The following link will take you to an article about Microsoft Windows coming out with their Windows 7 Phone on November 8th. The phone is being created from scratch and is said to avoid the shortcomings of Windows Mobile. It will be released on five different smart phones in the United States. Zune technology will power the media player and will give them a chance to access different kinds of media that is synced with the user's home computer. I found this to be interesting because it seems that everyone in now coming up with their own mobile phone. Like I mentioned in my last wiki update, Facebook is trying to design a mobile phone. It will soon get to a point in which every major company will try to come up with their own mobile device and outdo each other. This may be a good or bad but only time will tell. For now, let's see if Windows Phone 7 can live up to the hype.

What if we could sign our signature for a credit card transaction with the swip of our index fingertip? According to The New York Times online article, credit card transactions done through an iPhone could be in the near future. With Square, you can purchase a device to clip on the top of your iPhone or iPad, authorizing you to scan and charge credit cards. Interestingly, the chief executive of the company is Jack Dorsay, co-founder of Twitter. Although, it seems Square has a lot to fix with the system, it would be be interesting if this is what we will be seeing, doing, and purchasing in the near future.
