I think everyone can agree that playing Call of Duty and Need for Speed on your cell phone is not as enjoyable as playing the full versions of the games on your popular gaming console. Game play is slow and the controls on the phone make it difficult to play the way you need to. Yet, now that gaming is becoming more popular and the wireless industries are introducing newer and faster features they are creating better ways to enjoy games on our mobile phones.
'Cellphones' At AfterTek
SoftBank Mobile Corporation is Japan’s fastest growing mobile operator. This week they stated that they had signed an agreement with Apple that will allow them to sell the iPhone to all of their customers. The phones will be available later this year.
This mobile carrier uses only 2G and 3G networks. Because of this many of us are hoping that Apple will be coming out with a new version of the handset to allow them to run on 3G networks. Apple and SoftBank have been trying to come out with an agreement for up to two years since May of 2006. Apple was also talking to NTT DoCoMo – which is at this time Japan’s largest mobile carrier.
T-Mobile has finally launched their first 3G (third-generation) network in New York – but there are unseen complications that no one was expecting. Consumers were eager to test it out – but soon discovered that they were unable to use the fast speeds that are offered by the network. Consumers have the ability to use their phones that will enable them to download information at the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) speeds that reach speeds of 384K bps (bits per second).
