			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a huge fan of <a href="http://www.nobelcom.com/">calling cards</a> at the moment. I have already blogged about the savings involved when using calling cards to make <a href="http://www.nobelcom.com/nobelcom/html/international-calls.html">international calls</a>. That remains a fact, but one thing I have been more surprised at is how much I can save when calling somewhere as local as Canada. I mean, it&#8217;s relatively close, I wouldn&#8217;t have thought the savings would be that great, but boy was I wrong. I have purchased a handful of <a href="http://www.nobelcom.com/phone-cards/calling-Canada-from-United-States-1-55.html">Canada phone cards</a> over the past couple of months and the savings I am making when calling Canada are unbelievable. I can understand a huge saving on international calls to Europe, Australia and Africa etc, but someone as local as Canada, well, I was more than surprised.</p>
<p>Of course, it is a known fact that calling cards can offer extensive savings whether you&#8217;re calling the country next door or the country on the other side of the world. I had to try it for myself to believe it though. If any of our readers are still using their mobile to call their relatives and business colleagues then the next time you&#8217;re out and about or surfing around online - pick up a trial phone card, you might even find one for free.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am sure that most of my readers will have now heard of and maybe even tried using phone cards and already experienced the savings available when making international calls - but - did you know about the various <a href="http://www.enjoyprepaid.com/enjoyprepaid/jsp/epmisc/uses_types.jsp?type=phonecard">international calling card plans</a> available? By signing up for a specific plan, you can now save even more money than you do currently - yes, it really is possible to do so!</p>
<p>The calling card plans on the market today are not destination specific, so you can use your calling card to call pretty much anywhere you like, anytime, anywhere but at a fraction of the cost you will normally pay. They are also packed with the same features as your normal phone card such as pinless dialing and auto recharge so you will not get disconnected when making that all important call.</p>
<p>Calling card plans are available for pretty much all destinations so you too can <a href="http://www.enjoyprepaid.com/">Enjoy Prepaid phone cards</a>, whether you simply want to call back home to the United States, or you&#8217;re looking for <a href="http://www.enjoyprepaid.com/calling-cards/calling-China-from-United-States-1-63.html">china calling cards</a>, you will find a plan that suits you. Luckily, we don&#8217;t have to call China too often, but we&#8217;re already making savings on top of savings with our US plan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So by now, you&#8217;re all happily using your new GPhone but one problem, you&#8217;re still stuck with the same old network charges, especially for dialing <a href="http://www.bananacall.com/">international long distance</a> calls. Yes, we know, we are too. Fortunately, there is now an option available for you to make International calls a LOT cheaper than using your current mobile provider and that option is by using <a href="http://www.bananacall.com/calling-cards.htm">calling cards</a>. Now we know that our members are extremely experience telecoms enthusiasts that will probably cringe at the thought of this, but, saving money is saving money right? There is no point lining the pockets of the cellular network fat cats anymore than we need to.</p>
<p>Some of the best, and more importantly to me, easiest to use cards are the <a href="http://www.bananacall.com/about.htm">banana call phone cards</a>. The features offered with these cards are truly phenomenal and make making an International call just as easy as using the office phone, home phone or your mobile - but without the huge costs.</p>
<p>You can use phone card worldwide access numbers from over 150 countries so you now have no excuse not to make that long distance call back home, no matter where you are in the world. Give them a go, you&#8217;ll be surprised at what you can save.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fancy ringtones for mobile phones are nothing new. You can hear them everywhere; after all, ringtones are the indicator of incoming calls or text messages. Kids and teens love ringtones the most. Ringtones are compatible with most modern phones. There are many types of ringtones, but they are mostly made up of the latest songs from the most popular singers including Ciara and T Pain. However, you can also get ringtones based on cartoon theme songs such as Spongebob Squarepants. The best thing is, you can <a href="http://www.tones9.com/">download free ringtones</a> from many mobile phone sites such as Tones9.  </p>
<p>Why download these ringtones? The one and only answer and is ‘because it is free’. Normally the <a href="http://dir.yahoo.com/Entertainment/Consumer_Electronics/Communications_and_Information_Management/Telephones/Cell_Phones/Ringtones__Graphics__and_Logos/">ringtones</a> come in an mp3 format, as it is compatible with all the mobile phones. This means you can get many <a href="http://www.tones9.com/mp3-ringtones.html">mp3 ringtones</a> for your phone and change them whenever you want to. Mobile phones allow you to change the ringtones for incoming calls, text messages and even for your alarm clock, so you can pick different tones for different things. This is why people love to download different ringtones for their phones, so they can change whenever the feel like changing it, and because there are many new ringtones coming up every day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a person who did not know how it was that you were able to live without the assistance of a cellular phone, you’re probably aware of the wonders and defects that modern day cellular phones have.   Along with the appearance, the versatility that a cellular phone has or lacks is generally the difference between being successful and a complete dud in terms of popularity, even though the less versatile and attractive can be a better seller than the other one.   </p>
<p>Why is this? Because of the price; if the cellular phone is incredibly attractive and completely versatile, it usually is too pricey for comfort, and cellular users who have the financial power to buy it, will pass on it because of the price or the difficulty learning all the functions available on the phone. </p>
<p>G Phone has promised to turn the page on that matter, by creating a virtually free cellular phone with all the necessities a busy business person or even a college or university student require to be in touch all the time, everywhere and anywhere.  This suspense has begun to take it’s toll and many wonder if it all was a midnight’s summer dream.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me set the scenario for you. You are at your office downtown working away on that new major contract when your assistant runs in to tell you that the client on this new major contract is calling to say that they are no longer going to be able to go through with the deal.  </p>
<p>You take the call in your conference room so your secretary can take notes while you are on the phone with the client. You also call in your manager who is responsible for working on the new major contract. The client tells you that their loan fell through and they are not going to move forward with the contract.  </p>
<p>You call your accountant on his cell phone at the golf coarse to cover finance and your lawyer at his office for legal advice. The accountant suggests calling the banker in charge of the loan department at the local bank; he is added to the <a href="http://www.conferencegenie.co.uk/">conference call</a> as well.  </p>
<p>To make a long story short, the new major contract is saved by the power of <a href="http://www.conferencegenie.co.uk/faq.php">phone conferencing</a> call. <a href="http://www.conferencegenie.co.uk/services.php">Phone conference service</a> is a wonderful thing. A conference call can be a very important business tool.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the things that I found really intriguing about the Android operating system is that unlike a lot of companies out there it is completely open sourced and the fact that Google is giving away over 10 million dollars to independent developers who can come up with the best apps using the Android platform is pretty cool.  I am anxious to see what type of user created applications come out of the challenge and I wonder if it will give other companies any ideas about how they will handle future releases of their software.  It seems that creativity in the mobile industry as well as tech in general is not nearly as encouraged as it once was, so maybe this initiative by Google will help revive some of that long gone muse of the tech world.  I can not help but wonder where the software industry would have been today if more developers were encouraged to pursue open source platforms and create useful applications for companies that had the backing to support it, not only for mobile technology but for software applications in general.  I guess only time well tell how well the future gPhone generation will go.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As noted in a previous post, the gPhone, if it is developed, will incorporate the Android platform. The open source platform, developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance is along the same concept as Linux—a free source whose code can be modified and freely distributed by anyone who knows how to do that sort of thing.</p>
<p>In watching a demonstration video of phones using the Android platform, the different applications are very exciting. The aim, according to the video, is to use this platform to develop limitless numbers of &#8220;uPhones&#8221;—phones that will be completely customizable by the users in terms of what you need and want it to do.</p>
<p>The platform is planned to be run on a 3G wireless network, the same as the 3G iPhone that&#8217;s expected to debut sometime this summer. No single phone is expected to have the Android platform, which is perhaps why talk of an actual gPhone has died down.</p>
<p>Another fun feature is a virtual web browser history, akin to what we saw last year in all those promising MS Vista ads of the cascading windows. This is another feature that is a variation on the iPod and iTunes software that lets you do a visual scroll through album covers and the like.</p>
<p>The Android platform will also be able to mix 3D and 2D graphics, so you can play first-person shooter games on your phone! If that isn&#8217;t good living, I don&#8217;t know what is!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The all important question. Partly the reason the whole gPhone rumours began flying was because the iPhone was being praised and people wondered if Google wished to deal yet another devastating blow to their competitors, in this case, Apple.</p>
<p>But can they do it?</p>
<p>In our opinion, there&#8217;s plenty of evidence to suggest that the gPhone will completely pwn the iPhone.</p>
<p>Google is the biggest website in the world, surely a simple ad on the homepage would yield huge sales? We use google so much, so we know and trust it. Why not use their brand of phone too?</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve seen Google earth, so if they can manage to get satellite images of almost everywhere on the planet, so it&#8217;s no surprise they&#8217;re purchasing their own frequency for the phone.</p>
<p>Plans also show that the gPhone will be using open source Android platform, which will allow a helluva lot of applications to be written specifically for the product.</p>
<p>Google have seen their competition, and now aim to top it comfortably. They have the money and the power, so what&#8217;s stopping them?</p>
