T-Mobile is hoping to take a bite out of Apple by releasing an App store of their very own. While Apple has been very successful thus far with their release, they are only working with 1 phone in 2 flavors. T -Mobile is planning to support all of their handset line up, and open the process to developers. Developers will have a simplistic application process. Don't worry developers, those that are in the know with their revenue sharing details have called their developer compensation plan "Very Generous". More information will become available as they get closer to their expected release. The mad rush to Tmo's App store could be as soon as this Fall.

Nuance has announced a new application in the customers service sector for cellular phones. The applications will be activated by dialing customer care, the the phone will switch to the ap. The application will be capable of displaying such information as current billing information, allowing the customer to make web-based payments, showing the minutes of use, and other vital account information. More in-depth details will be available via a live representative. The hope is the application will be able to identify the proper customer service department, and transfer the customer for one call resolution. This should be an amazing development in the cellular sector in the way of customer satisfaction with the care departments. A cellular carrier has not yet been announced. Nuance is a leader in voice recognition technology, and the owner of award winning voice recognition solution Dragon Naturally Speaking. I would expect to see version two of the application support their voice recognition technology.

There is alot of confusion reguarding data. Here is an article that I wrote about the new 4th generation data technologies titled. The Great 4th Generation Data face Off.
