Google has announced a free Java application that can be downloaded to your mobile device as an advanced interface to Gmail. Mobile phone users that have internet enabled phones and access can already get their Gmail through their browser, but this application gives a richer, faster and more intuitive experience, according to Google.

The new mobile interface has pretty much the same look and feel as the normal Gmail browser based application, but does not require the mobile phone browser and in turn gives quicker access to email messages through the new …

Cingular is planning on rolling out a music service on its line of cell phones that support playing music. Cingular is teaming up with the already established music services of Napster, Yahoo Music and eMusic to provide a larger selection than similar services by competing phone companies, at hopefully a cheaper price.

In the last few years mobile phone service providers have been working feverishly to try to offset the lowering price for talking minutes by offering more and more additional services for fees, such as ring tones, wallpaper, …

A Japanese phone company – NTT DoCoMo – has taken mobile phone security to a new level with it’s new P903i Mobile Phone. The P903i has a couple new, unique and very secure features that are pretty interesting.

The first of the features involve carrying around a small black electronic card that communicates wirelessly with the phone. The phone senses it’s proximity to the card and locks itself if it gets too far away. It then cannot be used to make a call or obtain information at that point. The owner of this …

No information has been released as to what type of business model …

The new Sony DSC-T50 cyber-shot digital camera has stuck with the same anorexic trend as many of the new cell phones, which is good for those of you who are into really skinny gadgets like that.

The new 7 mega-pixel camera boasts a nice new feature of a 3″ touch screen. The purpose of the touch screen is to be able to remove a lot of the buttons necessary to run the menu and different fuctions, and be able to replace that room with the larger screen that you can touch to make your menu …

HP first introduced the hw6900 Mobile Messenger Series in February at the 3GSM show in Barcelona, Spain but delays prevented the communicator from shipping this summer. Now comes word from HP that the cellular-wireless handheld may finally ship after all.

The big difference in this series is the four types of wireless networking: cellular, GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. This combination is still not …

I would estimate that I wear headphones on average about 6 hours a day. I wear headphones not only because I love to listen to music but because headphones are my only salvation to drown out noise of my office. I recently switched to the in-ear style of headphone in the hopes of better noise cancellation. The key test to determine if a set of headphones are good is if they can drown out your noisy cubicle neighbors and these headphones passed easily.

The Shure E2c headphones …

I have to say this is an improvement. This is a Skype compatible VoIP Phone from Keyspan. You can call PC to PC or PC to Phone, and do pretty much everything you need to with using Skype from the phone – except leave the room.

Skype was a big deal at the last eBay developers conference, and I asked one of the Skype reps (all of which had some fancy European type accents) about taking the phones away from the PC or Mac. You see, if you have never used …
