FirstNews Briefs for Jan. 6, 2009

WirelessWeek - January 06, 2009

Research In Motion’s BlackBerry Curve 8900 may arrive in T-Mobile stores as soon as Feb. 11, according to the blog Tmonews.com. Early reviews of the device, which is already for sale in Germany, have been very positive.

NBC Bay Area launched the NBC Bay Area Traffic Cam, a free service for commuters to receive live videos of traffic on mobile phones. The service is advertising-supported and works on a variety of carriers and handsets.

DeviceAnywhere said its device testing service now works with the Google Android G1 smartphone. The G1 is sold by T-Mobile, which joined DeviceAnywhere’s network last summer.

PCTEL acquired Wi-Sys Communications, an Ottawa-based company that specializes in GPS antenna and receiver technology. In 2008 Wi-Sys’ products and technology generated $2.2 million in revenue. PCTEL will pay $2.1 million for Wi-Sys and will fully integrate the Wi-Sys operations into its antenna products group.
