    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.

    "iPhone 4.1 soon? Apple to fix antenna problems, blabs exec."
    <http://blogs.computerworld.com/16867/iphone_4_1_soon_apple_to_fix_antenna_problems_blabs_exec>

    An executive at Mexican carrier Telcel claimed that Apple is set to
    release a revised version of the iPhone 4. ... According to Marco
    Quatorze, Telcel's Director of Value Added Services ... as of September
    30th, when the free case program expires, revised hardware without the
    reception issues will become available.

    Mexican technology site canal-mx is reporting that Apple will be
    reengineering its iPhone 4 antenna design. ... Telcel recently began
    offering the iPhone 4 ... Mr. Quatorze was on the record when he ...
    stated that after the 30th a new revision of the iPhone 4, with some
    sort of internal antenna fix, would be made available by Apple.

    It is unusual for a carrier executive to have such advance knowledge of
    Apple's plans, or to be allowed to share it if he did. However, Quatorze
    also said that Telcel will have a number of options for early buyers to
    upgrade to the revised hardware without having to extend the usual
    two-year contract.

    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

    Distortion Field on iphone/ipad newsgroups.....(c;]

    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....

    Tell ya what, Lar. Don't tell anyone I did this - but, I can make you an
    *EXCELLENT* deal and you will be the exclusive distributor in the Southeast:

    **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,

    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.
