While browsing the Globe’s myGlobe website, I noticed that they have made a partnership with Yahoo! As part of their partnership, Globe included Yahoo’s oneSearch in its wapsite.
Yahoo oneSearch is Yahoo’s search platform for mobile phones. It provides instant search results, similar to the results we get from the Yahoo! Search in the web, in mobile format.
Smart Broadband, Inc. recently launched it’s new product for wireless broadband access. It’s an extension of SmartBro product. But instead of using the Canopy-based system to connect to the internet, the new service will utilize the mobile network’s High Speed Data Packet Access (HSDPA) service.
The new service, dubbed as “Plug It, is a USB-based modem that can easily be plugged to a laptop or a desktop computer. According to the press release given by Smart, the new service will operate at the 384 to 768 kps speeds. According to Abe of Yugatech, Smart is being careful with the speeds they promise to the public since Smart Telecoms., Inc. has not yet covered the whole country with HSPDA infrastructure. Thus, they gave the users the rated speed for 3G systems.
