The American wireless industry has been phasing out the traditional 2 year contract in light of phones coming out more frequently and customers becoming disgruntled at being stuck with a 1-2 year old phone until next year.
Sprint hasn’t been doing particularly well in the past few years and continues to lose customers to other carriers. Since then they’ve been downsizing and cutting costs anywhere they could, they even removed Sprint’s own in-house repair centers from several stores in the beginning of the month. Sprint also gave store employees more cleaning duties to cut store maintenance costs.
The other 3 major carriers have already gotten rid of new 2 year contracts (unless you have a grandfathered 2 year agreement, you’d still have the option of renewing), so why did Sprint decide to bring back the 2 year contract?
Perhaps Sprint is in desperate need of customers that it needs to sell service to every customer it possibly can. The older generation of customers might still be oriented with a 2 year contract. Here’s what I mean:
The customer is attracted to the idea of slapping down one or two-hundred dollars and walking home with a brand new phone that he or she now owns (with the only caveat being that they were obligated to fulfill this contract for 24 months).
Maybe this group of customers is scared off when finding out their financed phone will cost six to seven-hundred dollars (total amount paid after 24 months) and are too stubborn to understand how a lease or financing program will benefit them, or let them switch phones more often, than a 2 year commitment.
Maybe I’m totally off. Maybe it’s a stubborn executive that wants to bring back the 2 year contract.
For the American wireless industry and competition’s sake, let’s hope Sprint can turn it around and take it back to the good ol’ days of 2010-2011 when Sprint launched the first 4G WiMax network in the world and thrived with phones like the Samsung Moment and the HTC EVO 4G was Sprint’s thriving star.

Son muchos los servicios de streaming de música existentes en estos momentos, como por ejemplo Spotify, uno de los más famosos y probablemente el más utilizado por los usuarios en todo el mundo. La noticia de hoy en cambio proviene de Google Play Music, y os aseguramos que es algo que os va a gustar.
Como muchos sabréis, este servicio de streaming de música de Google es de pago, por lo que deberíamos pasar por caja cada mes para poder utilizarlo. Es una herramienta que podemos utilizar desde nuestro smartphone o a través del propio ordenador utilizando un navegador web. Pues bien, gracias a una nueva promoción, parece que vamos a poder utilizarlo durante dos meses gratis.
Parece que esta promoción, según nos comentan desde El Androide Libre, ha sido para aprovechar que estos días ha estado el Mobile World Congress de Barcelona, lugar donde hemos visto la presentación de todo tipo de tecnología móvil.
Así pues, podemos hacernos con dos meses completamente gratuitos del servicio a través de este enlace, aunque para ello será necesario que añadamos una cuenta bancaria o cualquier tipo de forma de pago, aunque sea introduciendo un código para sumarle saldo. Durante estos dos meses no se nos cobrará nada, pero en cuanto pasen sí empezaremos a pagarlos. Por ello es sumamente importante que una vez nos hayamos dado de alta, cancelemos al momento la renovación automática para que al superar los meses de prueba no nos carguen ningún importe.
Si nos acaba gustando la aplicación después de probarla, se debe saber que la mensualidad por el servicio es de 9,99 euros. También es importante conocer que si ya fuimos objeto de alguna promoción anterior, no tendremos derecho a otra fase de prueba, algo bastante similar a lo que sucede con Spotify.
Google Play Music se encuentra disponible para su descarga desde Google Play. Para los que no lo sepáis, con esta utilidad podréis escuchar una gran cantidad de temas online y sin ningún tipo de publicidad, además de poder subir hasta 50.000 canciones propias para escucharlas en cualquier momento.
Lo cierto es que se trata de un buen servicio, pero si aún así no os termina de convencer, recordad que nosotros os recomendamos varias aplicaciones de música por streaming en una de nuestras listas de aplicaciones preferidas. ¿Sois usuarios de servicios de pago o en cambio utilizáis siempre versiones gratuitas?
Google Play | Google Play Music (descarga gratuita, necesaria suscripción mensual para usarla)
¿Y tú que piensas? Pásate por Google Play Music te ofrece dos meses gratis para dejar tu huella.

Small form factor computers have been steadily increasing in popularity for the last few years. Whether we’re talking about ultra-tiny, specialized systems like the diminutive undefinedIntel Compute Stick or sleek, two-in-one systems with clean lines and touch-screens, the power efficiency and relatively miniscule footprint of today’s processors have enabled a wide array of attractive small form factor systems that have resonated with consumers.
