The global Ovi.com website was recently unveiled by Nokia is intended to bring all their web services, including Nokia Maps, Files on Ovi, and Share on Ovi, all under one banner.

Furthermore, there is a new Ovi service out called Sync on Ovi and has been launched to enable both Series 40 and S60 powered Nokia mobile handset owners to easily sync their appointments, contacts, and notes with Ovi.

As Nokia owners can see the benefits of this new service are quite obvious as users will be able to easily manage their PIM data from a web browser and sync to any of their Nokia mobile phones.

The new Sync on Ovi system can also be used to keep two phones in sync, such as maybe a user’s personal and work mobile handsets.

You mobile operator will of course charge the user for all the data transfer the user makes, however Sync on Ovi is free to use.

AT&T is having a few new pieces of mobile hardware showing up at their stores, although it isn’t exactly anything to write home about really.

AT&T now has the Samsung a237 or at least a dummy of the mobile handset and it’s not a bad low priced flip style mobile. They also have another Samsung device with a hidden front display but as yet unidentified, but no doubt we’ll find out sooner or later.

And then they have the recently released USBConnect Mercury, which is one of the prettiest looking data sticks that has come to market in a long while, and one thing is for sure the USBConnect Mercury is a darn sight more attractive than the USBConnect 881.

So if any of you kind souls over in the land of the free care to pop into your local AT&T store and identify the unidentified Samsung mobile phone, drop us a line and tell us about it.

With the future of the Internet looking like it will include a lot of data used by video streaming, you would think we would all need more bandwidth in our broadband package.

Comcast has put a cap of 250 gigabytes on their broadband service starting Oct. 1, and as they are one of the largest Internet providers in the U.S., what will happen now?

No one wants to find his or her Internet slow and this move is to stop excessive use and limit Internet consumption. Some broadband customers have been using many times what Comcast would like and this move is in direct response to that situation,

With this 250 gigabyte-a-month cap aimed at residential users, will it be enough for the average Comcast user? Let us know in the comments or read other Comcast news.

There is no official word on this yet, but it looks as if Sony Ericssion has revamped some existing mobile phones and unveiled them in all new colours, some of which look quite cool.

Although I have said it before, and will probable say it again, when a company has no real new news on any relent releases what do they do? Why they push out a few old models wearing a shiny new coat.

It cleans up the models, gives the mobile phone user something else to choose from, and puts the company’s product back into the public eye, even if for only a short period.

Still, it makes the news I guess, so here’s what Sony Ericsson has colourized…the Sony Ericsson G502 in Celerity Red, Sony Ericsson W380 in pink, Sony Ericsson C702 in Energy Black, Sony Ericsson C902 in Cinnamon Bronze and Titanium Silver, Sony Ericsson W980 in Opera Brown and Violin Red, Sony Ericsson W350 in Turbo Red and Wisteria Purple, and the Sony Ericsson W910 in Lipstick Pink and Prime Silver.

Like I said, not official as yet.
