Thanks to the endless list of applications that can be placed on Apple's I-Phone, to has now become a ubiquitous gadget these days. it, however, pulled out three of its applications. One is NetShare, "an app that turns the iPhone into a wireless modem", after it became apparent that it was competing with one of Apple's affiliated companies, AT&T. There was also the BoxOffice, an application which provides I-Phone users with movie tickets and listings. The most recent application to be pulled out, however, was the 999 I am Rich, which was intended to be a joke. A Forbes article, reported that such pullout could be a silver lining for another telecommunications giant, Nokia, to expand its services in the United States. The reason why it is being vetted to get a larger cut in the smart phone market is because it "has made it easy to download all sorts of applications for its smart phones". But whatever happens, the rivalry between networking companies is sure to be a contentious one especially as technology promises to develop further in the near future.
