o Survey: U.S. Cell Phone Owners
Not Using Multimedia, But Would Like To
Washington - A study of U.S. cell phone owners has found
that mobile maps top the list of desired features, followed by
instant messaging, search functionality and e-mail. The survey,
conducted by the Associated Press, AOL and the Pew Internet &
American Life Project, found that a third of cell phone owners (35%)
already use text-messaging -- a figure that jumps to two-thirds
(65%) among those ages 18-29 -- while 13% said they'd like to add
the feature. Overall, 65% of cell owners said they had purchased
wallpaper or ringtones, compared with 85% of 18-29 year-olds; 8%
overall said they had used their phones to vote in a contest such as
"American Idol". Among newer multimedia services, the survey found
that 6% of cell owners have used their phones to play music, while
19% would like the feature; 7% had used a phone to search for movie
listings, weather or stock prices, while 24% would like the feature;
2% had watched video or mobile TV programs, while 14% were
interested in the feature; and 4% had accessed mobile maps, while
47% would like the feature.

San Jose, Calif. - Online payments provider PayPal this

Entertainment, Bravo, MTV and the NBA already signed on to the
offering. "With the overwhelming popularity of mobile phones, the
time has never been better for the merging of ecommerce and wireless

more than 100 million accounts worldwide, and our customers have
already entrusted their personal and financial information to PayPal.
Now, making payments is as easy as sending a text message anytime,
from anywhere for the millions of customers that prefer to use
PayPal." The service will allow companies to feature a Text to Buy
logo in their advertising campaigns, with a corresponding code that
consumers can type into their phones to purchase goods and services
through their established PayPay accounts.

Service Lets Bands Create, Sell Ringtones Through MySpace
Las Vegas - Wireless carrier Cingular has announced a

appropriate. Infospace will then create a 30-second ringtone, which
bands may then post previews of and sell from their MySpace pages.

San Francisco - CNET News.com reported on Friday that
high-definition video streaming, which requires twice the bandwidth
of standard-definition streaming, will likely not be offered in the
U.S. anytime soon. "HD files tend to be too large to easily stream
or download over typical American broadband connections," Joe
Laszlo, senior broadband analyst for Jupiter Research, told News.com.
"Our 1.5 megabyte connections are great for music, OK for
lower-quality video but fairly unacceptable for HD video...I don't
think we'll see a lot of HD content." While the typical broadband
connection offers 2 to 3 megabits per second, the minimum bandwidth
needed for HD is 5mbps.
