Where were you when AT&T first promised that tethering would be available on the iPhone? It seems like eons ago now. Take heart, though, because a tethering option has been spotted in the beta version of the new iPhone operating system that’s set to reach consumers sometime next month.
Now before you get too excited, a similar …
The story goes something like this. Back in 2007, USA Today published an article that said, “AT&T has exclusive U.S. distribution rights for five years” concerning the iPhone. That information proved to be difficult to officially verify and since the first iPhone hit the market, it seems that we’ve been hearing rumor after rumor …
AT&T has just announced that the Palm Pre Plus will be hitting store shelves on May 16. The price tag is a bit high considering Verizon is offering the Pre Plus for $50, but AT&T is giving away free Touchstone charger kits for a limited time (in stores only). No word on when the Pixi Plus will find its way onto AT&T.
Sorry to dash your hopes, Verizon customers, but you probably won’t be getting the iPhone this year. Why? Well, according to Brian Marshall, an analyst at BroadPoint AmTech, AT&T finagled a new deal (only for six extra months) with Apple by cutting data plans for in half to lock in the iPad. But Marshall doesn’t necessarily have the …
The newly-available 3G iPad is nearly identical to the standard iPad except for a $130 price premium and the ability to connect to AT&T’s cellular data network. Monthly plans range from $15 for 250 megabytes of data to $30 for unlimited data with no long-term contract. So is the 3G iPad worth the extra $130 and, if so, which data plan …
AT&T and Apple really threw everyone for a loop in January when they announced that the 3G iPad would be sporting a micro SIM rather than your standard SIM card that’s been around for quite some time. My own brother was wondering if he could somehow fashion the micro SIM so that it would fit into the normal SIM card slot on an iPhone, …
The annual BlackBerry hoopla known as WES kicks off today in Orlando and with it comes two new hardware announcements. Say hello to the Bold 9650 and Pearl 3G.
The Pearl 3G has actually been lurking around since Q4 of 2009 and it’s about as exciting as you’d expect. The revamped hardware falls in line with the general aesthetic …
When Google’s mobile operating system Android launched in 2008 you could only get one device and it remained that way for some time. That’s definitely not the case in 2010 with all major US carriers snatching up Android devices left and right. Here’s a rather lengthy but concise guide on every Android device that’s currently available or …
Shopping for a cell phone service plan presents a dizzying array of options, add-ons, and pricing structures. Here’s a look at several plans from the four major cell carriers. We’ll take a look at the cheapest personal voice plan, cheapest personal voice and texting plan, cheapest personal everything plan, and a couple of family …
As expected, AT&T has just announced the upcoming availability of the Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus for $149.99 and $49.99, respectively. Also tucked into the announcement was the mention of Dell’s first Android-based device in the US, the Aero. No word on price for the Aero or availability dates for any of the announced …
Well that was entirely unexpected. Looks like Google is now offering the Nexus One to AT&T and Rogers customers. Anyone biting?
This is rather interesting but not at all surprising.
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson doesn’t expect to see a spike in traffic from the iPad on his crippled network because the device is a “Wi-Fi driven product.”
He makes a valid point about consumers not wanting to tack on an additional subscription though. I mean, who …
