Following up on last month’s announcements of unlimited voice calling plans, Verizon Wireless has announced a new unlimited Email and Web for Smartphones plan. For $29.99 a month, business users will be able to tap into up to 10 email accounts hosted by a variety of services (including Yahoo, AOL, and Windows Live), along with unlimited data service for Web browsing; however, the Email and Web plan does not support picking up mail from Microsoft Exchange servers, which may dismay some of its target business customers.

“Customers using Email and Web on their Smartphones can use these tools to stay on top of news from their favorite Internet sites or remotely and seamlessly interact with friends or clients via e-mail,” said Verizon Wireless VP of marketing Robert Miller, in a statement.

Verizon Wireless is currently offering the plan on its SMT5800 and XV6800 smartphones, along with the Motorola Q9m, but plans to add support for additional smartphones in coming months. Verizon Wireless already offers an email and Web plan for BlackBerry devices.

The unlimited Web and email plan is an effort to make Verizon’s data plans more competitive with data plans from other providers; the company’s existing unlimited data plans were typically in the range of $45 per month.

The best note-taking apps for iOS and Android

I tested these apps for months so your notes never have to switch homes again.

Choosing a note-taking app is not easy. What note-taking app you choose depends on your needs, the platform you use, and of course, the cost. The process becomes even more complicated as it seems that there’s a new shiny app released every other week.

That’s why I always suggest choosing a note-taking app that has all the features you need and can last you for a long time. Also, don’t chase new apps. The real power of a note-taking app comes when all your notes live in one place, making it easy to spot connections between them.

Snapchat Planets Meaning: Order, Rankings, and How Friend Solar System Works

Snapchat Planets turns your best friends list into a solar system, and yes, your orbit says a lot

Snapchat+ includes several exclusive features, but few have generated as much curiosity as Snapchat Planets. Part of the app's Friend Solar System, it transforms your Best Friends list into a planetary ranking, assigning each of your top eight friends a planet based on how often you interact.

From Mercury, which represents your closest friend, to Neptune, which represents your eighth closest, the system offers a quick visual snapshot of your interactions. But what do the different planets actually mean, and how does Snapchat decide who gets which one?
