Yes or no, WiFi phones will take on their cellular cousins? The NY Times is trying to answer to this question in a good sum-up article. But anyway, there’s this interesting announcement on T-Mobile USA and its upcoming WiFi/GSM dual-mode phones.
Later this year, T-Mobile plans to test a service that will allow its subscribers to switch seamlessly between connections to cellular towers and Wi-Fi hotspots, including those in homes and the more than 7,000 it controls in Starbucks outlets, airports and other locations, according to analysts with knowledge of the plans. The company hopes that moving mobile phone traffic off its network will allow it to offer cheaper service and steal customers from cell competitors and landline phone companies like AT&T.
