Just as more and more 3G enabled mobiles have been making their way to States, out comes Shanghai with their big, bad 4G network. According to the China Daily, Shanghai ran the world's first 4G trial yesterday. So what does 4G tech bring to the table?
Well, aside from faster speeds and better data services, it has the potential...
to bring high definition broadcasting to your mobile. So instead of getting rear ended on the highway for talking on the phone, you'll get rear ended by someone who was watching HDTV on their phone. The trial cost Shanghai around $19 million US and Samsung has already said it could deliver 4G mobiles by the year 2010.

There's no place I'd rather see HD content than on my 2.5" cell phone screen.
They say you can see the pores on their faces! Of course, this only works if the cellphone-screen your using is bigger than the size of one of your pores.
Who cares?! We already know HD = no porn... And no porn excludes the entire male gender. They might as well make all the phones pink and give them away in boxes of tampons.
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind a little faster tethering... So I could access torrents and porn that is.
4G's??? That makes this 2 whole G's ahead of the iPhone... aww crap.
