Just got my hands on the Huawei E182E HSPA mobile broadband modem from the operator 3 in Sweden (Price 35$ / month). Havent had the chance to test the modem in different places yet so the “speed test” screenshots (that u can find after the break) are tested at my place.
The operator 3 is the first of the operators in Sweden to offer the latest HSPA Evolved technology with 21Mbps. The HSPA Evolved is available in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö – Lund and in Karlskrona.
HSPA Evolved, which is also known as HSPA + is the next generation of HSPA technology. The first version of HSPA Evolved supports data speeds up to 21 Mbps, which means that a user can expect practical speeds of up to 16 Mbps, about 60% faster than other networks for common mobile broadband. Future versions of HSPA Evolved will offer speeds up to 42Mbps, then 56Mbps and finally 168 Mbit / second.
Update: Added another screenshot from speedtest.net

The Arduino based tank is controlled with the TouchOSC app for the iPhone to send OpenSoundControl signals to Processing which translates the signals to serial and sends it out via usb to an xBee module…which in turn get’s picked up by another xBee module on the Arduino Tank. The Arduino tank is using an Ardumoto motor driver shield and has a LiPoly battery charger connected to a solar panel for easy charging. Check out the video demo after the break…
The N900 has only just landed and there’s already a bunch of cool games available that take advantage of the touchscreen and accelerometer. Check them out here.
Nokia Corp., the world’s largest handset maker, Wednesday said Symbian would remain the key software platform for its smartphones, as it forecast a 10% rise in overall industry volumes next year following a period of sharp contraction.
In a sign of the growing importance of platforms to the industry, Nokia said Wednesday it had made significant improvements to the next version of the Symbian user interface, as it also gave its first industry projections for next year.
“In 2010, we will drive user experience improvements, and the progress we make will take the Symbian user interface to a new level,” said Nokia Chief Executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, adding it had “reach and flexibility like no other platform.”
He also said that a higher proportion of its smartphones–the one area of the handset market that has continued to grow during the recession–will have touch screens or full QWERTY keyboards compared with previously.
The Espoo, Finland-based company, hosting its capital markets day, also said it would focus on stabilizing the average selling price of its handsets to increase revenue.
“Going into 2010, the overall mobile devices market is stabilizing and it is growing more in the areas where Nokia has competitive advantages,” Chief Financial Officer Timo Ihamuotila said.
Nokia said it will continue to focus on applications for its phones, targeting net sales from its Services unit of EUR2 billion or more in 2011 from an expected 300 million active users by the end of 2011.
To differentiate its products from rivals, Nokia has increasingly focused on applications such as navigation, its Comes With Music phones, and the Ovi online portal. Ovi means ‘door’ in Finnish.
The Nokia Messaging Social Networking Beta app is an integrated, multi-network social widget that allows Nokia mobile users to view, post, and comment on messages, to share their location and status on the go while keeping up with their social circles right from their Nokia handsets. This client currently supports Facebook and will expand to more social media networks in the near future.
The Social Networking Beta is compatible with the N97 firmware version 12.X.024, and will not function correctly on other devices. Please note that the new client will be released on December 14th.
Key Features:
- Contextual homescreen widget – jump directly into posts to comment
- Post your thoughts and photos from the camera or gallery
- Communication choices – choose how you want to respond to a friends post directly from the post (e.g. post a comment, call, SMS, or send a message)
- Share your current location in a post or in a message using Ovi Maps; view friends’ location
- Support for the N97. More device support coming
