ICS update for the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx very close to getting rolled out
If you happen to have Verizon for your wireless provider of choice and a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx for your smartphone, today might just be your lucky day. A leaked upgrade schedule from an internal Verizon system gave us hope that despite the fact that the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx is still in the Evaluation and Planning stage of its ICS development, the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the handset can actually (fingers crossed) be expected to arrive sooner than expected.
Buy the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx starting at $199.
Looking back, a couple of weeks ago, we got an ICS false alarm for that originated from retail giant Best Buy who, through an internal leaked document, intimated that Ice Cream Sandwich is scheduled to hit the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx last April 4. We all know at this point in time that the rumor did not turn into anything other than being a rumor. However, this leaked upgrade schedule from Verizon itself clearly states that the last day of testing for the ICS update for the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx is scheduled on May 17, 2012. And the best part? The expected time frame that Verizon will finally roll the ICS update for the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx out is on May 21, 2012 if all goes according to plan.
However, we still advise you to take everything about this supposed ICS update for the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx with a grain of salt. While the dates on the leaked internal leaked screenshot couldn’t be more specific, there is still that probability that Ice Cream Sandwich will not be pushed to the handset on the said date because there might be problems that may come up during the testing phase and major bugs are identified. However, the leaked internal images are very specific that once the wireless provider commences the rollout of ICS for the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx, it plans to finish the rollout to all of the handsets within 14 days. And with this, we cross our fingers with you that everything goes well so users of the handset can finally get their Motorola Droid Razr Maxx devices a tasty treat of Ice Cream Sandwich. And while waiting for the rollout to happen, let us go through the specs sheet of the handset to get an idea of its components and capabilities.
The claim to fame of the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx is its 3300 mAh power pack that brings an incredible battery life to the handset. IT also packs a serious punch under the hood with its Texas Instruments OMAP4430 chipset that comes along with a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz and a full gigabyte of RAM. Its internal storage comes up to 16GB but the handset has a preinstalled 16GB microSD card for memory expansion purposes while its 4.3-inch display with a 960 x 540 resolution is of the SuperAMOLED Advanced variety. Its shooting department is equally capable with the handset outfitted with an 8MP camera at its back panel and a 1.3MP video chat and self-portrait camera out front. Buy the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx starting at $199.

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Recommendations Threaten
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Recommendations Threaten Mobile Broadband Investment and Deployment in India
LONDON, April 26, 2012 -- /PRNewswire/ -- the GSMA today stated that the TRAI's recommendations on the "Auction of Spectrum" will set India back in its goal to deliver "Broadband on Demand" to the citizens of India. The proposals disregard international best practice in spectrum policy and jeopardize the investment of billions of US dollars in new mobile infrastructure in a sector that either directly, or indirectly, employs almost 10 million people and serves more than 911 million consumers.
The European 3G experience more than a decade ago made clear that auctions designed to maximise revenue, hinders the development of the mobile sector and the socio-economic benefits that mobile delivers to the public. Reducing the ability of mobile operators to invest in network upgrades and expansion would undermine the ability of India to leverage its telecom infrastructure to empower citizens and businesses, especially those in rural communities, to participate equitably in the Internet economy. For example, the TRAI's proposed reserve prices for upcoming spectrum auctions are so prohibitively high that they will inevitably curtail mobile operator investment in Mobile Broadband infrastructure and increase prices to consumers.
Given the strong correlation between mobile penetration and socio-economic development – with a 10 per cent increase in Mobile Broadband penetration delivering as much as US$80 billion (INR 3,506 billion) of extra revenue for India's transport, healthcare and education sectors by 2015[1]– the TRAI's recommendations will not serve the interests of the broader Indian economy.
"Efforts to squeeze money out of mobile operators for some perceived short-term gain will only reduce investment in networks, inhibit growth of mobile services and drive up consumer prices – limiting the value the public will derive from the spectrum resource in the long term," said Franco Bernabe, Chairman of the GSMA and Chairman and CEO of Telecom Italia Group.
TRAI's recommendations would not only drive up the cost of the mobile spectrum, but would also create artificial scarcity of this critical resource. In advance of license renewal, TRAI has proposed to force current 900 MHz licensees out of the band into the 1800 MHz band. As a result, TRAI would limit the available spectrum in the upcoming 1800 MHz 2G auction and leave the remainder under-utilised for a significant period, creating unnecessary scarcity at a time when India has an opportunity to shape the future of the mobile industry. This effectively means that billions of US dollars of investment would be wasted.
Earlier this month, the GSMA announced that India was positioned to surpass the US as the second largest Mobile Broadband market in the world within the next four years. In recognition of the threat to this potential, Anne Bouverot, Director General, GSMA, commented, "The GSMA's member operators in India have invested heavily and worked hard to deliver innovative services to consumers and positively impact the broader Indian economy. They are naturally very concerned about the TRAI recommendations, which have the potential to stifle investment in India's mobile sector. The GSMA and its members are seeking an open dialogue with the Government of India on the licensing of the critical spectrum with the aim of finding a solution that will drive investment and growth in mobile communications and more broadly in the Indian economy."

Blackberry Foursquare app gets NFC support
Here’s something we don’t get to say very often – the Blackberry version of a popular social app is trailblazing the way for new technology. Yes, the Foursquare app on Research in Motion’s dying smartphone platform has just been updated, bringing with it support for a whole portfolio of Near Field Communication (NFC) features. This widely expands NFC Foursquare functionality, which is currently only available to Android Ice Cream Sandwich phones.
The Blackberry app update also provides some requisite enhancements like faster performance and more accurate GPS location identifying. But NFC is really what it’s all about. “You can share places and tips among other BlackBerry and Android devices (or even check in at places with NFC stickers), with a simple tap of your phone,” Foursquare wrote in an official blog post about the new update.
Both the Blackberry Bold 9900 and the Curve 9370 have NFC technology built into their hardware. With the feature, users are able to exchange data – venue profiles, user data, tips, and lists – with a simple tap. That is, of course, provided both users have a compatible NFC device. Nevertheless, it is always nice to see NFC expanded beyond mobile payments, which is what it has become primarily associated with. The update is available now in the Blackberry App World store.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- A funny thing happened to startup SwayMarkets after CNNMoney ran a story about its CarrierCompare app two weeks ago: The app got yanked from Apple's iTunes App Store.
CarrierCompare, which allows you to see which cell phone company offers the best service for your iPhone in any given location, vaulted into the venerable "Top 25" list on April 13, the day the story was published. CarrierCompare became the most-downloaded app in the utility category that day, beating out perennial top utilities like the top flashlight app and "Find My iPhone."
Then, the story took an unexpected turn, revealing the murky and seemingly haphazard system Apple has put in place to control its App Store.
Apple notified the SwayMarkets team on the afternoon of April 13 that it had pulled CarrierCompare as well as the company's NetSnaps app, which was released in December.
A representative from Apple's app review board called the startup, explaining that the apps broke one of Apple's golden rules: They used an application programming interface -- essentially a way for the app software to talk to the iPhone's operating system -- that Apple hadn't approved.
The API allowed CarrierCompare and its sister app to collect signal strength data from iPhones. Gathering that information isn't a cut-and-dry no-no per se, but since the code hadn't received Apple's thumbs up, it was a no-go.
The removal of the apps surprised SwayMarkets, which had been led to believe that the API was okay to use.
The SwayMarkets team found the code on a developer forum, and SwayMarkets used it successfully in its NetSnaps app for five months before Apple took issue with it.
The company was even more convinced that the API was kosher due to a separate snafu in December. At first, Apple did not approve the NetSnaps app because SwayMarkets made use of a different unapproved API. When SwayMarkets removed that API, which displayed results using the phone's screenshot function, Apple approved the app without saying anything about the signal strength API.
Then, two weeks ago, CarrierCompare got Apple's seal of approval.
So what changed in the hours after CarrierCompare hit the app store? No one can be entirely sure, because Apple doesn't provide a lot of details about its approval process, even to developers. Apple declined to comment on its review system or CarrierCompare for this story.
But an interview, SwayMarkets founder Amos Epstein said many developers have reported similar circumstances: An app is approved, goes viral, hits the Top 25, and then gets removed for some previously unforeseen coding goof that Apple later discovered.
That has led the general developer community and Epstein to believe that overworked Apple reviewers, with thousands of apps waiting in the approval queue, likely don't test apps too thoroughly at first. But once they gain popularity, the Apple team gives them a closer look.
"When we hit the Top 25, we expected to receive a little bit more scrutiny from Apple, but we didn't know it would hit us like this," said Epstein.
The one saving grace was that Apple never removed the free version of CarrierCompare, even though the company said it would. The paid version was taken down, as was NetSnaps, but Epstein believes the decision to keep the free version up represented an act of good will on the part of Apple.
Still, eager to get the paid version back into the store, SwayMarkets engaged in some speedy coding to get the app up to Apple's standards. Two hours after Apple called, the SwayMarkets team was able to replace the signal strength indicator with a grayed-out shadow that said "coming soon."
They then waited two days for Apple to respond. Apple rejected that solution because it doesn't allow "coming soon" language for functions that may never become available. SwayMarkets then removed the signal strength indicator altogether, and Apple finally approved that solution this week.
The CarrierCompare story provides a rare glimpse behind the curtain of Apple's closed-door approval process. Most developers are unwilling to share this kind of information for fear of reproach from Apple. For his part, Epstein said the process left him a bit dismayed, but he understands where Apple is coming from.
"We've been very cooperative and thankful that Apple kept the free version of the app in the store," said Epstein. "It's been difficult as a developer to not feel supported in trying to help both Apple and consumers. However, I recognize Apple is running a very successful business. It's a momentary hurdle."
SwayMarkets argues that signal strength was the least-important metric its app collected, but it still is working on a solution. The team reached out to Apple in the hopes that it would approve the signal strength API for future use, but they haven't heard back yet.
Meanwhile, the startup continues to develop a workaround with an unusual method: building an Android app. Google's Android marketplace,
now known as Google Play, not only allows signal strength data to be collected, but it also allows more robust data to be gathered, such as whether a 4G connection is available.
Since Apple only took issue with collecting signal strength data -- but not displaying that information -- SwayMarkets intends to use the Android data to inform iPhone users of the signal strength data that Apple won't let it collect.
It will be interesting to see whether or not Apple nixes that idea as well. If the CarrierCompare story makes one thing clear, it's that in its relationship with developers, Apple holds all the cards.
