovative recycling programs and consider introducing
phones that contain less toxic material. Indeed, some
countries are considering punitive fines for
manufacturers of phones and other electronics that don't
meet these standards.
