SMS for free

With Jaxtr you can send for free SMS with a length of 65 characters. This service is available in 38 country so it's pretty probable that you can use it.

When your contact receives the message can reply to you directly to your phone if you've registered it to Jaxtr. If you didn't your friend will be able to answer by a link provided in the message.

The service seems to work fine, I just tested it with few message that arrived immediately.

The only thing that I'm looking for is a sidebar gadget: it would make Jaxtr perfect.

iPhone now 99€ in Germany

Am I dreaming? iPhone is now sold at 99€ (154 USD circa) in Germany.

Is T-Mobile trying to push sales? Or does it know something about iPhone 3G?

I personally think that a new iPhone release is on the way: even if iPhone is still a revolutionary device (no one has reached such a great usability), Apple must keep the technology gap among itself and its competitors.

This is the link to the T-Mobile page.

German users, enjoy!

Is there any room for iPhone or Android?

Just look at the market share: with the big exception of the North America (That is too enterprise engaged) smartphone is nearby a Symbian synonym.

As in the PC operating system market, share means software and software means users making the market share grow.

In such a contest appears clear that the key for having more and more users is to give the possibility to have more and more software. Google is trying to create a community around its android in order to give innovative service to users, but it can not be enough. Apple after the first prohibitionist phase released iPhone SDK, but it is too limited and their phone is still a fashion object.

Why I should abandon my S60 Symbian? I don't think I could find more features, I don't mind of having a cool but useless iPhone and Android is still more a prototype than a product.
