You have an iPhone, you use wwwtmsrepublic.com portal...right! Now you need a WIFI Spot!

Get the WIFI Detector t-Shirt


The smart geeks at ThinkGeek are now selling a Wi-Fi Detector t-shirt that dynamically displays the current surrounding Wi-Fi signal strength with a glowing animation. You’ll need three AAA batteries to make the magic happen. The decal is removable so you can wash your shirt and not be a stinky geek. (via LaughingSquid)

How Does a Barcode Reader Work ;-?

A really cool video about barcodes ....

why Apple seems to be so cataclysmically afraid of releasing an unlocked iPhone?

If the device isn’t going to be subsidized through carriers anyway why not sell it direct? If Apple doesn’t like dealing with the orifices that are telcos why not strike a deal with Carphone Warehouse, for example? The only answer is that it really wants that extra and on-going revenue from the telco service that it is getting through AT&T, and thinks that is worth selling fewer devices… Meanwhile, Fortune argues that the launch of the iPod touch could sap sales of the iPhone, although that would account for people seeking a cool gadget rather than people seeking a converged device. The article goes on to argue that it’s the WiFi capabilities in the iPod touch (and some other handsets) which pose the big problem to telcos...the old argument that WiFi plus VoIP equals death of mobile networks. Of course, WiFi would have to become a lot more ubiquitous and a lot more easy to use before that scenario plays out.

Evolution of the web to mobile is inevitable

“Each generation generally has a desire to overturn - or even revolt - against their established precedents... Today’s web is undoubtedly due for such a shake up…. What is dawning on me is this: that the coming revolution isn’t something that will be driven through the adoption or innovation of today’s establishment. Those lonely PC screens are Generation X’s comfort zone. We find ourselves struggling with small screens and small keys to even glimpse the potential of the next decade’s on-line experience. So I’m looking to Generation Y. They’re the mobile generation. They’re the ones looking for a new angle. They’re looking for a paradigm that they can adopt, pioneer, and make their own. And they’re going to be the guardians of the web in the coming decades - the web that will finally call itself truly mobile… Most importantly, they will do wonderful things with the mobile web. Darwinian things that the now-conservative institution of today’s web would probably never grasp, risk, or predict.”

great post !

Show Time!

Bonjour
We are launching our “Big Baby” next weeks “TMS Mobile PayWorld” and in the same time we decided to launch our blog to have an interaction with the mobile users. This blog has the ambition to let the TMS community members be informed of all the news of our services and content partners that can be found in TMS Republic, but also about the evolution of the Mobile Planet in terms of new services and technologies.

We really believe that the Third Screen is in revolution (via the offer of high speed Internet access), and the Telco’s are in the same position as the Internet Web access providers 10 years ago in the sense that by offering internet access they opened the door of mobile subscriber access to new players and lost the exclusive control of the user base (some handset manufacturers as NOKIA understood this and anticipate the future by going into mobile entertainment business). The entrance of new players in the business will offer many new applications for the benefit of the consumers.

The TMS suite of Internet Mobile Services has the ambition to participate in this revolution and we think that The TMS Mobile payment solution “TMS Mobile Payworld”, the first Telco’s independent solution which includes a real time mobile billing platform and 2D barcodes technology, is one of the answers to the “Mobile Generation” expectations in terms of “user friendly and worldwide mobile payment solution”. We hope that TMS Mobile PayWorld become an everyday convenient payment method adopted.
And in your side don't stay "watching the paint dry", participate to the revolution via your comments and your suggestions.
