Bridgewater Systems gives you courage to roam

It's easy to keep track of your mobile phone data usage if you don't travel. After all, there are third-party tracking applications that can do that. Some service providers have also implemented price caps on their mobile broadband plans, so there are no surprises at the end of the month when customers receive their bills.

However, all that goes out the window when you travel, where your mobile data price caps don't apply and you are at the mercy of the local telco with regard to roaming charges. There have been horror stories of travelers getting bills in the thousands simply because they forgot to turn off an online background application. Bridgewater Systems, a Canadian service developer, has the solution.

Nokia: New Internet Tablet to come in 2H 2009

"There're certainly some new products coming along from that Internet Tablet range in the product roadmap. There's already one that will be launched in the second half of the year." Those were the words from Nokia's Vice President of Sales in Southeast Asia Pacific, Chris Carr, during a group interview session at the launch of the N97 in Kuala Lumpur this evening. Carr remained coy when we pressed for more details, though the buzz on the Web is on the N900 Rover tablet that's rumored to succeed the N810 Internet Tablet.

Word has it that the N900 will run Maemo 5 and will be fitted with a 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen, OMAP3430 500/600MHz processor, 5-megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash and 32GB of onboard memory. Connectivity options include HSPA, Wi-Fi and built-in GPS. It's also said that the announcement will come as early as July. Granted that we were referencing information from two different sources, one official and one from a tipster courtesy of MobileCrunch, it's safe to assume there will be at least one new tablet from the Finns this year. Nokia is as usual tight-lipped about its product roadmaps, but I guess it wouldn't be too long before we hear more news on this.

According to a report on Open Salon, Apple appears to be preparing direct movie and TV show downloads on the iPhone.

Open Salon claims that an ad appearing in the free version of the app Twitterfon is the first place this new iPhone feature was discovered. However, the ad in question is nowhere to be found at press time and hasn't been confirmed.
According to the report, the ad supposedly led to a place that pointed to some movie and TV show listings. The listings were broken down by genre, and although titles were listed, none would work when accessed.
