If you have been using Outlook Mobile Manager (OMM), you may be interested in knowing that Microsoft Research has released version 2.1 of this very useful tool.
OMM allows email delivered to your Outlook Inbox, to be forwarded to a mobile device, be it a cell phone, smartphone, or PDA Phone. The system learns what emails are important to forward, and which are not based on your actions. Omm can also forward appointment reminders in addition to emails.
Some new features in version 2.1:
Supports POP3, in addition to Exchange email accounts.
Enhanced support for native junk-email filters.
Extended personalization to examples from arbitrary folders
Well, I’ve waited quite awhile to see a day like today. You couldn’t get away from it! Certainly, Cingular & Verizon have had days like this, but T-Mobile has always been treated like an also-ran when it comes to phones and service in the media.
But today was different – literally, everyone had coverage of the newly announced T-Mobile Dash Smartphone. And well they should – the Dash is everything the Moto Q was supposed to be. Affordable, usable, fast, compelling features, etc.
HTC, the company that makes the actual hardware, has a long history of building quality handsets running Windows Mobile Smartphone. The Dash is the latest variant of their capabilities.
So check out some of the following links for more information – pretty much everybody covered the news of the launch of the T-Mobile Dash today. One more thing to note – T-Mobile USA is the first division of T-Mobile International to get this phone. Usually one of the European arms in the UK or Germany gets the new phones first! Kind of interesting on that alone.
the::unwired – CONFIRMED: T-Mobile USA announced the HTC Excalibur as T-Mobile Dash
As expected, T-Mobile today announced that their 3G UMTS rollout was already underway. With 50% of New York already completed, T-Mobile has obviously been active in the background working ahead of the spectrum acquisitions to get a jump on the 3G market.
With a completion schedule into 2009, and service to be available to customers next summer, the rollout is quite accelerated. BetaNews also mentioned the spokesperson changes, new plan options, and the UMA WiFi-based services announced late last month.
It seems eWeek and the::unwired are suggesting that T-Mobile USA will be holding a press conference on Friday (10/6/2006) in New York to announce the carrier’s move into UMTS (or 3G) services.
T-Mobile will utilize the 1700MHz and 2100MHz bands in North America, which are not the same bands used elsewhere in the world. This will require handset makers to incorporate multiple UMTS bands in their devices if they are to be able to roam on any UMTS service.
This news is not surprising due to the recent spectrum purchases that T-Mobile was able to win in the last FCC Auction. You can find some pricing speculation at the::unwired, and more strategic analysis at eWeek – links below.
@MAC_Arms Pay taxes when you make your money, pay taxes when you spend your money, pay taxes when you successfully invest your money, pay taxes when you save enough taxed money to afford a house, pay taxes to live in your house, pay taxes when you sell the house that you paid taxes on to
Yup, taxes are criminal and we need serious reforms. I've always said that if you want to see a tax revolt, make withholdings illegal and have Americans write a tax check every payday. They'll revolt for sure. You don't miss what you never had.
Sen. @berniemoreno says voter ID and proof of citizenship are simply common sense.
