 Okay, so
we fully understand that it would make life a lot easier on AT&T if every smartphone on its
network used the same operating system, but we're not so sure we like the idea of losing the whole
"ability to choose." Speaking at the Symbian Partner Event in San Francisco, AT&T's Roger Smith
(director of next generation services, data product realization at AT&T) reportedly stated that
he wanted to "standardize on a single operating system for AT&T-branded smartphones as part of
a dramatic consolidation of its mobile platforms over the next few years." Given the location of
the speech, it's
no shock that Symbian was named
"a very credible and likely candidate" to be that system, and for those questioning the iPhone, he
was quick to point out that said mobile is simply a third-party device tapping into AT&T's
technologies. Honestly, we're not sure how to take this seriously -- is he really saying he's
willing to alienate RIM and / or Microsoft in order to only sell Symbian-based handsets?
Doubtful.

A European court has slapped down the UK for violating human rights with its fingerprint and DNA
database, in that it a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7764069.stm" target="_new"retained
the data on people not convicted of crimes/a. Until now, the UK police recorded fingerprints and
DNA info on everyone iarrested/i, but two guys who weren't convicted felt that their info should be
deleted from the database, and the court has now agreed. The UK's defense was that "this info is
important in fighting crime." Of course, so would be forcing everyone to wear a GPS device and
record everything they do on cameras only the police can watch -- but we don't allow that because
it's a violation of privacy. Either way, the UK now needs to start destroying info in its database
and purge its data on other people who weren't convicted.br /br /a
