Hi, I’m looking to invest in mobile app stocks and smartphone stocks. Can you provide any suggestions? So far I have SWKS, ARMH, MIMV, ZAGG, RFMD and NVDA from this list: http://www.wikinvest.com/wiki/Mobile_app_stocks but I need need additional positions. If there are any ETF’s with a focus on mobile that would be great too. Thanks – Phil Cantor

Rogers money grab data-sharing option? $20/mo.

Putting the iPhone SIM tray pin on your keychain? Priceless.

For everything else, there’s WIFI.

How do you go about setting up a shared plan. I have the 6GB option on my iphone 3g(upgrading to 4 in a couple of weeks). I have ipad 5 GB account that I activated from the ipad, didn’t see any options for sharing.

Thanks.

I don't know if I did anything special, but when I set mine up, they told me that data sharing was included in the $30/mo 6GB plan already… so… no extra charges to speak of! I got multiple reps to confirm this since I didn't believe them. I dunno we'll see once my bill comes…

Wow. I just confirmed with a Rogers retention rep who confirmed with their manager that iPad sharing is provided at no extra charge when you have the 6GB/mo iPhone deal…. Sweet! Here is hoping my next months bill reflects that!

I highly doubt that, Rogers would never give away something for free like that. Just another case of a Rogers CSR who doesn't know what he/she is talking about!!!

I was just told by a Rogers rep on the phone that if you have the 6GB plan, data sharing is included in the price. Not sure if this is true or not, but that's what she said.

Rogers reps have to freaking clue what they are doing. I called last Saturday to setup my data sharing. Lady on the phone told me extra $20.00/mo. I went to a Rogers store because I apparently needed a new micro SIM to share the data. They told, no it's actually only $10.00/mo to share data with the iPad. Called Rogers again to activate my new SIM (which isn't working so they told me to go to the Apple store to get my iPad looked at) and asked another lady how much iPad data sharing would be. She told me the cost was INCLUDED with my 6GB data plan (for $30.00/mo) and that it was $20/mo for all other data plans.

What the hell are they smoking over there? I have no idea what I'll be charged next month…
