the price / cost of the Verizon iPhone data plan

the price / cost of the Verizon iPhone data plan : Only one data plan is available to iPhone owners on the Verizon Wireless network. Verizon requires iPhone 4 subscribers to sign up for an unlimited data plan. This plan costs $29.99 per month.

Verizon iPhone Insurance Pricing Revealed: $10.99 Per Month

Verizon iPhone Insurance Pricing Revealed: $10.99 Per Month : Though it hasn't yet been announced by Verizon, details of insurance options that will be available to Verizon iPhone owners are now available through Asurion's web site. Asurion is the third-party company that backs the mobile phone insurance Verizon combines with it's extended device warranty and markets to customers as Verizon TEC (Total Equipment Coverage). Although Verizon customers that own smartphones similar in price to the Verizon iPhone insure and protect their devices for $7.99 a month, at $10.99 a month, iPhone owners aren't so lucky.

That is, if you consider $7.99 per month for insurance that comes with high deductibles "lucky" in the first place. From a deductible perspective, things are even worse for Verizon iPhone owners than they are when considering the monthly fee hike. Should you opt for Verizon / Asurion's TEC coverage on your Verizon iPhone, expect to pay a whopping $199 deductible in the event that you do need to file a claim.

Perhaps all is not lost for Verizon iPhone owners. AT&T iPhone owners might be jealous. A similar plan through AT&T (who also partners with Asurion) is at least a bit pricier $11.99 a month, even considering the fact that replacement costs (to the consumer) are considerably higher for the CDMA iPhone versus the GSM / AT&T iPhone. Also, as the table above shows, Verizon customers can opt-out of the warranty portion of the coverage and save $1.81 per month.

AT&T and Asurion made waves last year when they announced their similarly high-priced option for insuring and protecting the GSM / AT&T iPhone (originally priced at $13.99 per month). Has Verizon squandered an opportunity to add to the "reasons to switch" list for disgruntled AT&T iPhone owners?

Many AT&T iPhone owners have chosen other third-party insurance and warranty providers, such as Worth Ave Group and SquareTrade, which offer significantly lower monthly rates and deductibles.

Windows 7 mobile for businesses Review

Windows 7 mobile for businesses Review : Windows 7 mobile for businesses ; Microsoft is betting the farm on its new mobile phone operating system, in a high-stakes attempt to succeed in the world of smartphones. I’ve covered earlier Windows operating systems for phones and found them largely uninspiring. Happily, the new version puts most things right. It launches on six phones in the UK on Thursday 21 October.

At first glance, it seems to have turned its back on the business community that was its chief source of custom. This is a consumer-focused system, full of stylish effects and non-business aspects like social networking apps and video playback. It divides the phone into six hubs and only one of them (called Office) is business-oriented. In fact one, Xbox Live, is dedicated to gaming so is definitely not a productivity tool.

But the more you explore, the better Windows Phone 7 appears, business-wise. There are the small touches, like finding your way to a meeting. Touch the calendar, press the address of the meeting and the phone recognises it and takes you to a map, zooming in so that when you’re at street level it shows you a satellite photo to help you spot the building. Better still, if you’ve been delayed, one touch on the Late button in the calendar creates an SMS or email with text to warn your colleagues you’re not going to be on time. This is neat, though it remains to be seen if it subliminally encourages tardiness.

There is one major flaw, frankly all that holds it back from a fifth star: the Office hub includes versions of Word and Excel, which is great, but there’s no cut and paste facility. Given that it’s best to minimise typing on a phone’s virtual keyboard, the lack of a feature to move a paragraph up a page, say, is annoying. Microsoft promised that an update will fix this, but it won't arrive until next year, so if you plan to work on documents a lot, it may be worth holding back.

Although there are half a dozen phones available at launch, there is much uniformity between them. Microsoft has insisted on specifications including screen resolution, processor speed and other features.

I’d choose one of the three HTC handsets: the Mozart has a great unibody casing and the large-screened HD7 is a worthy successor to HTC’s HD2, reviewed here in the past. Though not perfect, Windows Phone 7 is different and exciting, it looks fresh and is easy to use. And once cut and paste is working it will be a sensational business tool.

new US networks block shows from Google TV

new US networks block shows from Google TV ; It means that hit television shows, such as The Office and CSI cannot be viewed through Google TV, a new service from the search giant that makes it easier for people to access on-demand content, scheduled television and the best of the internet through special set-top boxes or enabled TVs.

The reasons for the action have not officially been stated, but it is thought that some broadcasters are concerned Google TV will cannibalise existing revenue streams, and could tip the balance of power away from broadcasters and the networks in favour of Google.
