WiMax technology offers high-speed Internet access on mobile devices like cellphones, laptops, UMPC. The world’s biggest phone producer, Nokia, is going to use the WiMax technology on their mobile. Nokia said in a statement that “plans to bring its first WiMAX enabled mobile device to market in early 2008″.

The US rival, Motorola also plans to launch its first mobile to use WiMax in 2008. Samsung unveiled at 3GSM Congress in Barcelona two handsets that use the WiMax technology. Samsung, Intel, Motorola and Nokia will support the open-standard WiMax as an alternative wireless Internet to the 3G networks which have Internet problems when voice callers are crowding the network.

WiMax offers better Internet access, but it is not so good on voice calls. Maybe the technology will get better or the phone providers will find a way to merge the two networks in a single mobile phone. - MIHNEA BOIANGIU

Motorola is shipping the new Miniblue headset H9. They claim that the Motorola H9 Miniblue Bluetooth headset is the smallest in the industry. It weights 7.5g and it measures only 30 x 23 mm. The tiny device will offer around 7.5 hours talk time and up to 500 hours in standby mode.

The Miniblue headset works in a 10m range. Motorola promises bold technology in a tiny package. The sound quality impresses, because the H9’s design doesn’t permit the noise to affect your conversation. The in-ear wearing style blocks the outside noise. Moreover the echo and noise reduction technology will contribute to the clear sound. You can buy the Motorola Miniblue Bluetooth Headset H9 from online stores for $179.99.

The advertising campaign chose David Beckham, the new soccer sensation in US, to promote the device.

Motorola is trying to solve the problems for those that use headsets and are very upset about the fact that they lose it after a few hours of usage. Besides the fact that it makes you look funny having something in your ear, dieing shortly thanks to the battery is no where near satisfactory. Motorola H680 is the solution, because of eight continuous hours of battery life.

If the life battery is just like they said, and if the price is good, we will have a new winner because even if it’s not the best design, it will be selected because of the long lasting battery. We’re waiting it for the third quarter of 2007.
