Skype has launched its mobile client beta. The application available for subscribers from all over the world features a chat, group chat, receiving Skype users calls. The call Skype-to-Skype and SkypeOut are available only in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Poland, Sweden and the UK.

It is recommended to use unlimited traffic plans, though the service used the standard mobile network for Skype, SkypeOut and SkypeIn calls, and in all the other cases the connection is carried out via the Internet. It is assumed that the prices for the voice call will match the standard operator prices – and under the standard prices come local (but not international) calls.

Associated Press is announcing the new advertisement-sponsored mobile service for smartphones (the ones like iPhone). The service will be launched this summer under the name “Mobile News Network.” It will provide the international news by AP, plus local new by local papers.

Tom Curley, AP CEO, stated:

“The formation of the Mobile News Network positions members to capture opportunities on high-growth mobile platforms. Members can participate by providing local news that will appear alongside their logos. Importantly, the network also offers a new outlet for members to sell local advertising to the mobile audience.”

AP will pay and manage the service in realizing its technical and advertising-financial functions, local advertising will be sold by the local publishing agencies, and the international advertising will be sold by advertising networks. The profit will be shared equally between news providers and advertising sellers. The given network will be the first product by Digital Cooperative, an application created in order to find new digital channels from gaining profit from information and news provided by AP members.

The company KHCW-TV has launched a transport service with advertisement sponsorship which will enable Houston drivers to avoid traffic jams. The service will give access to over 600 cameras that show traffic on roads and it is operated by Houston TranStar on mobile devices.

The cameras are built along speedways, paid motorways and a number of thoroughfares of the city and its suburbs. In order to start using the service, the drivers will have to download the application to their mobile devices and set up buttons for fast control and switching between images sent real-time.

Roger Bare, VP and general manager of KHCW-TV, Tribune Broadcasting Company, Houston, commented:

“This is something that isn’t dependent on having a morning news show to offer traffic to commuters. This service gives people real-time traffic information anytime, anywhere and should prove to be popular with local commuters.”

Dinah Massie Martinez, public information officer, Houston TranStar, said:

“This new service supports our mission of enhancing transportation services to taxpayers throughout the region. Drivers will be able to plan the most time and fuel-efficient route to wherever they are going before ever setting foot in their vehicles.”

The Golden Boy’s general director shared with ESPN.com the idea that negotiations between four-division champion Floyd Mayweather and six-division world champion Oscar De la Hoya, whose first fight in the spring 2007 set a record for the handle, are near to meeting the end. He admits that the official announcement is soon to come.

The rematch is appointed foe 13 or 20 of September. Still the place to hold the fight is not set yet – probably it will take place either at Home Depot Center or Los Angeles Galaxy for 2700 seats.

Taking in account the greatest success of the first fight it was difficult to turn down the idea of a rematch.

There is a great buzz around Mayweather vs De La Hoya tickets for the rush and the interest of the match has beaten all possible records.

Oscar De La Hoya was planning to come back to the ring on 3 of May but didn’t find a partner.

After Hatton’s defeat Floyd became the most profitable trial for De La Hoya.

The main intrigue is that it was decided that Mmayweather senior will train De La Hoya for the match with hi own son. The boxer says: “The feeling of a great hunger came back. It will make a great difference with Mayweather senior in my corner. Now when I have particular experience (the latest match with Mayweather junior) and he ( Mayweather senior) has shown m several tricks which will help to fight over his son. He is with me for 100 per cent. I’ve already started to train and so far was successful in it - I’m sure I’ll be able to win”
