Abstract: A portable tennis apparatus comprising a tennis bag, a tennis ball retrieving unit, a stretchable back bar and an extendable bottom stand. The ball retrieving unit retrieves balls on the ground directly to the bag; the stretchable back bar can be pulled up and pushed around with rolling means on the ground easily. The top opening of the bag made it easy to reach the balls for replay. The extendable stand can raise the tennis bag at a desirable level for dispensing balls so that the player does not have to bend down. The stretchable back bar and the stand can be put back to their original position during the transportation of the apparatus, such as between tennis court and player's home. The entire apparatus is light-weighted, easily carried and operated single-handed. This apparatus is truly an “all-in-one” tennis apparatus, and a revolution in the field of tennis equipment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing non-mobile data channel access to a mobile application on a mobile computing device. A request for data may be received, by a client component on the mobile computing device, from the mobile application. The client component may automatically detect that mobile data is unavailable, and may automatically select a non-mobile data channel for the mobile application to communicate to an application server. The automatic selecting may be based on availability of a non-mobile data channel and bandwidth of the available non-mobile data channel. The client component may translate the request for data into a format of the selected non-mobile data channel and transmit the translated request for data to a back-end server via the selected non-mobile data channel.
