People who are pretty conscious on their health and their weight are going to love this new app released by MyNetDiary. The new app called the MyNetDiary Calorie Counter is aimed at people who want to keep track of the food they eat. The Calorie Counter also features a large food base which will certainly come in handy for people who want to slim down and attain their weight goals.

The MyNetDiary Calorie Counter for BlackBerry tracks up to 36 different nutrients and pulls food information from a database with over 88,000 U.S., UK and Canadian foods and restaurants. It is fully optimized for mobile phones, searching as you type and automatically correcting typos. Used in conjunction with a MyNetDiary account, a member has unlimited access to food planning tools, charts and fully-detailed reports.

MyNetDiary members can also link to their Twitter accounts, automatically sending “tweets” of their foods, exercises and weigh-ins for added accountability.

The MyNetDiary Calorie Counter app can be downloaded at the developer’s site and is available at various membership rates.

• $9 per month

One thing about headsets these days is that they cater to a specific platform and niche. And while many people need to be informed on the limitations for some headsets that they carry, TCM Mobile takes all that away. TCM Mobile unveils a new dual band headset that can be used over GSM cellular networks when users are outside the TCM coverage and Cellular VoIP networks. The new dual band headsets from TCM Mobile will make its debut this July.

By default, dual band headsets are set to cater to GSM cellular networks by default. With these new dual band headsets from TCM Mobile it is the opposite. They use the Cellular VoIP networks by default. The same technology may soon be covering a wide area of network if negotiations push through. Just the same, TCM Mobile is deploying on a gradual basis to provide them the convenience of carrying just one device without any problems along the way.

“While our new handset is scheduled for release in two to three months, we can currently take any existing dual band handset available on the market and, together with its manufacturer, embed TCM’s revolutionary, patented software into it. This represents a significant opportunity for these manufacturers to grow sales of their own branded handsets in conjunction with the deployment of TCM’s Cellular VoIP network,” said a TCM Mobile senior executive.

It is not really surprising to note that the iPhone is one of the most used mobile gadgets in the world today. Aside from being the most popular phone preferred by consumers today, selling over 17 million phones (as reported last week) seemingly justifies this claim.

The iPhone now accounts for 50 percent of mobile Web traffic from smartphones in the U.S., according to an AdMob Mobile Metrics report released this morning. Over the past six months, the iPhone has taken share from Blackberry and Windows Mobile. In August 2008, the iPhone made up only 10 percent of mobile Web traffic from smartphones. During the same time, Blackberry’s share has gone from 32 percent to 21 percent (with the Curve and the Pearl coming in stronger than the Storm), while Windows Mobile has taken an even bigger hit, declining from 30 percent to 13 percent. Palm is also down to 7 percent from 19 percent six months ago.

The only other smartphone operating system that is showing gains in mobile Web usage is Android, which has captured a strong 5 percent share just three months after launch. And that is up from 3 percent in January. The gains shown by the iPhone and Android show what is possible when phones are built with fully capable browsers and support a rich array of Web apps.
