LEARNING - What we should be doing at college, right?!

I read Sophie's post and learnt that GPRS was developed to try and help 2G with the speed it can send and receieve data. GPRS allows you to be receiving information as well as being on the phone at the same time.
In 2000, GPRS was released, it was known under something called phase one, phase one only allowed you to send information to one device at a time. GPRS is hoping to bring out phase 2 which will allow you to send information to more than one device at a time.

Thank you Sophie for helping me understand what GPRS is about.

If i have made any mistakes, don't hesitate to correct me :)

>> 3G << This took me ages.. so READ!!!

3G technology  first started in 2000, since then it has become more and more popular. In 2000, 3G was a completely new technology out, it was not linked to 2G technology. As it was something new on offer it started off with a few problems. 3G’s biggest problem was that it was extemely expensive.  In order for 3G to work, new networks had to be built which added to the cost. After a year of getting 3G together, Japan launched 3G in 2001.

3G allows network providers to offer their  customers more. For instance, people with 3G on their mobile phones can video call. Other advantages include having the internet wirelessly whenever you need it. 3G systems provide quick internet access to all kinds of data like map and positioning services. 3G can be used for whatever you choose whether it’s multi-player gaming or even shopping whilst you are sitting at home.  (obviously being able to shop 24/7 is my favorite feature of 3G!!)

Although 3G is now being put onto even the most basic phones, it wasn’t like that the entire time. 3G was only a feature which was added to smart phones such as the iPhone, Blackberry and other brands which sell more advanced mobile phones.
