Back in November, a curious application called iTether snuck into the App Store and allowed iOS devices owners full USB tethering without requiring them to switch their data plans or sign up for an official tethering plan.

According to SemiAccurate, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has halted production of the 28 nm chip and production apparently won’t resume until the end of this month.

Way back in January, Nokia announced a phone called the Lumia 900, a 4G LTE handset that is destined for AT&T’s 4G LTE network.

In the U.S., ship dates for customers who pre-order the new iPad have begun to slip, with select models now showing a March 19 ship date, rather than the March 16 ship date that was promised if customers had pre-ordered sooner.

The debate for most 4G-hopeful iPad owners in the U.S. will be which network to choose between AT&T and Verizon Wireless, and that’s a valid concern and my colleague K.T. Bradford had detailed many considerations to make when choosing your LTE iPad. For me, though, AT&T’s network may offer users more flexibility and the reason [...]
The iPad 3rd generation models are the first Apple products compatible with Verizon and AT&T’s 4G LTE networks.

But which carrier should you choose? (Read: New iPad Speed [...]
If you have an AT&T iPhone 4S, Apple just gave you a huge update today, a 4G iPhone. When you upgrade to iOS 5.1 on your AT&T iPhone 4S you’ll see a 4G icon in the upper left when you are in the new HSPA+ coverage areas. This update doesn’t magically add a 4G radio [...]
Oh, my. First there’s the waiting and the sorting through the rumors. Then there’s the sorting out about what Apple really means in its announcement.

The iPad 2 is now priced at just $399, which is quite a steal if you don’t need the latest and greatest technology. The new iPad looks great, but the iPad 2 will suit many users just fine. Apple will also sell a 16GB 3G model for $529. Both prices put it in a better [...]
Apple has announced its brand new iPad at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco and as was rumored prior to launch, the tablet will be coming with 4G LTE support for a number of carriers including AT&T and Verizon in the United States and Rogers, Telus and Bell in Canada. In [...]

Hours before Apple is set to announce the new iPad and tell us when the iPad 3 release date is so we can run out and buy one. AT&T joined in announcing that they have an “exciting new” product on the way. If this sounds familiar, it’s because Verizon teased that “Something is Coming” just yesterday, asking users [...]
With AT&T leaking the HTC Titan II release date not too long ago, apparently it’s time to clear the stock out. The HTC Titan is now on sale on AT&T’s website for 1 cent! The HTC Titan is really a great piece of hardware. I have really enjoyed using it on and off for the [...]

Last year, when the iPad 2 came out, AT&T allowed customers with the unlimited data plan offered for the iPad 1 (but discontinued before the iPad 2 launch) to keep using that plan with the new tablet, much as they’ve done with iPhone and other smartphone customers.

Following T-Mobile‘s move to re-purpose 2G GSM spectrum, it looks like rival carrier AT&T will be doing the same as bandwidth constraints will become an issue with 4G LTE deployment and consumers using more data than before thanks to more Internet-connected services, cloud storage solutions, and faster mobile broadband spurring increased content consumption on capable [...]

After having created an uproar by eliminating the unlimited data plans just days before launching the iPhone 4, AT&T is seemingly continuing its vendetta against unlimited iPhone data plan subscribers who had been grandfathered in before the carrier switched over to tiered data plans. Most recently, the ‘rethink possible’ carrier had created an outraged community [...]
