Great information for anyone considering the MiFis available from Sprint and Verizon. Cool commercials can't cover up the 5Gb limit on data. Also, limiting you to 5 users? Thats just silly.
With mobility comes batteries, and batteries must be charged. This is probably the lease thought of part of your cell phone, except when the battery is empty and you need to make a call. And, we all know that the day will come when the battery won't hold a charge for a whole day, then it's half a day, then half and hour! But there are strategies that can extend the life of your battery!
This article: "Mazimizing Your Cell Phone Battery Life" gives several good strategies for maintaining your battery for the long haul. Then again, maybe we don't want to take away an excuse to get a new cell phone!

I ran across this article from a few months ago talking about an agreement for a standard cell phone charger for all phones. In my mind, this is something that makes sense. Surely phones can be engineered to a common standard.
Having just returned from a vacation where I couldn't charge my cell phone because I neglected to bring the car charger, and I couldn't plug in to my laptop, too! My friend had a Blackberry and offered his charger; of course, this wasn't compatible. Another friend hand an iPhone, strike two! Finally I looked to my last friend. He has an old Motorola flip phone; doesn't work with my Samsung, strike three, I'm out of luck.
There are many potential benefits to industry coming together with this standard. Reduced clutter and waste are the first to come to mind. The ability to reuse your charger. Lower cost of the charger. Probably a lot more that I'm not thinking of right now. Let's hope that we in America are able to benefit from this soon!
