For those who think that doing good things has no reward are about to be proven wrong by Boost Mobile’s new plan.

The Monthly Unlimited with Shrinkage plan, and it reduces the usual $50 monthly charge to low as $35 by making payments on time.

The plan works by reducing the monthly charge by $5 after six on-time payments. So the first month would be $50, the sixth month would be $45, and so forth until the minimum of $35 is reached. Those with the BlackBerry plan start out at $60 a month until they get to the minimum of $45. If customers do end up missing a monthly payment date, they don’t have to start over from the maximum amount–they just pay their current rate until it drops to the next level. There is no penalty for missing a month. Customers can sign up for this new plan starting October 14.

The no-contract plan includes unlimited voice, text, web, e-mail, instant messaging, and 411 calls. Also reduced is the price of Boost Mobile’s International Connect feature, and it is $5 a month for unlimited calling to landlines in Mexico, Canada, the Dominican Republic, and some Asian-Pacific countries, as well as international text messaging.

Having completely missed the Game Boy era of Nintendo, I don’t really remember when the Game Boy had a printer.

Some of you might still have the old printer from the Game Boy, and, if you still want to print off images on 3.8 cm wide thermal paper, you can get this cord that attaches to the PC via USB to whatever the Game Boy Printer takes as a connector.

It will cost about $17, and available at Furrtek.org.

The other day, we discussed the LG Optimus with WiFi calling.

I have just learned that there may be more Wi-Fi bundling coming to Android phones here in the near future. This may include the T-Mobile G2, when last I heard.

So, is this a shift away from cell phone calling to only VoIP? Why not? If every phone has Wi-Fi, though.

We just can’t stop hearing about the BlackBerry Tablet from RIM. The company isn’t really talking about it. Heck, we don’t even know its name. It could be Blackpad, or worse, Surf Book.

Fortunately, there is some news. As of next week, the company will formally announce this tablet at RIM DevCon.

Until then, if you want to read more about it, we have some details here and here.
