GeekSugar — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 13:25:06 -0700

We've heard talking on a cell phone before bed can result in health complications. We've heard that germs on cell phones can cause rashes. And about half of GeekSugar readers worry about their phone causing cancer or other health issues. We use our phones daily - sometimes for hours on end - but how bad is the radiation really?

The Environmental Working Group has crafted a list ranking more than 1,000 cell phones according to the radiation levels they emit. The list is based on technical data provided by the manufacturers.To see the top 10 best and worst rated phones (and more importantly, check where your cell stands), read more.

Full Length TV Shows and Movies Coming to Cell Phones

GeekSugar — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 09:00:31 -0700

Did you know that NBC Universal has been offering shows like The Office and Heroes for cell phones through a service called Mobi TV? Yeah, it hasn't been that popular, mainly because of the $1.99 price tag and because shows are only available for 24 hours after they air.

Well according to USA Today, AT&T is the latest network to jump on the mobile TV shows bandwagon and will launch next month with channels from CBS, Fox, NBC, Comedy Central, ESPN, MTV and Nickelodeon. By purchasing a new LG Vu or Samsung Access phone, customers will have access to all their favorite TV shows and be able to watch them in their entirety. No word on phone pricing just yet, or subscription costs, but I'm pretty sure it will be drastically cheaper than $1.99 for only 24 hours!
