T-Mobile to roll out UMA in September?

I have a hard time believing this – they only went into beta a week or two ago.

Still, if its true, this would be the first commercial implementation of Unlicensed Mobile Access. This service allows subscribers to use either cellular service or WiFi service to place & receive phone calls.

With T-Mobile having such an extensive WiFi Hotspot network, in addition to supporting free access points, and in conjunction with their GSM network, would allow users to make inexpensive calls many additional locations.

Microsoft LiveDrive – Confirmed?

MSFN is reporting that MS confirmed the online storage service at a blogger’s breakfast in Sydney, Australia.

Speaking at a blogger’s breakfast prior to the opening of Tech.Ed in Sydney, Microsoft Australia technical specialist John Hodgson said that the basic Live Drive was likely to include around 2G of storage for free. Additional storage capacity would be available for purchase, though pricing schemes and final release dates haven’t been announced.

It’d be nice if this were true, guess we’ll wait this one out to see.
