iPhone 4 pre-orders begin shipping Tweet

EVERYBODY PANIC! Wait. No. What’s that other thing we use to open posts sometimes?

Good news, everyone! Yeah. That’s the one. Good news, everyone! According to roughly 67 billion tips in our inbox, Pre-ordered iPhone 4s have just started hitting delivery trucks around the country!

If you pre-ordered, go ahead — go check if your status has changed. Don’t worry, we’ll wait. Actually, we won’t wait, because this is text and that is impossible.

Before you get too excited: just because your device shipped today and you live eighteen feet from a FedEx depot doesn’t mean that you’re getting your iPhone 4 early. Apple tends to have tricks up their sleeves to keep these things locked down until the big day (sort of like Santa, wherein Santa is Steve Jobs. Sorry, kids, Steve Jobs isn’t real.) With that said, some do slip through the cracks from time to time, so don’t be too ashamed if you’ve got an urge to camp out on your stoop. We’ll be right there with you (except on our own stoop, not yours. You’re cool and all, we just really like our stoop.)

First person to get their pre-order early gets.. uhh.. gets their iPhone 4 before everyone else! Hurray!

Toshiba unveils its ultraslim smart companion AC100 Tweet

Highly portable smart companion with always-on capability needs less than a second to wake up from standby mode.

Toshiba Europe GmbH today entered the mobile internet device market by introducing the Toshiba AC100, which is designed with a clamshell form factor.

Its slimness and light weight coupled with its always-on capability makes it the ideal device to consume media, browse the Internet and view and edit documents, emails and other messages while out and about. The AC100 can remain in standby mode for up to seven days. The highly personalisable 25.7cm (10.1'') AC100 will be available during the third quarter of 2010 throughout Europe, Middle East and Africa.

The best out of two worlds
“Our smart companion, the AC100, is a member of the mobile internet device segment that combines the best of two product categories: like a smartphone, it is always on, whilst offering the convenience of a clamshell netbook with a bigger screen and a full size keyboard,” says Thomas Teckentrup, General Manager, Product, Strategy and Development Division, Computer Systems Group EMEA. It is targeted at users who utilise several devices but still desire an easy-to use, slim and light smart companion that can be taken almost everywhere and that offers superior usability to that of smartphones.

No need to recharge every day
The AndroidTM based system takes less than a second to switch the AC100 from standby to full activity mode whilst supporting a smartphone-like ‘always-on’ capability. The Toshiba AC100 can go for up to seven days without having to be recharged. When being used intensively, it can provide at least eight hours of mixed browsing and video playback on one charge.

Simple-to-use and easy-to-personalise
The black and orange coloured AC100 is intuitively usable and offers the possibility to personalise the device by downloading applications and widgets. The AC100 ships with a number of applications pre-installed, amongst them Documents To Go®, for viewing and editing Microsoft Office files, an E-mail Client with POP3, IMAP and Exchange support, a messaging client, Opera Mobile for browsing the web as well as Toshiba Media Player for playing and viewing video, music and pictures.

Users can also deploy up to five home screens on their Toshiba AC100, which can be configured to change automatically depending on their location as indicated by the SSID . For example, an owner could set short-cuts to work-related applications, widgets and ‘live-files’ to appear on the home screen when they are in their office, personal applications and widgets when they are at home and entertainment-orientated applications and widgets everywhere else.

Mosaic Telecom to transform rural mobile broadband Tweet

Nokia Siemens Networks provides industry’s first standards compliant 3G femtocell solution with Airvana providing the 3G high speed packet access (HSPA) femtocell in advanced wireless services (AWS) spectrum.

Subscribers of Mosaic Telecom, a rural service provider in the United States, will soon enjoy guaranteed access to 3G services around their homes and offices. The operator is offering personal, mini, 3G base stations, connected via fixed broadband, to support high-quality quad-play services and mobile broadband in their premises. Mosaic has selected Nokia Siemens Networks’ industry-first 3GPP standard compliant femtocell network solution and Airvana’s 3G HSPA femtocell to provide personalized 3G coverage.

“Femtocells ensure subscribers enjoy the best indoor mobile voice, video and data services, and help offload traffic from the broader 3G network,” said Rick Vergin, chief executive officer of Mosaic Telecom. “In addition to securing higher customer satisfaction, we also expect this implementation to drive data traffic growth in the network, leading to increased average revenue per user (ARPUs).”

“The femtocell mini base station is important in further promoting 3G in rural areas,” said Mike Jurcy, head of channels for Nokia Siemens Networks in North America. “Mosaic Telecom has been a leader in the rural market, delivering top-quality 3G services to its customers, and this implementation will further improve the variety and quality of services, increasing customer loyalty levels and revenue generation.”

“In the past, femtocell deployments have been based on proprietary solutions,” said Amit Jain, vice president, femtocell product management, Airvana. “With the industry’s first 3GPP Release 8 standards based femto CPE device, we are helping the operator break new ground, encouraging an open ecosystem for future growth.”

Femtocells are small cellular access points that use a broadband Internet connection to provide consumers with an enhanced mobile connectivity experience in their premises. The end-to-end solution will comprise the Nokia Siemens Networks 3G Femto Gateway, Operation and Maintenance Server (OMS) and Provisioning Manager. Nokia Siemens Networks’ Value-Added Reseller (VAR), Pario Solutions, will commence the deployment of the solution in the third quarter of 2010.
