Can you give up your Cable/DSL/Fiber-optic internet service? On a whim, I decided to put my cable internet service on hold for a while just to see if I could use my iPhone and it’s unlimited data plan for all my browsing needs. I’m not a heavy internet user, but I was actually very surprised at how much data I do consume over the month, yes there’s an app for that! In this two part series, I’ll cover my experience using a jailbroken iPhone to tether, the second installment will be about connectivity with Sprint Overdrive 3G/4G, with my final thoughts on the two methods.

Android won't be the only mobile OS to support Flash

Adobe announced at the Mobile World Congress that it’s releasing Flash player 10.1 and Adobe AIR for the Android platform. It also announced recently that BlackBerry would support Flash. Not only will Android be able to view Flash content through it’s browser, Android mobile applications can be created using Adobe AIR. Among the mobile platforms expected to support Flash 10.1 include Research in Motion’s BlackBerry, the Symbian OS, which is used by Nokia and other smartphone makers; Palm’s WebOS and Microsoft’s Windows Mobile. Apple does not support Flash on the iPhone. Adobe has released a beta version of a white paper (http://blogs.adobe.com/flashmobiledocs/2010/02/optimizing_mobile_content.html) created by Thibault Imbert to articulate the process of authoring and optimizing Flash content for mobile platforms. The mobile version of AIR will make it possible for applications running on the platform to take advantage of features within the device’s OS, such as multi-touch, gesture inputs, accelerometer, geo-location and screen orientation. Although this is great for the Flash platform, it is still unsupported on some of the most popular mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch).

I received an invitation to join Google Voice a few months ago and I wasn’t too sure if the service was worth the effort to set up. But an invitation to a true Google beta program is pretty rare, so I decided to try the service out for a while and re-evaluate my participation. For those that don’t know, Google Voice is a service that allows a single phone number to ring multiple phones with filtering for contact, group, time of day, or any combination of the three. Google Voice also provides numerous features such as: free web-based text messaging and even free mobile phone messaging when used with the appropriate mobile app, transcribed voice mail, and the ability to initiate a phone call from the web. I was able to download GV Mobile into my iPhone before Apple booted it from the app store, I consider myself pretty lucky as I can use the Google Voice services a little more brainlessly (is this even a word) than non-GV Mobile users. First let’s discuss one downside with the concept of call forwarding, how I was able to work past it and then all the glorious features Google has thrown in that should have you clicking over to sign up for an account.
