В середине апреля Samsung уже собирал журналистов, для того чтобы показать свои фотокамеры, продвинутые компактные мыльницы. Хотя я начинаю сомневаться, уместно ли в наше время называть подобные нашпигованные технологиями устройства мыльницами. Четыре месяца спустя корейский гигант расширяет линейку компактных моделей с помощью трех новых фотоаппаратов: парочки ST500 и ST550, а также старшей, но несколько иной по назначению модели ST1000.
14 December 2004 Moscow City Telephone Network (MGTS) has started to provide IP-telephony services, to the delight of many of his more than four million subscribers. Rejoice for long: after exactly nine days after this remarkable event became known to the resignation of Mikhail Smirnov, who held the post of general director of MGTS since the summer of 2003. A few days later about the new service has disappeared from the Internet site of MGTS on a dedicated phone answering machine says "service temporarily not available", and tariffs MGTS to international and domestic long-distance IP-connection is now only see visitors Mobile-Review. To paraphrase a classic: "Who is to blame and that done?"
Advertise with the image of this cute little animals with a snug-rounded often glimpsed in the subway cars. In the narrow circles of the "Zebra" tease "Hippo-Telecom, but this behemoth nerazvorotlivosti IP-operator can not be reproached.
In Russia, a very brief period of time when operators are not only selling telecommunications services, but also the source of supply of subscriber equipment that is sold to mobile phones. Over the years, participants in those events say that the trade was of phones forced, retail market phones did not exist and the operators to get it sorted as best we could. Wickedness in these words a lot more than the truth. If you look at the European market, which development is ahead of Russia today at 3-4 years, and then outpaced a good dozen years, we see the opposite picture: today, independent retailers, offering mobile phones, in Europe there is little, the whole market is monopolized shops acting under the auspices of the operators and owned by them in varying degrees. At the stage of network development, when the cover was minimal, and the customer base in the hundreds of people, operators have begun to develop and retail businesses. For them, creating points of presence was normal, and the network evolved simultaneously on the cover, and retail salons. In our country, the operators have decided to save money and reduce their risks, retail business, none of them did not develop, allowing many independent companies to become major retailers in Russia. And for operators phones have become just an appendage to the networks, and often annoying appendage: compatibility testing takes time, needs constant adjustment of own software, which is not ideal, the creation of options for additional services to users, answering questions, users, etc. The operator does not understand the business of mobile phones, in fact, all operators until recently in one voice declared that the sale terminals - non-core business that they are not interesting. But with the saturation of the market of communication services and a decrease in revenue growth from sales of voice traffic operators needed to find new ways to increase profitability. One of the main areas was the development of non-voice services as a priority feature is called work to create their own phones. By "their own mobile phones" refers not machines, created from scratch and adapting existing solutions with a clear binding to a specific operator. By binding we mean no SIM lock, but rather a set of functional characteristics with which the phone receives the new quality, expanding its functionality and consumer appeal, respectively, increases.
Cell phone operators do not cease to lament at his hard fate, and CPP-threatening tuning rates - of course, a big party. Parallel to strive here and there quietly nip off pieces of money - probably do not want to traumatize the delicate psyche of subscribers direct price increases. Do not forget about the additional services that are also quite able to provide some profit. And it is - the right way, as they say "welcome entirely." For here we are with you reserve the right to choose, do not like it - do not use.
Just yesterday one of the owners of the iPhone in Russia will be a global update your phone to iTunes is available an updated version of the operating system with an index of 3.0. A list of changes is very long, I would like to dwell on the most important things and allow us to say that in front of us, in fact, it appears the new device. I will write later with the arrival of new MacBook Pro, an article about the announcement of the company, iPhone 3GS, but so far I wanted to stay here for nothing. It turns out interesting, we all know and remember the simple truth. If the update globally, the company - phone manufacturers often come up under this thing updated for new devices. I can not remember any update for Nokia or Sony Ericsson, where in-one converged to supplements in the form of stereo-bluetooth, tethering, Shake control, plus a search, the opportunity to work with the keyboard in landscape mode in certain applications and so on and the like. Update my impression from the phone, like previously I personally do not recall. Moreover, there happened curious - OS 3.0 involves the 'old' phones, and the player iPod Touch. However, for the latter it is not free, will cost almost ten dollars. But there is a "new" phone called iPhone 3GS, it was originally supplied with the latest software and hardware is better demonstrates the new capabilities of the operating system. In the near future, I think you will find an overview of this device, open a little secret - it may happen that the localized version gets into my hands a little earlier than in any other. Another reason to go to the section.
With the advent of mobile phones, having the ability to connect to a computer, gradually began to appear and the program can not only synchronize the address book, but also exhibit a number of other features. For example, the creation of ringtones, images, logos and so on with subsequent transfer to the phone. After the development of Bluetooth, markedly increased and the possibility of using the programs. We offer you several programs for phones SonyEricsson.
Once published the first part of the review programs for phones Sony Ericsson, a mailbox simply burst. Letters from indignant fans SE came a huge amount. The text of each of them can be reduced to about something like this: "Why do not you write about FMA?»
Sony Ericsson has confronted with the fact that its software for synchronizing phone with a PC inferior to that of other manufacturers. To the output of Sony Ericsson W900 scheduled for release PC Suite version 11, but the developers have not had time to prepare it. Now we should expect this version bundled with Sony Ericsson W810i. I'll note that a set of programs suitable for all, without exception, phone companies, which may be connected to the PC as a data cable and using infrared and bluetooth.
During the parliamentary hearings in the State Duma, Minister of Information Technologies and Communications Leonid Reiman said that the Communications Ministry this year will develop regulations for the phone number for the subscriber when it switch to another mobile operator: "As an additional means to protect the rights of subscribers proposed legislative safeguards to preserve the rights to use a subscriber telephone number when changing operator. " The minister said that in many countries this practice exists and encourages competition between network operators.
