Although the Apple iPhone has sold millions of units since it’s introduction in June, 2007, the common theme was that potential buyers would wait for a ‘Version 2′ of the iPhone release. The first generation of the iPhone model lacked some features such as: no 3G, no open platform and it did not have a removable battery, just to mention a few. Also, the thought of buying anything ‘completely new’ was also a deterrent as manufacturers seldom produce the perfect ‘first version’ of anything correctly.

So what about ‘Version 2′ of the iPhone? Apple-Insider recently reported that a mobile carrier in Sweden will introduce the first 3G driven iPhone, as soon as January, 2008. But there is no guarantee that the 3G version of the iPhone will be available in the United States anytime soon. So keep tuned as it is only a matter of time. The idea of a broadband, high-speed internet or iTunes screaming through your iPhone is an tantalizing thought. So be patient.

Recently, Randall Stephenson, an AT&T CEO stated that the 3G iPhone will be available sometime in 2008. No details were given on the exact date, but he did say that Apple is in the development phase. The primary reason why the iPhone did not originally have 3G was because of the poor battery life of the iPhone. Other manufacturers, such as Sony Ericsson has this battery issue solved and offers 3G, so its just a matter of time.

How Much Bigger, Better, Faster Is 3G?
So 3G, which is short for “Third-Generation Wireless”, has been on the wireless blotter for a few years now, is the next generation high speed mobile service based on GSM. The 3G platform supports high speed broadband, allowing extended speed of wireless transmission of: text, voice, multimedia, and video at rates from 384-kbps to 2-Mbps. The end game of 3G is to provide mobile users with the same high speed services that are offered by broadband. With 3G, the mobile phone user can access high-speed internet, video-conferencing, video and TV services directly on their mobile unit such as the iPhone.

3G can support speeds from 384kbps to 2 Mbps where the current 2.5G system has rates of 9.6 to 40 kbps. Quite a bit faster.

The development of 3G was to address the demand for extended fast mobile network capacity requirements and services. The ITU (International Telecommunication Union) originated and defined the 3G concept back in the 1980s. In 1999, the 3G (Third-Generation Partnership Project) was formed to establishing 3G specifications. The 3G Partnership Project is a collaboration of several global telecommunications standards from: Japan, Europe, the United States, China and Korea.

When you think of investing, a lot of investors do not think of real estate foreclosures as a viable highly profitable investment vehicle. This is due primarily because most do not want to spend the time learning the secrets or have the time to find properties in foreclosure. Most investors are also reluctant to trust the various media and hype associated with foreclosure investing.

RealtyTrac™ www.RealtyTrac.com
is a leading online reliable marketplace listing for nationwide foreclosure properties. RealtyTrac publishes one of the largest, most concise national databases of potential foreclosure properties, with listing of more than 700,000 properties from over 2,500 counties across the United States. RealtyTrac is also the foreclosure data provider for: Yahoo! Real Estate, MSN Real Estate, Knight Ridder Online, AOL Real Estate, just to mention a few.

Experts and realty analysts predict foreclosures nationwide will increase in the very near future if the low rate of home appreciation remains constant. This foreclosure prediction is consistent with every area of the country. As the economy is beginning to slow down, there are people who are losing their jobs and thus can not keep up with their mortgage payments. There are presently tens of thousands of homeowners who are in the preliminary stages of losing their homes to foreclosure!

There Are 3 Stages when Buying A Foreclosure Property:
• The first is Pre-foreclosure
• Second, a Foreclosure auction
• Last, buying from the mortgage lender after the foreclosure

• There is however a fourth option. This is where a real estate agent, who happens to specialize in foreclosure investments steps in. They have contacts with groups of investors and when a home is in pre-foreclosure, the real estate agent advises these investors, hoping that the loan on the home can be reinstated. Reinstating the loan usually requires what is owing on the property, which is usually around several thousands dollars.

You can invest and participate in these types of foreclosure investing, provided you know resources like RealtyTrac or have a good relationship with realtor’s who specialize in foreclosures.

Once a homeowner receives a foreclosure notice, that does not automatically mean they will be lose their home. As all real estate property appreciates, this has allowed a lot of homeowners to get equity loans because of the increased value of the home to pay off what they owe, thus avoiding foreclosure altogether. Those homeowner however, who have already previously refinanced their home or previously got a home equity loan can not use the “borrow” option to save the foreclosure.

This has created a perfect opportunity for real estate foreclosure investors to step in and loan money to the distressed homeowner, and at the same time getting a very good return on their investment.

This is a win-win scenario. You, the real estate foreclosure investor, can help the distressed homeowner by saving their credit rating and you making a nice profit at the same time. This is known as pre-foreclosure real estate investing and is one of the best real estate investment opportunities.

If you are interested in real estate pre-foreclosure investing, RealtyTrac can be an excellent place to start.

‘Cyber Monday’ falls on the Monday right after the Thanksgiving day long weekend, and is now said to be the busiest online shopping day of the year for online retailers. The reason is that internet users, going back to the daily grind after their long weekend, start doing their online holiday shopping on that day. The large online shopping and online box retailers are really picking up on this trend and are now offering amazing savings on their websites directed just for that day.

The thinking of course is to get your fill of Thanksgiving turkey and then get your shopping/fighting gear on… strap on your surfing goggles, arm yourself with industrial strength coffee and ready, get set, go… start shopping online. You will not only avoid the jammed parking lots and the long lineups, you will also be amazed with the savings the online retailers are offering.

Free Coupons & Great Deals For Cyber Monday!

According to large online retail associations such as Shop.org, they are reporting more than 80% of their online members receiving a significant surge in traffic on Cyber Monday.

They offer the following explanation for the instant spike in traffic:
- Surfers and employees with internet access, are returning back to work from their Thanksgiving long weekend, log in and start, find or finish their shopping that they may have overlooked from “Black Friday”, which is the busiest day and kickoff for the “Brick and Mortar” holiday season.

Promotions, Coupons and Discounts Offered by Online Retailers
- Online retailers now expect an instant surge in online traffic and sales on that Monday. So to prepare for that traffic, they are now offering lower prices, coupons and deep discount promotions.

The origin of the term “Cyber Monday” is still unclear. But no doubt it is the fabrication by these online marketers to create a hype that at one time did not exist. As more of our holiday shopping is quickly moving online, they are obviously creating a window to define the online holiday shopping season.

Just like its counterpart, Black Friday, which is the official start of the holiday shopping for “Brick and Mortar” stores, Cyber Monday is becoming just as important to entice consumers to start shopping early to avoid the last minute rush.

The trend however in consumer shopping behavior has always been to slowly ease into the annual holiday shopping season. As far as the “real” busiest online shopping day goes, that occurs a week or two before Christmas and for our neighborhood stores, the busiest shopping day is… surprise, the last Saturday before Christmas.
