"Just past the security gate for the world's largest cell phone trade show in Barcelona, executives of big mobile carriers can't avoid walking past a booth they would probably rather not see: It's for "Pinger," a small California company that offers free texting in the United States and Germany and has global expansion plans.
Pinger and an explosion of smartphone messaging services -- like iMessage, BlackBerry Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber Media, Facebook Messenger and KakaoTalk -- have managed in just a few years to slash away at the important revenue that cell phone companies get from text messaging. Analysts say there's no end in sight to the financial blood letting."T
The buzz around the iPad mini 7 has been growing in recent weeks, with rumours suggesting an imminent release.
Apple has unveiled its new M3 processors and all three chips include a significant improvement to the GPU side. Unquestionably, the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max will offer a faster CPU performance, however, GPU-focused advancements improve graphics capabilities to enhance professional and gaming experience.
According to a recent report, the iPhone 16 series might come with an additional hardware button.
Its companies like this I despise they loose 10% revenue from free texting and they bitch and moan. like they charge us for a data network and thats how the service is being used so if they are crying that services like this piggy back off their data networks just what are we paying for? if we cant use a data network why even have it... they should have fear change is coming. phone companies are trying to kill off the sayins b4 they get stronger... its too late.
