  The Global Positioning System (GPS) essential to U.S. national security has become a popular tool for public services worldwide providing navigation, position and timing data. Alarming news is that the Air Force responsible for GPS is uncertain about acquiring new satellites to avoid interruptions of GPS services. The Global Positioning System will partly lose its capability in 2010 if the Air Force does not manage to develop GPS IIIA satellites in time as far as old satellites begin to fail. However, there are certain measures that can be taken to minimize the impact on GPS users. In recent years, the Air Force faced technical problems still threatening the system accuracy. Besides, stability of GPS has been hampered because of the frequent turnover in program managers and the lack of a single authority for space programs.

  Global Mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) reports that 26 mobile network operators are eager to develop 4G mobile networks based on LTE technology. The severe competition can be explained by the fact that the world's first LTE operator will be able to expand its range of services drastically and attract a huge number of subscribers. LTE is a technology of building mobile networks, a derivative from 2, 2.5 and 3G, based on IP technologies. Ten mobile network operators have the year 2010 marked as 4G network launch time. In the USA they are Verizon, MetroPCS, and CenturyTel; in Sweden and Norway – TeliaSonera. In Japan LTE 4G network is to be launched by NTT DoCoMo and KDDI; in Canada – by Rogers Wireless, Telus, and Bell Canada. Sixteen more operators are planning to launch LTE 4G after 2010. One of the factors that make it impossible to launch LTE 4G immediately is the lack of mobile devices supporting this standard. GSA says that two manufacturers, Ericsson and LG, plan to release respective mobile devices next year. What will we get from 4G? First of all, we’ll enjoy exceptionally high data transfer rates supported by high end mobile

  If accessing the web on your mobile phone is difficult with a small screen and smaller keypad, why not just talk to your phone to navigate the web? This was the thought of Dortmund, Germany, based Materna Communications who demonstrated their new VoiceFlash product in Barcelona. As Materna says, VoiceFlash user can control navigation menus “with their own voice input” – or by talking into their phone. This also means that online forms can be filled in, and even a genuine dialogue be held with the web interface, and information can be requested from websites. An example application would be requesting timetable information, by speaking the starting point of your journey and your destination, as well as the date and approximate time of departure or arrival. Similarly, it would be relatively easy to construct and then navigate by voice to quickly obtain phone numbers or local addresses from business directories. And of course, the voice doesn’t have to be via a phone call, but can be using a microphone or headset connected to a PC, and thereby help those less able to use a keyboard, or us geeks who like to show that we aren’t restricted to a keyboard, but can navigate the web by voice. Materna are working on making their

  What a competition: there were four regional tournaments around the world, and the search took one year, but now the Champion of the 2009 Mobile Innovation Global Awards is known. The winner is CooTek for their TouchPal soft keyboard for touchscreen devices. It wasn’t just the spelling correction software which impressed judges, but also that experienced users can type at a staggering 400 characters per minute on a touchscreen. So it’s no wonder that TouchPal has become the most popular keyboard software in the world, with more than 2 million downloads last year. Touchscreen phones are getting popular these years. But typing on touchscreen is no fun. Many iPhone users, for example, have complaints about its onscreen keyboard. Due to the small buttons and the lack of key-pressing feedback, users are more likely to press wrong keys on a virtual keyboard than on a real keyboard. TouchPal was carefully designed to resolve these issues by introducing many breakthrough technologies. One example is the impressive mistyping correction technology -- even if a user mistypes all the letters in a word, it can still predict the correct word. One can thus type much faster without even looking at the keyboard. Another eye-catching feature is called
