In a rather long-winded story published by the WSJ tonight this week, a handful of new facts have been revealed about Apple’s purported iSlate/iTablet/iPad. You know, the one that’s supposed to be announced next Wednesday in San Francisco. I’ll save you the trouble of reading the whole thing because we’ve mostly covered it all on …
Wow. This just in from CES:
AT&T just announced its very first Android phone, as well as its plan for five new phones, a massive upgrade of its 3G network, and a plan to offer mobile apps to non-smartphone users.

Starting December 7, AT&T will begin selling LG’s 1GHz eXpo smartphone, which is a first in the US. It even comes with an optional pico projector accessory that piggybacks the device adding a svelte 1.8 ounces. It’s a Windows Mobile 6.5 device with a 3.2-inch touch-screen, slide out QWERTY keyboard, 5-megapixel camera and support for …
Want an iPhone 3GS for $49? AT&T is now offering white 16GB iPhone 3GS refurbs for as low as $49, which includes free overnight shipping and no activation fee. Better hurry.

Well, we’re here to tell you that folks close to the inner workings of the deal have told us that the iPhone will, in fact, be coming to Verizon in June of 2010. Things …
