Helio Connect is a new app for all prepaid Helio phones that puts MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr under one roof and throws in an RSS reader for good measure. Very suiting for Helio’s style, but in the same breath, Virgin Mobile USA announced a new Mobile Lounge initiative, which connects Virgin customers through social networking services like chat, blogs, photo albums and even rewards for participating. You can check out the goods from the VirginXL storefront on Shuttle, TNT!, Arc, Slash, Flare, LG Aloha, UT Starcom Super Slice, Marbl, Cyclops, Switch_Back, Slider Sonic, Snapper, Flasher V7, and K10 Royale models.

Simon Sage
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
