The mobile web still works with billso.com

I’ve reconfigured m.billso.com and the entire billso.com site to work with most web-capable mobile phones, smartphones and PDAs.

iPhone and iPod Touch users will see the regular desktop version of billso.com on their devices. These users can still save a bookmark to their home screen, and that entry will display the billso.com logo.

billso.mobi will also redirect users to billso.com

I started using mowser.com in February 2008 to provide a mobile version of billso.com. Mowser inserted advertisements on the pages to help support the service.

Sadly, mowser.com has been sold and it is shutting down some of their services. Read co-founder Russell Beattie’s article for more details.

T-Mobile’s parent may buy Sprint

all

Posted Tuesday, 6 May 2008

T-Mobile’s parent company, Deutsche Telekom, seems interested in buying Sprint Nextel, according to this Engadget article, which is based on a report from German newspaper Der Spiegel.

Sprint Nextel logo Sprint already has enough problems trying to absorb Nextel’s incompatible network. The combined company has bled subscribers ever since the 2005 merger was announced. Check these articles from the Wall Street Journal and Engadget for more of the gory details, including this quote from February 2008:

Sprint lost more money in the fourth quarter of 2007 than the company is worth.

Add GSM to this mix and Sprint’s “deal from hell” would only get worse. However, DT has been rolling out UMTS, a 4G technology that supports GSM and CDMA, in its European and US markets.

The interesting part pf all this is that Nextel may not be included in the deal, according to the Wall Street Journal and Engadget. Spring may spin off Nextel, giving the push-to-talk provider its independence.
