online

Briefly: Business users who need an Apple iPhone 3G can now order one online through the AT&T’s Business website. Pricing and monthly fees remained the same.

AmericanGreetings.com in association with Image Semantics brings a new on-line mobile service for those who like sending e-cards. It is available at no extra charge for all AmericanGreetings.com subscribers in the U.S. Users can send e-cards for free, but receiving may cost one up to 30 cents depending on the messaging plan. So, here's how it works:

Sender sends the e-card

Recipient gets a handset discovery message that detects the model of the phone and askes the permission to deliver the card

If the recipient agrees, the e-card is delivered in the best format available for the current model

It may sound complicated at first, but it actually takes a couple of clicks.

In an announcement that has produced more questions than answers, Sony Ericsson has hinted that they'll be opening an online music store in the coming months, largely in response to Nokia's digestion of Loudeye. Of course, parent Sony runs Connect, so it remains to be seen how (or even if) the new service will integrate with it; if it does, this could be a trick way for Sony Ericsson to get more exposure with their Walkman devices than they've managed so far in the States.
