<description><![CDATA[Using Wi-Fi over a wired connection at home could bring your speeds down about 30 percent, suggests a new study out today by broadband research firm Epitiro.Tracking the broadband connections of sample users in the U.S., U.K., Italy, and Spain, Epitiro found that on average people lost around 30 percent of their download speed using Wi-Fi over wired. Further, Wi-Fi users ran into a 10 to 20 percent increase in latencies, or delays, when downloading content.Why such a disparity in performance Many Wi-Fi routers use the same default communications channel, which can create interference with neighboring networks. To solve that issue, Epitiro advises Wi-Fi users to try a different channel to see if performance improves, a process explained in Step 6 of this Microsoft document on improving your wireless network.But Epitiro also points out that Wi-Fi performance can be degraded by physical items, such as walls and furniture, and bump into interference from other wireless devices using the same frequency, such as cordless phones, TV remotes, and even baby monitors. The Microsoft document also offers suggestions on resolving interference problems as well as other issues.The good news is that actual Web page download times between Wi-Fi and wired connections were just about the same, according to Epitiro's findings, indicating that they're less affected by changes in line speed.One handy Web site that can show you your broadband speeds is Speedtest.net. Running the site's performance tests will measure your download and upload speeds and tell you how they compare with those of other users.To compile its data, Epitiro checked and compared the performance of 14,001 users across the four countries, with 56 percent hopping onto the Internet via Wi-Fi and 44 percent through wired Ethernet connections. The study was conducted from November 2010 to February 2011.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Mozy, the online backup service, is testing out a bit of technology offered by rival DropBox: file synchronization.The company started telling customers today that it's begun closed beta testing of the sync feature, which will let files stored on one machine automatically be replicated on another. It's a big advancement over Mozy's bread-and-butter of file backup, transforming the service into something people actively use rather than run passively in the background. It also dovetails with the multicomputer subscription plans Mozy introduced in January at the same time it announced it's ditching unlimited-data backup.Also taking a page from Dropbox, Mozy announced mobile apps for Android,iPhone, andiPad that let people access their archived files. Again, this makes an archive more actively useful.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Verizon&amp;'s iPhone is coming in late January, sooner than the previously reported February 3 date, according to the Wall Street Journal.The paper&amp;'s sources have generally been reliable about Apple news than others, and it&amp;'s somewhat more believable than the previous report, which depended on rumors of vacation blackouts for Apple employees.Either way, we won&amp;'t have to wait to long to learn when the Verizon iPhone will finally be available, as Verizon is set to announce the phone at a New York event on Tuesday.Additionally, it appears that the Verizon iPhone will use the carrier&amp;'s current voice and data plans (not that we thought it would receive any special treatment), according to Reuters.This means that Verizon iPhone users would be paying slightly more than they would on AT&amp;amp'T, which offers a slightly cheaper maximum data plan. But AT&amp;amp'T&amp;'s data plan is capped at 2 gigabytes, while Verizon still offers unlimited data to its users for $30 a month. Verizon also offers unlimited night and weekend voice minutes on its $40 base plan, while AT&amp;amp'T limits minutes during those times.Via ElectronistaPrevious Story: Attack of the robot massager (video)PrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: CDMA, iPhone, iPhone 4, smartphonesCompanies: Apple, AT&amp;amp'T, Verizon          Tags: CDMA, iPhone, iPhone 4, smartphonesCompanies: Apple, AT&amp;amp'T, VerizonDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.

<description><![CDATA[Apple just wrapped up its press event for the iPad 2, and Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman has already weighed in with her response. Her verdict: Apple chief executive Steve Jobs is right when it says that a4A2011 will be the year of the iPad 2.a4During the event, Jobs made several digs at the competition, arguing that a wave of a4Acopycata4 devices are flooding the market, but theya4a4re taking the wrong approach by treating tablets as a4Athe next PC marketa4 rather than a4Apost-PC devices that need to be easier to use than a PC, more intuitive.a4 Jobsa4a4 confidence seems well-earned, given the iPada4a4s stellar sales &amp;8212' J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskowitz had previously predicted that Apple will dominate the market until 2012 at least.So how does the iPad 2 affect that argument Rotman predicts that the device will claim 80 percent of the total US marketshare for tablets in 2011. The iPad 2 seems to represent an incremental improvement over its predecessor rather than a huge leap forward, but Rotman argued that the key to Applea4a4s victory lies not in a rational comparison of features. Instead, it&amp;'s mostly about adding enough cool stuff to stir consumers&amp;' emotions:Apple understands desire. The first thing consumers will notice about the iPad 2 is how it feels: Lighter (by a crucial 2 ounces) and thinner (at 8.8mm, thinner than an iPhone 4). Color triggers emotion: iPad 2 comes in not just black but white, with multiple colors in the thin &amp;''smart covers&amp;'' that snap into place with &amp;''auto-aligning magnets&amp;'' and clean those unsightly fingerprints off your screen.  a4In a post-PC world, consumers have a more intimate relationship with their devices. They use them on the couch and in bed and not just at their desk. They show their devices to other people (40% of iPad owners in Forrester&amp;'s surveys report regularly sharing their iPad with other people). Fostering that desire is a smart way to differentiate your piece of glass from other pieces of glass that perform essentially the same functions.Still, Rotman said ita4a4s possible that someone could take on the iPad, pointing to Amazon, Sony, and Microsoft as companies that might announce something formidable. So Apple has solidified its place at the top but, she said, a4AThings could get rowdy.a4Next Story: Nintendo to partner with Netflix, AT&amp;038'T to boost 3DS Previous Story: Ge Wang on iPad 2: it&amp;'s better for multimedia app makers (video)PrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: iPad, iPad 2, tabletsCompanies: Apple, ForresterPeople: Sarah Rotman, Steve Jobs          Tags: iPad, iPad 2, tabletsCompanies: Apple, ForresterPeople: Sarah Rotman, Steve JobsAnthony is a senior editor at VentureBeat, as well as its reporter on media, advertising, and social networks.

<description><![CDATA[Googlea4a4s Nexus S smartphone is remarkably faster than iPhone 4 loading mobile web pages, says a study by Blaze Software &amp;8212' a study that Apple disputes.Both devices are generally fast. The median load time with Nexus S was 2.144 seconds' for the iPhone load time was 3. 254 seconds.Blaze used Fortune 1000 websites for the test. There were 45,000 load tests in all. Android-based Nexus S was faster 4 times out of 5.But Apple disputes the validity of Blaze&amp;'s testing. &amp;''Their testing is flawed,&amp;'' Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris told CNET, noting that Blaze used a proprietary app with an embedded Web browser instead of Apple&amp;'s Safari browser.Both browsers have a new JavaScript engine for better performance. According to Blaze, they were not much faster than previous versions. The average user does not necessarily notice any difference in download times. The performance improvements a4Aseem to be reserved to JavaScript benchmarks and high-complexity appsa4, the study said.The Nexus S was running Google&amp;'s Android 2.3 operating system and a version of Google&amp;'s Chrome browser. Applea4a4s iPhone 4 was running the iOS 4.3 operating system and a Safari browser.  Blaze tested the download times mostly over Wi-FI connected to a fast DSL line. There was also some 3G testing. In the tests Wi-Fi was usually faster but only by 0.5 seconds.Google and Apple are fierce rivals in the smartphone market. But this is not the first time Apple has bristled at insinuations that Web browsing on its hardware is slower than rival platforms. Wired pointed out that Internet Explorer ran slowly on Macs in 2002. Less than a year later, Apple revealed the first version of its Safari Web browser.Via ComputerworldCalling all mobile executives: This April 25-26, VentureBeat is hosting its inaugural VentureBeat Mobile Summit, where we&amp;'ll debate the five key business and policy challenges facing the mobile industry today.
