Re: T-Mobile 3G speed in San Francisco
p.s. The Speed Test app recorded the GPS coordinates for these tests,
but doesn't output them, and I was too lazy to copy them all manually.

NEWS: Samsung gives sneak peak of iPad basher
It's official: Samsung will unveil its would-be iPad beater, now called
the Galaxy Tab - sounds like a fizzy drink - just ahead of the IFA
consumer electronics show early next month.
According to a vid just posted on the Samsung website, the 7in Tab will
run Android 2.2, do video calls - though the only apparent camera is on
the back - support Adobe Flash for a "full web" experience, have e-book
reading software and do "HD movie playback" - 720p, presumably, given
the physical size of the screen.
No other spec data has been provided, so we'll have to wait until the 2
September launch for that.

NEWS: Cricket Wireless looks to go national
Al Moschner probably wouldn't blame you if you've never heard of Cricket
Wireless. But if he has his way, you'll know about his company soon
enough.
As the executive vice president and chief operating officer of the
nation's seventh-largest wireless carrier, Moschner directs marketing
and branding efforts for Cricket's products and services. A subsidiary
of Leap Wireless International founded in 1999, Cricket serves 5.3
million prepaid customers in select communities in 25 states, or about a
third of the country. Though that focus has served Cricket well over the
past year--total revenues for parent company Leap Wireless increased
10.2 percent from the second quarter of 2009 to the same period this
year--the carrier isn't standing still. Even as it stays true to its
prepaid roots, it is embarking on plans to attract new customers, expand
into smartphone content services, and develop the network necessary to
become a national carrier.
Last Tuesday, just before Cricket released its first smartphone, the
Sanyo Zio, Moschner dropped by CNET's San Francisco offices to talk
about how his company and the wireless industry is changing. We covered
a range of topics, including the growth in prepaid, an impending music
service, cheaper data plans, and, of course, a CDMA iPhone.

There is no problem, NavASS. It is a figment of hateboi imaginations,

NEWS: Apple's iOS beats Android 6:1 on the Web
Also boots Linux from the No. 3 spot in OS usage online
Computerworld - Apple's iOS mobile operating system is now the
third-most popular platform on the Internet, with a share nearly six
times larger than Android's, a Web measurement company said Wednesday.
Collectively the devices that run iOS -- the iPhone, the iPod Touch and
the iPad -- accounted for 1.1% of all hardware on the Internet last
month, more than enough to shove Linux off its perch as the third-place
operating system on the Web.
For the month of August, Linux fell to a 0.85% share, the third month in
a row that the open-source operating system lost ground. Windows and
Apple's Mac OS were the No. 1 and No. 2 operating systems on the Web,
with 91.3% and 5%, respectively.
"It's something to take note of when a mobile operating system passes
something that's been around forever," said Vince Vizzaccaro, a Net
Applications vice president, talking about iOS overtaking Linux.
"Mobile's growth curve is strong, and mobile is becoming quite a
phenomenon on the Internet."
Net Applications' numbers don't reflect devices sold or operating
systems licensed or installed, but they do show how much browsing people
do using specific hardware and operating systems. And clearly, mobile
users take to the Web.
"When you combine all the different devices, mobile has a 2.6% share,"
said Vizzaccaro. "That's massive when you think about it."
As a platform, iOS has the biggest chunk of the total mobile usage
share, easily beating rivals like Google's Android and Nokia's Symbian.
Android devices made up just 0.2% of the operating systems that powered
browsers Net Applications tracked last month. "Whatever the sales are,
we're seeing iOS totally dominate the market on the Web," Vizzaccaro
said. "iOS has nearly a 6:1 advantage over Android."

Looks like Flash will be around a long, long time. I didn't know the

John, have you got any information on the distribution inside the 91.3%?
How much XP compared to how much Win7? From M$'s recent attitude to
continue to sell XP on netbooks, I'm guessing most computers on the net
are STILL good ol', reliable Win XP boxes. There must be billions of
them, plodding along through the average internet pinhole "broadband"
modems....

**Buggy Whip franchise**
YES! You will control the Market from N. C. through MS, including ALL of FL,
can you believe that?!?
All I need is bank routing and your account number. A offer that is only
once in a lifetime. You will be an absolute hit at the Waffle House,
Guaranteed, those waitresses will go wild!!!!

Thanks. It's interesting to note VISTA, all by itself, has 3 times the

Not in the computer world, but lack of Flash does matter in the mobile
world thanks to the great success of mobile iDevices, and the mobile
world is where the market action is currently.
It's an interesting battle. I'm _not_ a fan of Flash, but it's
essentially TOGIT (the Only Game in Town) on the Web until HTML5 is
established.
The basic issue is that pretty much _all_ current mobile devices
(Android included) cannot do Flash or WebM (derived from MKV), giving a
huge advantage to MPEG-4.
The related battle is between MPEG-4 (backed by Apple and the closed
Internet) and VP8/WebM (backed by Google and the open Internet). What
VP8/WebM needs but lacks is clear superiority and wide support -- MPEG-4
is awfully good (especially with a top quality encoder) and widely
supported.
Ironically, one of the things holding back WebM is the illicit market --
hackers are still mostly clinging to MPEG-4 ASP (Xvid, DivX) with MP3 in
the ancient AVI container format, plus a relatively small amount of
Theora and MPEG-4 AVC in the MKV container format. Hackers were a big
factor in the success of MP3, and might well do the same for WebM if
they get solidly behind it.
Much as I'd like to see WebM succeed, my own bet (FWIW) is on MPEG-4.
