In the News Highlights

Hey there!--

Since we didn't have an "In the News Highlights" post last week because it was the Memorial Day holiday, today's blog post is going to include news from 5-22 to 6-4. Let me know if there is any piece of news not included in this post that you would like to see added, and I will make sure and post it!

Wilson News
5-23: "Sleek is a sophisticated cell phone booster"--Our very own Sleek is featured in the Globe and Mail: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/car-life/gizmos/sleek-is-a-sophisticated-cell-phone-booster/article2028349/

6-1: This next bit of news is pretty awesome! Remember Wilson's infographic "How the World is Using Cellphones" that we came out with back in December? Well, it was featured on Mashable last year, and this week they just named it as one of the best infographics of 2010! How cool is that? See it here for yourself: http://mashable.com/2010/12/27/best-infographics-2010/

Industry News
5-23: "The structure of the geosocial universe" (awesome infographic & stats) Personally, I was surprised to see that Hotmail is still the most common email service. However, Gmail is gaining on it fast--http://techcrunch.com/2011/05/20/infographic-a-look-at-the-size-and-shape-of-the-geosocial-universe-in-2011/

5-23: "T-Mobile USA unveils three new tiered data plans for smartphones." Say goodbye to unlimited data plans folks. Pretty interesting that if you go over your alloted data amount, T-Mobile will not charge you extra like other carriers. However, users will have their data speeds throttled down to an EDGE, or 2G, experience of around 100 Kbps or less. Which option is better--slow data or extra fees? http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/t-mobile-quietly-launches-tiered-data-plans-smartphones/2011-05-23?utm_medium=nl&utm_source=internal

5-27: Did you know that 1 in 5 smartphone users now check-in? I do have to admit that I am a foursquare addict, so this stat makes sense to me. How about you? Do you embrace the check-in, or are you still a bit apprehensive? http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1008410
