Googe phone plans to be announced Monday
The long-awaited announcement of Google's phone plans will occur earlier than expected, and not in the form previously laid out, says the Wall Street Journal. While it had been suggested that an announcement would come November 13th at the earliest, the Journal's sources say that it will mostly likely happen Monday, November 5th, and with different carriers. T-Mobile is still involved, but the other main party is said to be Sprint. Foreign carriers may be included, but have not been mentioned. Google is again said to be working with cellular networks and phone makers to promote an "open" application platform, courting companies such as HTC, LG, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. With T-Mobile Google is claimed to be going even further, cooperating directly on building phones using its software.
iPods music to faculty's ears
Like so many students who sport the trademark white earbuds walking to and from class, McHenry County College faculty members will soon be joining the iPod revolution. After receiving a $12,600 AT&T Excelerator Grant, MCC will purchase 90 new 4-gigabyte iPod Nanos for use next semester. The iPods will serve as vehicles for communication in the classroom and will work as portable hard disks for transporting lecture materials to and from school. "The faculty is really psyched about this," said Kathy Plinske, MCC's executive director of institutional effectiveness. "I've been approached by so many of them who want to know, 'How do I sign up?' " With about 100 full-time and 250 adjunct college faculty members, one in four teachers will receive an iPod. The iPods will be distributed to faculty on a first-come, first-serve basis.
