A new app called Ovation aims to help productions both live and online figure out what their audience thinks. It requires no downloads, and no sign-ups on the user’s part and it’s totally free right now. The app is pretty simple is straight forward.

Either slide the bar up or down, because either it is good or bad. It works across a bunch of smartphones and mobile devices. So go ahead and tell these people what you think about their show.

A new subscription service will let certain T-Mobile customers get more information about unknown callers. The new caller ID service for certain phones will display the name, city, and state of callers, including unknown callers, not just the people in your contact list.

Name ID will cost $3.99 per month after a free 10-day trial. Right now it’s available for the Samsung Exhibit 4G, but will make it’s way to other handsets after awhile. The T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide should get it before the month is over.

Soon AT&T will offer insurance for your iPhone. They will start covering the iPhone on July 17, the company’s existing mobile insurance policy will offer coverage against loss, theft, accidental physical or liquid damage, and mechanical and/or electrical failure after Apple’s warranty expires.

The plan already covers other phones and mobile devices. Insuring an iPhone will cost $4.99 a month for each mobile number and a $50 or $125 deductible will be applied for each claim, depending on the model of iPhone. AT&T will replace the phone within the next business day in most cases with either a new or remanufactured phone but is limiting the number of claims to two within 12 months.

It’s not a surprise, but T-Mobile has confirmed some earlier rumors involving three Android-based phones from Samsung. The Samsung Exhibit 4G and Gravity Smart will both be launching on June 22nd, and the Samsung Dart is available today for free with a two-year contract.

The Exhibit 4G is the highest-end here, with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and Android 2.3. The Gravity Smart has Android 2.2 and a QWERTY keyboard, while the Dart is a low-end mystery as far as specs are concerned. We do know that it has a 600MHz processor and 3.1-inch QVGA display.

A few days back T-Mobile announced 2 new mid range Android phones, the Samsung Exhibit 4G, available in Black and Violet, and the Samsung Gravity Smart. However there is another mid range Android phone coming to T-Mobile. The Samsung Dart, otherwise known as the Samsung T499 or Galaxy Mini.

The Samsung Dart is the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy Mini, and will come in gray. The Samsung Dart will feature a 240x 320 screen, a 2MP Camera, no flash, 3G bands, Bluetooth 2.1, Android 2.2.

These days phones have invaded every aspect of our lives. However according to the experts at WHO, they emit radio-frequency waves which when absorbed by the human body prove harmful. The powers-that-be have come up with a standard called Specific absorption rate (SAR) and the FCC now requires cell phone makers to report the SAR level of their devices. The upper cap on acceptable levels is less than or equal to 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg).

Here is a list of the top 10 lowest radiation emitting cell phones.

Samsung’s president of the mobile division, JK Shin, says that the company plans to launch a 4G tablet later this year. We don’t know if it will be a 4G version of one of Samsung’s new tablets that have already been announced, or if this is a completely new tablet.

He also said that we can expect to see the new Samsung Galaxy S III in the first half of 2012. The company’s Galaxy range of smartphones and tablets have been a great success, so they obviously want to build on this.

Keeping your phone juiced up while at a festival or large event is hard to do. Some independent companies have even set up camps and charge festival-goers to power their smartphones. But now the Vodafone VIP recharging truck is on the road and headed to 11 festivals this year.

The truck offers Vodafone customers the opportunity to charge up completely free of charge. That way you can go on snapping pics and texting away. This 44 ton vehicle can charge 2,000 devices at once just as quickly as it would at home. They are expecting to charge over 72,000 mobile devices this summer alone. That’s a lot of juice.

If you want to make smaller phones, you need to make SIM cards smaller right? That’s just what Apple is doing. Apple has submitted plans for a smaller SIM card to the European Telecoms Standards Institute (ETSI) and has also received the backing of a number of major mobile operators including Orange.

The development and approval process will take a few months, maybe longer, but there seems to be a broad consensus among members of the standards committee, so that should speed up the process. Aside from making devices smaller, this standardized SIM card would also be used by other companies. This is odd for Apple since it usually restricts its developments to its own products.

The new Motorola Droid X2 should go on sale later this month much to our delight and maybe it will happen on the rumored date of May 26th, next Thursday.

To refresh your memory the Motorola Droid X2 will feature a dual core 1GHz processor, a 4.3 inch qHD display with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels, and an 8 megapixel camera.

Tuesday was supposed to be the day for the launch of Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Play Android gaming smartphone for Vodafone New Zealand. But there was a problem. Turns out there was a major security breach and thieves made off with the launch shipment of handsets.

The launch shipment of phones has been stolen.

Then there’s the i412. A more basic flip phone with a VGA camera, web access, support for Java games, predictive text entry and more.

Netflix finally has an Android app that is publicly available. The app is pretty identical to the one released for the iPhone and it lets users manage their instant queue and watch videos. Of course to use it you need a subscription starting from $8.

Thing is, only a handful of phones can use the Netflix app, all of which are using Snapdragon processors. These first five include the Samsung Nexus S and four HTC phones, including the Evo 4G, the original Incredible, the Nexus One, and the T-Mobile G2. The Droid Incredible 2 and Thunderbolt, weren’t mentioned, though they have also have Snapdragon.
