Email

The Author of this post is Solomon Dejesus

I probably check my email 20 to 30 times a day. I have become addicted. I am constantly checking my email because I do not have a smart phone. I understand that I am in the minority, but I am unwilling to pay the extra monthly costs to have internet access on my phone. I know many people have smart phones, and they are alerted whenever a new email comes in. Since I do not have a smart phone, I just check my email all of the time. I check it while I am at work, and I check it when I get home through my clear wireless internet Odessa. The only problem is that I have so much junk mail all of the time. Every time I have made a purchase online, I give my email address out. Now I get emails from every company from whom I have ever purchased a product. It is ridiculous. I am addicted to checking my email, but I have to check it a lot because I am constantly deleting all of the junk mail that comes into my inbox.

An App for Widespread Chaos?

According to The Times of India, social networks are swiftly replacing cell phones as the preferred means of communication in Australia. A similar trend could be noted in the United States, as many people seek to purchase smart phones that support social networking applications to stay in touch with friends and loved ones.

What does this mean for the cell phone market? It means that any cell phones that aren’t smart phones should just throw in the towel, for one. But it also has implications in the larger mobile device category. Smart phones will need to be all the more useful for consumers to continue to bother with them. Texting is still popular in most countries, but soon the capabilities of smart phones could win out over the limited (albeit, fast) communication through texting.

In the end, as long as smart phones play their cards right and remember that relevance is the name of the game, they should be fine in the broader consumer market. After all, what would people do if they couldn’t access their social network to communicate with friends instantaneously? I’m betting on widespread chaos.

Nokia and Microsoft Hit all the Right Notes

Recently, Nokia made what many believed to be an impossible comeback at the Consumer Electronics Show.

A few short years ago, many attendees thought that Nokia was certainly out of the race against iPhone and Android products. However, in 2011, Nokia was chosen by Microsoft to design the first of its Windows smart phones.

The Lumia 900, Nokia and Window’s smart phone combination opened at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show to rave reviews from users. The phone runs on LTE wireless networks, and should be arriving in the United States in March.

People have already begun to buzz about what this phone could mean for Nokia’s competition, namely Apple and Android products. This phone is likely to restore Nokia to its former glory, and perhaps help it to surpass many top-name competitors in its race for smart phone glory.

Meanwhile, the partnership between Nokia and Microsoft has helped both companies to experience increased attention in the news media.

The Best Internet Plan

I’m really not a big technology person, but I do see why so many people think having internet on their phone is absolutely necessary. I just find it difficult to spend a lot of money from any cell phone company, when I’m not going to use the internet very often. I have my Nokia phone, which I pretty much just use to talk on and listen to music. I don’t find myself using it too often to surf the web, as i use my laptop on the go. My phone is just so small to see any website, and it’s just pointless.
To prevent myself from spending a lot of money when I’m using the internet on my laptop, I rely on companies which let me pay a lower price than the big time companies require. Clearwirelessinternet4g.com offers plans as low as $35.00 per month, which is much lower than the major companies.
