The awards recognize leaders in the development, deployment and service of next-generation telecom technology. Nominations were open to all parties involved in 4G technology, products and services, and selected by a panel of 4G subject matter experts.
Samsung Mobile received the Best Mobile Internet Device award during ceremonies at the 4G World conference and expo (www.4gworld.com) in Chicago. Samsung Mobile and their award will be featured on the xchange and 4G World Web sites.
“xchange is pleased to honor Samsung Mobile’s contributions to the development and advancement of 4G technology and services,” said Mike Saxby, group publisher of xchange.
“The growth in the 4G arena has been incredible, as shown by Samsung Mobile’s achievement.”
“The innovation and effort that have been demonstrated by Samsung Mobile reflect the type of leadership that continues to drive opportunity and benefits throughout the emerging 4G industry,” said Eliot Weinman, conference chair and president, Events Division of Yankee Group.

The Samsung Mondi can harness upload and download speeds that double comparable devices running on 3G networks while taking advantage of the widespread connectivity of Mobile WiMAX. The Mondi is also equipped with WiFi, allowing users to keep strong wireless connections while working outside designated Mobile WiMAX markets.
Available in a solid black finish, this device slides open horizontally to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. The Mondi is packed with multimedia features that offer instant access to E-mail, Internet, video content and business applications. The device also supports various services including Fring, Gypsii, and Windows Live Messenger along with many other downloadable Windows Mobile apps not preloaded on device.

The Mondi’s compact design provides the user with a more mobile form factor and ease-of-use than the typical laptop or netbook. While it is small enough to fit into the user’s hand or pocket, the Mondi packs an impressive Web browser, powered by Opera 9.5, which takes full advantage of the device’s 4.3-inch touch screen.
The Best of 4G Awards winners were selected by an independent judging panel that consisted of Berge Ayvazian, senior adviser and principal consultant for Yankee Group; Adlane Fellah, CEO and founder of Maravedis Inc.; Caroline Gabriel, research director for Rethink Research; Phil Marshall, VP, enabling technologies, for Yankee Group; Craig Mathias, principal, Farpoint Group; Andy Mitchell, technical editor for Yankee Group; and Jennifer Pigg, VP, enabling technologies for Yankee Group.

Schematic To Create EIF Volunteerism Website
22 Sep 2009
Schematic, a WPP company, has announced its selection by the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) to create the EIF’s new iparticipate.org Website designed to boost Americans’ commitment to volunteerism by streamlining the task of finding suitable volunteer opportunities.
Launched last week, the groundbreaking site offers an immersive experience and fast navigation to allow users to quickly find appropriate volunteer choices wherever they may live. Users can search for and find volunteer work in areas such as conservation, children’s literacy, health, the environment, sports, support for military families and a host of other categories.
The iparticipate.org site is the information and action hub of the EIF’s overarching “I Participate” initiative announced last week at a star-studded event in New York’s Times Square and designed to spur Americans to action in addressing pressing social issues where they work and live.
Developed by Schematic to make it as easy as possible for busy users to find, research and evaluate potential volunteer options, the site integrates volunteering data from non-profit All For Good’s dynamically updated volunteer opportunities database. Users can access all the tools on the iparticipate.org site using just their Facebook login info.
“We are pleased and honored to have been chosen by the EIF to create the new iparticipate.org site in support of their mission of boosting volunteerism nationwide,” said Trevor Kaufman, CEO of Schematic.
“For people looking to be of service to their communities, the iparticipate.org site offers a simple and powerful way to quickly scan a myriad of relevant opportunities and hopefully find one that’s perfect for them.”
Known for its expertise in technology development and user interface design for brands such as NBC, Microsoft, Comcast, Target and Dell, Schematic brings a deep understanding of how to best connect companies with consumers through compelling experiences and content. Most recently, the firm took its knowledge of consumer behavior and response into the public space arena with the launch of its new Schematic Touch division to develop branded experiences for the interactive out-of-home (IOH) market.
