Bell Mobility in the News—Week ending Feb 26, 2010

1. iHound before you lose your smartphone - Bell Mobility and most other service providers recommend you call them right away if you lose your smartphone so they can block further use. That way, thieves won’t be able to run up charges on your account. You should also consider installing a digital tracker such as iHound on your phone. When activated, this tracker uses the GPS and Wi-Fi built into the device to zero in on its location and sound an alarm.(from Globe and Mail - D. Bascaramurty http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/personal-tech/three-ways-to-track-your-lost-smartphone/article1476324/)
   
2. Two-Way mobile video calling - Bell Mobility, Rogers and TELUS have announced the successful completion of two-way mobile video calling trials between carriers. Currently, video calling is possible but only between customers who use the same carrier network and compatible handsets. When inter-carrier video calling becomes available, customers of different networks will be able to create a “see-what-I-can-see” connection with each other. They will be able to show each other pictures of an item they want to buy or a special family occasion. (CNW Group – Rogers Group – at http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/February2010/24/c4125.html)
   
3. Did you watch the olympics on your phone? - Mobile TV was a hit during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, according to Bell Mobility, with a 198% increase in mobile viewership of live TV during the Games. Bell also reports an increase in video-on-demand and live radio games, largely due to Bell’s Olympic offerings.
