MobileFiles Pro has just been announced by Quickoffice. The application was especially developed for the iPhone and the iPod touch. MobileFiles Pro won’t let you play with all those Microsoft Office docs but it will at least let you manage Excel documents. You can edit and save your spreadsheets in .xls format which is a good start. We should be expecting documents and presentations to be edited in the near future.

MobileFiles Pro will let you transfer files via WiFi from your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer. It will also let you access your MobileMe account and sync files with it.

Paul Moreton, vice president of product management at Quickoffice said:

This launch reinforces our commitment to deliver our award-winning software across leading smartphone platforms to allow more users to stay connected to all of their content and to improve productivity when on the go. We look forward to providing more upgrades to our iPhone application in 2009.

Want it already? It’s only $9.99 after the free trial.

If you ask me it was only a matter of time until Eye-Fi and iPhone were joined together by a tiny piece of software. The application was announced at Macworld and it works quite easy. All you need is an iPhone and an Eye-Fi card to upload images straight from your iPhone to your computer or the web. Of course the application would be even more welcomed if that iPhone had a much better camera and actual card support.

The application will let you gather all your pictures from your iPhone and a digital camera and have them organized neatly into folders on a computer and to one of 25 online photo sharing and social networking websites. Geotagging is also said to be supported. All we have to do now is wait for the application to come out. And we’d really appreciate a name for it too!

Ok guys and gals, since we’re waiting for Dell’s Adamo to arrive and potentially kick the Air’s arse we could use some more competition in this exclusive thin laptop niche. MSI has decided to join the party with its latest laptop which is the ultra-thin, 13.4 inch X-Slim 320. It measures 1.98cm in thickness and it weighs just 2.87 pounds. Will it fit inside an envelope? Probably yes!

The other features you might be interested in are the 4 or 8 cell battery that lasts up to 10 hours, the 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor, the 1366 x 768 resolution, the maximum 2GB of DDR2 RAM, the 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi support, the Bluetooth and 3.5G network card, the three USB ports, the Ethernet port, the VGA output and the all-in-one card reader.

Did I just make you ponder about getting one? Well it’s going to cost you around $800 when it arrives in the second quarter of 2009. Hopefully CES 2009 will add more details about this thin MSI.

We knew this one was happening folks! The BlackBerry 8900 Curve is ready to appear from T-Mobile. If you don’t like the Bold or the Thunder then the 8900 should definitely interest you. And today we are more than pleased to announce you that the 8900 is definitely happening in February as expected, but a week earlier that people said it would. The launch date has been moved to February 11 from February 18. That means you only have to wait about a month to get it. Now we only need a price for it!

The Nuvifone from Garmin might just be that fresh phone we’ve been waiting for at the start of this year. While the phone itself isn’t available just yet, Garmin has decided to launch some screenshots just to prove the phone is on the right track. So far Garmin has released shots showing the navigation app, Google Local, the Web browser, the Calendar and E-Mail.

How’s the interface you ask? Well take a look for yourself. Not bad for now although it hasn’t been actually tested. Will the Nuvifone arrive at CES 2009? We certainly hope so. It would be a wrong move for Garmin to miss such an event.

Some rumors pointed out that Garmin might use Google’s Android OS for its phone but the company firmly denied all that. The OS used is a modified Linux version. The company has however entered the Open Handset Alliance and it’s going to be working on a future Android phone, other that the Nuvifone.

Verizon has successfully purchased Alltel but we knew all that already. What’s new is the fact that Verizon plans to complete the acquisition by Friday, January 9th. Alltel is about to receive $5.9 million for Alltel’s 14 million subscribers. The move will finally transform Verizon into the largest U.S. carrier with 78 million customers.

Following the completion of the deal, Verizon will sell its assets in markets that overlap with Alltel and it will open a call center in Little Rock after closing Alltel’s headquarters from the same city. What are we going to expect from the top U.S. carrier in 2009? Hopefully just great things!

We’ve talked about iPhone tethering for so many times so far that it should only be fair for AT&T and Apple to officially settle the deal so far. We’ve seen both legal and illegal tethering version so we should only be waiting for the officially official version.

Is Tuesday’s Macworld keynote going to reveal an AT&T iPhone tethering plan? The plan has been rumored cost $30 per month for 5GB. Sounds familiar? Well that’s what AT&T BlackBerry users are paying so far. Will we be disappointed this Tuesday or will we be excited? We’ll answer that question soon.

When it comes to products and development, competition between rivals is always a good thing, right? Not when it comes to cell phone service. According to a recent article in Parade magazine data transmission in Europe and Asia is much faster than in the U.S. The Japanese have long been able to use their cellphones on the subway or use their handset like a credit card, both impossible anywhere in the United States.

The reason is simple. Europe and Asia decided long ago to adopt a single cellular network—GSM—whereas the United States still has two competing networks—GSM and CDMA. Because Europe and Asia have a single unified infrastructure underlying their cell phone service, different companies have been freed up to improve other aspects of their phones while the infrastructure takes care of itself. Maybe it’s time to turn the page on the battle of the cell phone signals and give American users a break.

I do admit the video above is a little longer but it’s really fun to watch. David Pogue is on top of his game. He knows tech and he knows his phones. Although he starts his presentation mocking Apple, what’s to follow is really interesting. He will show you some phone features you never knew about. He also talks about certain cell phone applications that will make your life much easier. Stay connected with all your friends no matter the distance and get all your much needed information as free as possible and straight to your smartphone. What will 2009 bring? We’re hoping only for the best as the cell phone industry should only go up despite the financial crisis.

Remember the pink iPhone we showed you a couple of days ago? Well we don’t know what the real deal with that one was but we do know that this (RED) iPhone here is fake. It’s just a custom case but not the official (PRODUCT) Red iPhone you would have expected.

There’s no official branding on the back which appears always on the products which are meant to contribute to the global fund for fighting AIDS. Although a red iPhone would be a nice alternative to the default colors.

It’s rumored that Palm will not only launch its expected Nova OS but that it will also launch a phone running on Nova this Thursday. CES 2009 is said to deliver this Thursday a new Palm phone which will have a full touchscreen and a QWERTY keyboard ready to slide underneath it.

We don’t have any actual facts yet so we will have to wait a few days to see if Palm will actually launch the phone or not. Palm should at least get the Nova OS out in the open as we have been waiting for it for quit a while now.

Are you waiting for the Samsung R470? Well the FCC has it and it seems that this clamshell phone will arrive from US Cellular. The phone is too large for my taste when it’s flipped open but it might be just the phone you were waiting for. It will feature multimedia support, stereo speakers, a large external display and a control pad. We don’t have the full specs list yet but once the phone gets the FCC’s approval we will be able to tell you more.

We have some disturbing news coming from AT&T at this start of the year. Well not exactly news yet but rumors. People say that the company has been reallocating its EDGE service to the 1900MHz weaker band. That means worse coverage for you. This move is supposed to increase their 3G strength. While we can appreciate AT&T’s interest in improving their HSPA service, we are also aware that not all AT&T subscribers own 3G capable phones. Thus the disturbance in the force.

Will the AT&T EDGE support be discontinued before the 3G network becomes more stable or after?
