All users of mobile devices with Android operating system has ever entered the store of applications for this platform, the Android Market, realizing that most of these are available for free, but there are also paid versions, which can be purchased only through Google Checkout.

Certainly to be owned by Google, this approach builds trust in users, but anyway, there is always a group skeptical of this payment system, due to having to give details of the credit card. For this alternative would have been born and in which case a solution, since from Vodafone, a major mobile operators in Europe, announced it has purchased applications on the Android Market can be paid on the monthly bill collection services.

This certainly is a fantastic idea, for those who do not want to give your credit card information over the Internet, or those who are not holders of one. This option for the moment only available in the UK and Germany, but said it will expand for the rest of the continent’s countries, Spain included, progressively over the coming months.

Japan at the forefront of distance education via ‘Smartphone’.

Japan is one of the countries where new technologies are more involved in everyday life and mobile is a good example. It is the world leader in mobile phone use and the first country to become a reality the new Near Field Communication (NFC) which allows payment with mobile devices.

Staying on the cutting edge of technology, Japan is once again pioneering another important sector via mobile phone: education. School Renaissance Academy, a private institute of distance education will ensure that as many people to receive a high school education and get certified.

In Japan, the unemployment rate among students who drop out in high school is significantly above average. And even for students who get a job the average full-time employment is relatively low. The high unemployment levels and part-time employment among students who leave school put great pressure on the Japanese social welfare system.

At the same time, many Japanese students are dissatisfied with the standard and inflexible their curricula and usually suffer from lack of motivation.

According to Renaissance Academy, the desire of students to access traditional training institutes taught in Japanese is one of the lowest in the world. This is evident in that every year an increasing number of students expressed their desire to focus on study areas of interest or a possible career.

Because of this, the government is working to implement Nippon measures and help students who dropped out in high school to retake them in order to offer more opportunities to enter the workforce.

Renaissance Academy has plans and specialized training for students who aspire to play a profession and a second chance to those who left school or higher levels of truancy.

Through collaboration with Qualcomm Wireless Reach, students can benefit from being able to access the study material regardless of location. All thanks, how it could be otherwise, to smart phones.

“In the near future, smart phones and digital textbooks are likely to become commonplace, as are a perfect and effective tools for teaching students with different abilities, skills, aspirations and lifestyles,” says president of Renaissance Academy Incorporated, Takayoshi Memoir.
