Wireless and mobile high-speed internet are the two emerging technologies for best mobile broadband internet service. Both are remarkably identical in that they have similar objectives and application; both enable worldwide wireless data network connectivity for laptops, cell phones and other computing devices. However, these two leading internet technologies have been locked in a battle for supremacy.

And for those consumers who are in a fix as to whether they should opt for a wireless broadband internet connection or high-speed mobile internet, there are very few resources on the internet that will actually be of much help to them. When considering either of the two internet connections, there are a range of important factors that need to be kept in mind.

Different wireless internet service vendors use either wireless broadband or mobile high-speed internet largely judging from how the technologies stand to benefit their business in the long run. There are, for example, cellular network service providers in America like Sprint that prefer using Wireless internet service. Similarly, other cities in America are bustling with AT&T and Verizon subscribers, both of which support mobile high-speed internet.

Availability

Cellular network providers in the U.S. have successfully introduced mobile high-speed internet technology into local markets as a much-needed replacement to outdated technologies for internet data communication. On the other hand, wireless internet networks have already gained widespread popularity in the U.S. owing to the fact that they govern a wider network coverage area.

This has allowed companies to deploy wireless internet services with more ease, especially in areas that lack mobile high-speed internet. It can be said that the primary factor that drives a company’s preference for either of the two wireless internet services is simply the availability of hardware. Similarly, for consumers the choice rests on which of the two services is readily available in the region, and which offers a wider network coverage area with better speed and reliability.

Speed

Both wireless internet and mobile high-speed internet boast incredible data transfer rates. In theory, both internet technologies have the capacity to deliver amazing data transfer speeds of between 10 Mbps to nearly 50 Mbps. However, when put into practice, a wide array of limiting factors invariably come into play restricting the overall speed of internet to around 10 Mbps. These factors usually include considerations such as the location of the customer, time of the day and prevailing weather conditions.

Wireless Spectrum

Wireless internet does not follow a predetermined or preset band for transmitting wireless signals. In places outside of the U.S., providers of wireless internet service have conventionally targeted the 3.5 GHz band and it has since then become the standard for mobile broadband technologies. However, in most U.S. states, the 3.5 GHz band has been largely reserved for government agencies and law enforcement authorities.

As a result, the wireless internet networks operating within the U.S. can, in practice, only promise a band of up to 2.5 GHz and not higher even though various options for ranges are available for them. Similarly, providers of mobile high-speed internet use a band of nearly 700 MHz which is equivalent to 0.7 GHz.

In comparison, a higher signaling frequency would theoretically allow wireless internet networks to support transmission of larger volumes of data than is allowed by mobile high-speed internet. However, owing to its higher frequency, wireless networks can only support data transfer over shorter areas where mobile high-speed internet boasts a longer coverage area.

Additionally, wireless internet data transfers traditionally have a higher susceptibility to interference by signals of other data carriers; this affects the efficiency of data transfers at times. Mobile high-speed internet connections on the other hand have a higher level of immunity to interference making them efficient at transmitting data over longer ranges.

Study shows from an online sharing tool that Pinterest now drives more traffic than Twitter. It was based on an analytics from 200,000 publishers which reach 270 million unique visitors a month.

It was big news back in February that Pinterest surpassed Google +, Youtube and Linkedin combined in referral traffic, but Twitter has made a name for itself as the de facto sharing network with URL shorteners abounding and real-time, concise flow of information.

Still, Pinterest closed the gap within the last month going from a .85 percent share of referral traffic visits to 1.05 percent from January to February. The social pinboard site is now trailing behind Facebook and StumbleUpon. And remember, Pinterest is still invite only.

This proposed law will need approval from the EU’s member state followed by the ratification from European Parliament that takes up to two years to be approved. But when that time comes, this law unify all 27 EU member states under a single set of privacy rules.

Viviane Reding, a spokeperson for European Union justice commissioner, and Matthew Newman, said that the proposed law are for protecting young people because we, yes we i’m included because im still young , are not aware that there are always consequences in putting pictures and personal details on social networking sites.

You, as an Internet user, do you think we should be granted a “right to be forgotten” law? Care to share what’s on your mind right now? Because me, i don’t want to be forgotten. If you know what i mean, hehe.

Mobile marketing is expected to penetrate in the Philippines with Filipinos now getting matured and responsive to mobile browsing. The latest data from Yahoo Index Net 2011 revealed 57% of women and 43% of men getting accustomed into mobile browsing. The report suggested a better indication to brands and advertisers in the region to embrace seriously into mobile advertising tactic. Telecom industry and technology providers, on other hand, are seen to become active players in the Philippine advertising scene.

Overall, the app is super simple in design, but it is functional. As you can see in an iPhone snapshot to the left, the app has three tabs — Search, Stations and Popular. The Search tab lets you look for artists, songs and albums. When you find a song you want to hear from your searches, tap the song and it will begin playing and show up in a black bar at the bottom of the screen.

The Stations tab shows all kinds of pre-made radio stations, such as 80s, 90s Alt Rock, Ambient, Indie and R&B. And the Popular tab shows several of the most-listened to songs playing on Grooveshark. We’d definitely like to see more additions, such as artwork on songs that are playing and social recommendations, but this is still beta so we expect more in the future.

Have you checked out Grooveshark’s HTML5 app? What do you think?

“The goal is to help local businesses adopt into a technical-free mobile initiative where their focus will be managing and optimizing their campaigns. They provide them with ‘user-friendly’ tools to take control of all their needs in their mobile campaigns”, says Frederick Saurat, co-founder of TheTMSway.

It also provides a new and easy way to access directly to a mobile offer via a simple TMS code, (a new generation of free intelligent shortcodes associated to a new mobile search engine of code ‘TMS search’) which reduces the time of browsing at a mobile site and shortens long URL addresses.

“Their recent tests done with TV broadcasters in Asia have shown an impressive result in terms of consumer adoption and inspired them more in their objective of making TMS become a new, and post SMS, standard to bring excitement in the new generation of phones,” adds Mr. Saurat.

“They are working already with major brands and media agencies to transform traditional media ad campaigns into real time ‘interactive touch points’ using it to bridge consumers; and now, with this new M-Commerce platform, they can also propose to clients to associate a ‘real time and personalized mobile deal’ to certain of their offline campaigns. At the same time, consumers using TMS will be able to discover a new product, buy it at a privileged price, and recommend it to friends”, says Jonathan Ellis, CEO of TheTMSway.

Desktop users of Gmail have been able to login into multiple accounts simultaneously for some time–mobile users can now do it, also. Accessing multiple accounts is as easy as tapping the new account switcher button at the bottom of mobile Gmail’s browser interface. That will display a pop-up menu that gives you the option of switching between accounts or signing in to all accounts simultaneously.

“Of course, if you don’t already have multiple accounts enabled, you will need to enable it first by visiting your account settings and selecting the box that allows you to access multiple Google accounts in the same browser,” Juli Clover reminded Gmail users in the PadGadget blog.

If you do use multiple accounts, you might want to create a bookmark that lives on the application screen of your device for each account. Not all devices support this feature, but iOS phones and tablets, which use the Safari browser, do. On those devices, while Gmail is in your browser window, tap the bookmark icon beside the address bar and from the pop-up menu that appears, choose “Add to Home Screen.”

The additions aren’t huge; they’re mostly standard features that are just new to this version of the service. There are still quite a few reasons to pull up the web version of Gmail, and an update like this makes things easier for those times. Despite all of its issues, I would still recommend hooking up your Gmail to the iPhone’s mail app, but having the web service to use when you want is very helpful. – tuaw

As Google aptly titled its blog post announcing the change; AdMob is for mobile app developers. AdSense is for mobile web publishers.

And for mobile apps advertising, all AdSense for Mobile Applications beta participants have been switched to AdMob, which Google says is now the primary ad solution for mobile app developers. But Google is still sorting out the overlap and determined that mobile web publishers should go to AdSense, and mobile app publishers should use AdMob.
