Now, charge your cellphones with puddle of water

• Any convenient water can be harvested for power, from a kitchen faucet through to a puddle in the jungle.
• Researchers in Sweden have developed a new technique where you can charge your devices anywhere without electricity, provided there is a water source nearby.The new device leverages the team's more than 15 years of research on micro fuel cell technology and small flat Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cells at the Department of Applied Electrochemistry at KTH.
• To use the PowerTrekk charger, you fill-up water compartment with about one tablespoon, close the lid and connect it to the electronic device with a USB cable.
• It starts charging automatically as the water inside interacts with a small disposable metal disc causing hydrogen gas to be released.
• When the gas combines with oxygen it converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
• While in many ways fuel cells are similar to batteries, they are different in that electrodes do not become consumed making them finite.
• Instead provided water and air is provided to the electrodes, these fuel cells will run.Very green power, water vapour is the only by-product.Currently, Powertrekk works with devices like cell and smartphones, digital cameras, ipods and GPS.
• The company is looking into developing their fuel cells to function for larger devices like laptops

BlackBerry announces cheaper data plan for Rs 129

BlackBerry today launched a new data plan for subscribers in India that will offer 1GB of 2G data for Rs 129. Earlier, BlackBerry users had to shell out Rs 299 for just BBM and email access and a minimum of Rs 599 for Internet browsing as well.The new plan is available in 15 circles with Aircel, Idea Cellular and Vodafone. The list of circles include West Bengal (excluding Kolkata), Assam, Bihar, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh), North East, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu (excluding Chennai), Uttar Pradesh West and Uttar Pradesh East.

Vodafone recently announced an Internet trial plan that offered 500MB of data for Rs 49 for 3G and Rs 25 for 2G access. However, that plan was valid for one-time use only.

Mobile devices that can change shape to be unveiled today

The devices could lay down the foundation for creating high shape resolution devices of the future.

Researchers including one of an Indian origin have developed prototype mobile devices that can change shape on-demand, and will be unveiled on Monday, the 29th of April.

The devices could lay down the foundation for creating high shape resolution devices of the future.

The research paper, to be presented at one of the world's most important conferences on human-computer interfaces, will introduce the term 'shape resolution' and its ten features, to describe the resolution of an interactive device: in addition to display and touch resolution.

One example of a device is the team's concept of Morphees, self-actuated flexible mobile devices that can change shape on-demand to better fit the many services they are likely to support.

The team believe Morphees will be the next generation of mobile devices, where users can download applications that embed a dedicated form factor, for instance the "stress ball app" that collapses the device in on itself or the "game app" that makes it adopt a console-like shape.In the future the team hope to build higher shape resolution Morphees by investigating the flexibility of materials.

They are also interested in exploring other kinds of deformations that the prototypes did not explore, such as porosity and stretchability.

Samsung has 7-Inch Galaxy Tab 3 with Android Jelly Bean

Samsung has unveiled its brand new Galaxy Tab 3, a 7-inch tablet running Android 4.1 or Jelly Bean.The Galaxy Tab 3 has gone official and it's the company's first Android tablet with a dual core 1.2GHz processor, 8GB or 16GB of storage (with expansion up to 64GB), a 3-megapixel camera, 1.3-megapixel front camera and a substantial 4,000mAh battery.The tablet will be available in two variants, Wi-Fi only and a 3G variant with voice calling.The Wi-Fi version of the 7-inch Galaxy Tab 3 will be available globally in May, and the 3G version will come in June.The 7-inch screen has a 1024x600 pixel screen and the device is capable of Full HD video playback.The tabletis a 111.1 x 188.0 x 9.9mm package that weighs 302g if you choose the Wi-Fi version, or 306g for the 3G variant.

• Exact pricing and availability will vary by market and will be rolled out "gradually," Samsung claims.
• The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is also noticeably more compact and lighter than the Tab 2 7.0 (193.7 x 122.4 x 10.5 mm, 345g) and Tab 7.0 Plus (193.7 x 122.4 x 9.9 mm, 345g).

Apple’s next-generation iPhone and the so-called iPad ‘Air’

An event where the iPad Air (cool, but just a smaller thinner cheaper iPad), new iPod Touch (cool, but just an iPhone without the phone), and maybe even new or at least updated iPod music players (eh) share the stage, tied together with the theme of consuming iTunes media content 

Apple’s next-generation iPhone and the so-called iPad ‘Air’ may not be unveiled on the same day as some folks would have us believe, a new theory suggests.

John Gruber of Daring Fireball thinks it doesn’t make a lot of sense for Apple to unveil both iProducts together, as they would have to compete against each other for the limelight.

Previously, Rene Ritchie of iMore claimed Apple would lift the lid on the devices on September 12th. While Gruber doesn’t contest the date, he reckons Apple would benefit more by announcing them at least several weeks apart.

Gruber wrote on his site: “I don’t think Apple would want reviews of both a new iPhone and new-size iPad appearing at the same time. Why share the spotlight? Why have another Apple product battling with the iPhone for the top spots in news coverage?”

His reasoning is that the iPhone is now simply too big a product to share the stage with another and that the iGiant would be better off unveiling the iPhone 5 alongside iOS 6 first, followed by a shared event in October for the new iPod touch and the iPad mini/Air, whatever it’s ends up being called.

The 100 Best iPhone Apps

The 100 apps highlighted here made the cut because they've shown outstanding performance and have been well liked by a variety of users. We aim to represent a thorough array of app genres, while also remembering "different strokes for different folks." If you use your iPhone$435.49 at AT&T more for entertainment and social networking, for example, and less for productivity, we've arranged this article in a way that will help you find the apps that will be more interesting to you, without neglecting those who do use their phones for business and getting things done.

The 100 Best iPhone Apps
 Before you check out the 100 best iPhone apps, let me address a few frequently asked questions:
100 slides? Are you kidding?
You do not have to click 100 slides to see the apps in this article. The slideshow is only one way. Another way is by using the table of contents that appears at the top right side of this block of text. You'll notice gray links that indicate different groups of apps, such as Browsers and Reference (1-9) and Utilities (20-27), and so forth.
Wait. Haven't I seen this list on PCMag before?
In all likelihood, yes, because we update the list frequently to reflect new apps that come out. We try to keep it fresh.
You left out some of the most important apps, like Safari, iTunes, and Siri! What's up with that?
Those apps (well, technically, Siri is a feature and not an app) come bundled with the iPhone, and since you don't have a choice about owning them, we exclude them from the possible list of the 100 best iPhone apps.
I'm new to iPhone and 100 apps is overwhelming! Can you simplify this list?
Yes! We already have! A better article for you is "10 Must-Have iPhone Apps."
Some of these apps cost money, and I refuse to pay for apps. What else ya got?

Analysts Predict iPhone Will Overtake Android Market Share by 2015

• It might sound a little unintuitive, but according to a poll of 16,000 consumers conducted by the Yankee Group last month, iPhone ownership in the United States will surpass that of Android devices by 2015 through consumer loyalty alone.
• Based on the Yankee Group's findings, 91 percent of iPhone owners seek another iPhone when it's time for an upgrade, while only 76 percent of Android device owners seek another Android device. And what of that 24 percent of Android device owners seeking an a new phone? Almost three quarters of them plan to purchase an iPhone.
• That seems odd in light of the recent news of Android's widespread adoption in overseas markets, but Yankee Group analyst Carl Howe argues Apple's interconnected ecosystem of iTunes, the App Store, iCloud and related features ensures a remarkable degree of consumer loyalty in the U.S.
• "Apple’s 'black hole' ecosystem captures subscribers who never leave, while Android smartphones are losing one out of every six customers to other manufacturers. These trends will drive Apple ownership well past Android ownership by 2015 and will reinforce Apple’s dominance in tablets as well," Howe said.
• VentureBeat reports that there may be truth to the findings. In January, Kantar Worldpanel revealed that Apple temporarily captured the majority of American smartphone sales in late 2012. Also, they reported that ComScore discovered that the iPhone's market share grew by 11 percent recently while Android's fell by 4 percent.As AllThingsD reports, Howe believes that Android's acceptance has peaked. He put it this way:
• "Think of the Apple and Android ecosystems as two buckets of water. New smartphone buyers — mostly upgrading feature phone owners — fall like rain into the two big buckets about equally, with a smaller number falling into Windows Phone and BlackBerry buckets. However, the Android bucket leaks badly, losing about one in five of all the owners put into it. The Apple bucket leaks only about 7 percent of its contents, so it retains more of the customers that fall into it.

How good is the camera on the Samsung Galaxy S4?

When Samsung first introduced the Galaxy S4—at an event I'm sure many of us would just as soon like to forget—the company put a lot of emphasis on the camera features as opposed to image quality. Sure, you can record sound while snapping photos with the phone's 13-megapixel shooter, but how do those pictures actually look?

To answer this question, we turned to TechHive's lab for help. With the assistance of our lab technicians, we pitted the Galaxy S4 camera against the competition—theApple iPhone 5, the Nokia Lumia 920, the HTC One, and the Samsung Galaxy S3—to see how the phone held up. The results were interesting, to say the least, and indicate that there may be more to the Galaxy S4's camera apart from its laundry list of shooting modes.

Note: These comparison images are 400-by-300-pixel crops of the full-size photos at 100 percent zoom. 

How to Buy a Cell Phone

There's no sense in denying it: For most of us, mobile phones are at the center of our universe. The typical feature set of these things is astounding. It's your phone, your messaging device, your on-the-go Web browser, your camera, your music player, your GPS navigation unit—and with NFC technology, which is just beginning to take hold, it can even be your wallet.

If you thought choosing a cell phone was difficult before, it's even tougher today. That's a good thing, though, because it demonstrates how innovation in the wireless industry has skyrocketed. We're seeing rapid progress across all fronts, including displays, data networks, user interfaces, voice quality, third-party apps, and even mobile gaming.

To cite just a few examples: All four major U.S. carriers now offer some variation of 4G networks, which (depending on the carrier and technology used) is anywhere from two to 10 times faster than 3G. Sprint even has two varieties of 4G, as it's transitioning from WiMAX over to the much faster LTE standard.

The latest crop of Android smartphones is more diverse and powerful than ever. Android is also far and away the sales leader in the U.S. when it comes to smartphones, a result few could have predicted just two years ago. Samsung's powerful Galaxy S III is available on six major carriers and counting, while Apple's iPhone 4S—itself a technological marvel—is available on five major carriers, with a new model on the way possibly as early as September.

Pit against this backdrop, it's no wonder standard "feature" phones (handsets without app-based ecosystems) are beginning to fade in importance, and that sales are trending downward.

Taken together, these massive changes make much of the old advice about choosing a phone obsolete. So let's throw it all away and start over. The topic has become so important, and involves so many decisions, that we scrapped our existing cell phone and smartphone buying guides in favor of a single comprehensive story—the one you're reading right now.

So what should you be looking for when buying a cell phone? Here are some key points to consider:

First, Choose a Carrier

Despite all the recent hardware and mobile software innovation, your wireless service provider remains your most important decision. No matter which device you buy, it's a doorstop unless you have solid wireless coverage. Maybe you have friends and family on the same carrier that you talk to for free, and you don't want that to change with your next phone. Maybe you're lusting after a certain device—say, a 4G LTE-capable Android phone, or an unlocked smartphone for international travel. And of course, you want to choose a carrier that offers fair prices, and provides the best coverage in your area. These are all good reasons to put the carrier decision first.

We have two major features to help you choose a carrier. For our 2012 Readers' Choice Awards, PCMag readers told us which carrier they prefer based on coverage, call quality, device selection, and other factors. And for our Fastest Mobile Networks feature, we sent drivers to many U.S. cities to scope out which smartphone carriers have the best data coverage. Because each of the national carriers sells a wide variety of phones, choosing your service provider should be your first move. Here's a quick rundown of what each one offers:

Sprint is relatively inexpensive, and offers some neat media services and a solid high-speed network. It also has the most open approach to third-party apps, letting its subscribers add a wide range of Java applications to its feature phones. Sprint has two prepaid brands, Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile, that sell phones without contracts.

T-Mobile offers mostly cutting-edge phones at relatively low monthly rates and enjoys a reputation for good customer service. It's the only carrier that offers a monthly discount in exchange for paying full price for your phone up front. But its network can be weaker than the other major carriers' in suburban and rural areas. T-Mobile compensates for its lack of 4G LTE by offering HSPA+ 42, which is still blazing fast and easier on battery life, though only a select few phones support it.

Verizon Wireless is famed for its top-notch network quality and good customer service. Its prices can be higher than the competition, but when it comes to voice quality, Verizon phones often excel. That makes Verizon a perpetual leader in our Readers' Choice Awards. Verizon also currently has the largest 4G LTE network in the U.S.

There are also smaller, regional carriers. U.S. Cellular is only available in about half the country, yet it consistently gets great scores on our Readers' Choice Awards because of its strong commitment to customer service. Two years ago, the carrier launched the "Belief Project," a new customer-service plan offering perks like free battery swaps and replacements for damaged phones. Meanwhile, Cricket and MetroPCS are "unlimited" carriers that offer much lower rates than their competitors and don't require contracts. But they aren't available everywhere, and have a somewhat limited, mostly lower-end selection of phones.

Finally, you may also see unlocked phones on the market that work with GSM networks such as AT&T and T-Mobile, but that carriers don't sell directly. These handsets are often imports. Because they're generally more expensive than carrier-approved-and-subsidized phones, few are sold in the U.S. But you can find a few bargains, such as the affordableSnapfon ez ONE-c, in case your AT&T or T-Mobile phone breaks and you need a replacement.Do I Need a Smartphone?

Right now, Google's Android and Apple's iOS are the two top smartphone platforms, both in U.S. sales and in availability of third-party apps. The iPhone has the best app store, the smoothest user interface (which some people don't like, but many do), and the best media features. But there's still no T-Mobile version, and Apple's tightly controlled ecosystem can feel stifling to some. Android sales have now surpassed the iPhone by a significant margin; you can buy Android phones on seven U.S. carriers, and there are plenty of Android handset choices. At the time of this writing, AT&T is offering more than 20 Android phones. Many come with rich features like high-speed 4G Internet connectivity, fast dual-core processors, 4-inch (or larger) hi-res screens, and free GPS navigation. Also, Android's open-source nature makes it a tweaker's dream. But it also means fragmented third-party app compatibility, occasional bugs, carrier-installed bloatware you can't remove, and scattered, often sporadic OS updates.

Don't get us wrong: There are other solid smartphone platforms. But there are issues with each. BlackBerry market share is in freefall; RIM's star is fading fast as attention shifts away from email and enterprise-managed devices. Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.5 is already on its way out, as Microsoft is abandoning the platform ahead of an entirely rewritten Windows Phone 8 OS coming later this year, although it's well-positioned to take a distant third in the U.S. after Android or iOS if RIM's woes continue. Nokia still does well outside of the U.S., but sales are nearly non-existent here, and now the company is in the middle of a complex transition to Windows Phone. HP canned webOS last year, so that one's out of the picture.

 Apple's App Store leads with more than 600,000 apps that are put through a rigorous quality check process. The iPhone also plays the best games. Google Play (formerly Android Market) is catching up quickly, though. Many independent developers like the freedom Google Play offers, as Apple can put the kibosh on whatever app category it feels like (such as vintage game console emulators), but not all apps run on all Android phones; there are so many phone models that maintaining quality control is tough. Other smartphone OSes can run apps, but there are much fewer available, and usually don't match their iPhone or Android counterparts in sheer power.

Regardless of your thoughts on platforms, form factor is also important. Touch screens allow for slimmer devices, smoother user interfaces, easy Web browsing, and a quality video-playback experience. And thanks to a lack of hardware buttons, third-party app developers can design their dream control schemes without worrying about differences in button layouts. But for some, typing on a touch screen can be a drag. Hardware QWERTY keyboards are easier to type quickly on, and are still ideal for many messaging fiends. But hardware keyboards either add bulk, in the case of horizontal and vertical sliders, or they reduce screen real estate, in the case of BlackBerry-like slabs.

Texting and Voice Phones

In the age of mobile apps, smartphones get all the buzz these days, but roughly half of the cell phones sold in the U.S. are feature phones including camera phones, music phones, waterproof phones, texting phones, or just plain voice phones. There are still reasons to get a simpler, less-expensive device. And it's not just about being a Luddite. Maybe you want to save on the device itself and reduce monthly fees by avoiding a smartphone's $20-$30 data package, or you just don't want to be tethered to the Internet all the time.

Unlike smartphones, feature phones are a matter of "what you see is what you get." They don't receive magical software upgrades or run thousands of additional apps. (Some feature phones come with "app stores," but don't be fooled: These exist primarily to sell you additional-cost services, as well as ringtones, wallpaper, and basic games.)

Because even feature phones do almost everything, you should decide what capabilities you need or want most. Start narrowing down your choices by first ranking the five major categories of features in order of importance: voice quality and related capabilities; messaging; camera and camcorder; media playback; and Web, GPS, and other features. Once that's done, you'll be able to concentrate on a more narrow selection of feature phones. If you're big on text messaging, you want a phone with a  hardware QWERTY keyboard, plus an unlimited texting plan. If you've got a small child, a camera is probably important. If you want to ditch your old iPod, keep an eye out for good media features.

For voice quality, read individual phone reviews. Wireless network coverage is always the biggest factor, but individual phones can vary in reception, earpiece quality, transmission quality through the microphone, and side-tone (the echo of your own voice that helps prevent you from yelling at the other person). A phone with middling to poor reception quality can be almost impossible to use in a marginal coverage area, while one with excellent reception can make the best of the little signal that's available. Another point to consider: Some phones have much louder speakerphones than others. A few have buggy Bluetooth stacks that make pairing with headsets and in-car hands-free stereos a pain.

. Flip phones have the added benefit of not needing a keyboard lock; close the phone, and you won't mistakenly dial someone while it's in your pocket. For the accident-prone, some phones, like the Kyocera Hydro on Boost Mobile, are even waterproof or ruggedized.Cameras and Music Players

For a few years, feature phones with good cameras and music players flourished. But especially now that the iPhone and Android devices are popular, phone manufacturers across the board decided anyone who wants to take decent pictures or replace their iPod probably wants a smartphone.

 It's tougher to find a good video phone; we'd recommend a newer smartphone for this purpose. If you want to post your videos online or burn them to DVD, look for a handset that captures at least 640-by-480-pixel videos, at 30 frames per second or better. Most of today's higher-end smartphones offer 720p (1,280-by-720-pixel) or 1080p (1,920-by-1,080-pixel) high-definition recording; many even offer image stabilization, which reduces jerkiness from unsteady hands.

For music, you want a phone with a 3.5-mm headphone jack, so you can listen to your songs with standard headphones. If you get a phone with a 2.5-mm jack, or even worse a proprietary one, you'll need a clumsy adapter to use quality headphones. As an alternative, look for a phone that supports stereo Bluetooth wireless headphones. Smartphones offer the most comprehensive music players. Apple iPhones work with iTunes, while the freeware doubleTwist does a great job of syncing both PCs and Macs with Android and some LG feature phones. Many people are moving to streaming services now anyway, like Spotify and Google Music, so it's less important than it used to be. Windows Phone 7.5 devices work with Zune software on both Macs and PCs, while BlackBerry Desktop Software syncs BlackBerrys to iTunes on either platform as well.

All About Pricing

Cell phones are more expensive than they appear. American wireless carriers subsidize the price of handets, in exchange for signing customers to binding two-year contracts. That's why you can get a phone like the powerful HTC One X for just $99.99 on AT&T, even though the phone's actual retail price is $449.99.

 Look at it in that light, and maybe it makes sense to splurge up front to get the awesome Samsung Galaxy Nexus or Apple iPhone 4S you really want, while maybe paring back your minutes or an extra feature or two to hold monthly costs in check. Unlocked phones lack subsidies and cost the most up front, sometimes well in excess of $500. But they let you swap in any AT&T or T-Mobile SIM card, as well as use any prepaid international cards that help you save big when traveling. Unlocked phones don't work on other American carriers, though.

There are also your monthly carrier fees. And this is where things gets tricky, as the carriers make it exceedingly difficult to figure out how much you'll actually pay per month. Verizon and AT&T plans tend to cost the most, but those two carriers have the best voice and data coverage in the nation. Sprint and T-Mobile offer considerable savings, especially on unlimited voice, data, and texting plans, but don't have quite the same level of network coverage. Even phones with contracts on the smaller carriers like MetroPCS can run as little as $40 or $50 per month, and that's with unlimited voice, data, and text messages, and no extra taxes or fees.

For more, check out our list of The 10 Best Cheap Prepaid Phone Plans You've Never Heard Of.

To get the best price, it pays to check a carrier's Web site before hitting a retail store outlet; often you can do better online, especially with instant rebates, and buying online is also more convenient. Amazon.com, Wirefly, and LetsTalk.com are all good online portals to compare pricing, though many of these will have mail-in rebates instead of instant rebates. Finally, you can grab a used phone off of eBay from the same carrier, and then activate it on your current plan.

Create Your Own Smartphone App With Infinite Monkeys – No Coding Knowledge Required

It would be great if we all had the time, skills, and patience to learn computer coding, especially since technology pervades so many areas of our life. But thankfully, there are applications and web developers out there who provide ways for the rest of us to produce apps with little or no coding skills.Back in June, I reviewed one such web application called Buzztouch, which is designed to allow anyone to create their own smartphone application. Now a similar program has just been released called Infinite Monkeys, a web-based tool geared toward niche communities who want to share content on the iPhone and Android platforms. Infinite Monkeys is not as polished theme wise as Buzztouch, but unlike the latter, Infinite Monkeys, says the developers, “Is completely web-based, and works on any computer or tablet device. You never touch the source code and don’t have to know what it is or how it works.” There are several other differences that also might make Infinite Monkey more accessible to non-programmers than Buzztouch. But you’re free to explore both and see which fits your needs.

Web-based GUI
Infinite Monkeys’ web-based graphic user interface allows users to incorporate existing web content from social networking sites like Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, and blogging sitesThese web-based apps of course don’t compare to more advanced apps like Angry Birds, but they are great for small niche communities and businesses, such as school associations, sports teams, churches, musicians and restaurants, who want to share content privately or publicly.
Infinite Monkeys provides three different app platform models, ranging from free to the pro level version of $499. But for many users, the free HTML 5 web-based, and ad-supported model should suffice.

Core Content
The core content of your app consists of primarily news and third-party feeds such as your blog site(s) and specific URLs.Infinite Monkeys includes additional content models for music and books, food and beverages, events, sports, reference materials, and location services such as a map and directions.
With the click of a button you can easily preview your app at any point in the development process. The online app also includes an embedded short video tutorial for each of the three part steps and multifunction tools.
You have poor control over the content of your app, including links to streaming videos, live chatrooms, shared calendars for upcoming events, shopping links to recommended products, and tap–t0–call phone contact information.
Publishing App
The free version of Infinite Monkeys allows you to instantly post your HTML 5 version immediately to the web so that anyone with a web-enabled smartphone can access it through the assigned URL.Since your app is ad-supported, Infinite Monkeys will host it for free on their server. While it is not nearly as polished as professional apps that you will find in say the iTunes App Store, it does provide a way for anyone to get their content into this space.

Existing Samsung Galaxy S III phones won't work with T-Mobile's LTE network

Existing owners of Samsung’s Galaxy S III will not be able to use the phone on T-Mobile’s LTE network, which debuted Tuesday and will reach 200 million people by the end of this year.

The Galaxy S III does not have a compatible LTE radio, said Randy Meyerson, senior director of product marketing at T-Mobile, during an event in New York City, where the company announced the official rollout of its LTE network and new mobile plans.

At the event, T-Mobile announced an iPhone 5 from Apple that will work on its LTE network. Other phones that will work on its LTE network include BlackBerry Z10, HTC One, and S3’s successor, Samsung Galaxy S4, which will go on sale starting on May 1. Samsung’s Galaxy Note II, which started shipping in September last year, will also work on T-Mobile’s LTE network, said a representative for the wireless carrier at the event.T-Mobile officials declined to comment on whether an LTE version of the Galaxy S III would become available.

The S III was announced last year and started shipping in the U.S. for all major networks starting in June. When announced, the smartphone worked on LTE networks from AT&T and Verizon, but T-Mobile at the time did not offer LTE and was working on deploying the network. The S III smartphone shipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon MSM8960 chipset, which includes an integrated LTE radio.

However, it remained unclear if the S III would work on T-Mobile’s LTE network. That led to discussion threads in T-Mobile’s forums and on other websites like XDA-developers on whether S III had forward support for LTE based on the MSM8960 chipset specifications. Forum members sent related questions to Samsung and T-Mobile representatives, but got mixed answers.

All S III phones use Qualcomm’s MSM8960 chipset, but Samsung and T-Mobile may have disabled the LTE capability on the smartphones designed for T-Mobile networks, said Anand Shimpi, a chip expert and founder of Anandtech, which reviews hardware.

Smartphones are planned starting roughly 18 months ahead of their release, and are designed for specific bands and frequencies, Shimpi said. It was likely too early for T-Mobile to determine what frequencies its LTE network would run on.

“You need the right front-end to enable LTE on the right frequency,” Shimpi said.

Qualcomm is trying to solve some of the LTE compatibility issues by cramming in support for a wide range of LTE bands in its chips, which could help smartphones interoperate on multiple networks in different countries, Shimpi said.
