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 slip in ship and delivery date only affects some models of the iPad, and [...]
We’ve already got a good look at a device that very well could be the next member of the Droid Incredible family, a device thought to be called the HTC Droid Incredible 4G. We also have a lead on a possible release date for the device and it appears that that intelligence is and was [...]
Earlier today, regional carrier C-Spire announced that it would be rolling out its $60 million 4G LTE network in various locations in the state of Mississippi come September. It didn’t, however, announce any sort of devices that would be accompany the carrier entry into the world of 4G LTE. However, we can think of at [...]
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 [...]
Along with the Droid Fighter, another upcoming and unannounced handset that was spotted that we had previously little knowledge of is the LG Cayman, a device that’s rumored to be launched as Verizon’s LG Lucid 4G. The phone has recently been pictured in some press photos, which were obtained from pocketnow, along with some additional [...]
While many people are trying to figure out if they should buy Apple’s new iPad, most GottaBeMobile staffers have already pre-ordered Apple’s shiny new iOS tablet. We see hundreds of new gadgets every year at industry events, but it’s a rare for so many of us to actually buy any particular device. Apple’s new 3rd [...]
The iPad 3rd generation models are the first Apple products compatible with Verizon and AT&T’s 4G LTE networks. This is a serious upgrade from the iPad 2′s mobile wireless feature since 4G LTE offers speeds that are several times faster than 3G and many wired Internet connections. But which carrier should you choose? (Read: New iPad Speed [...]
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. Then there’s the constant and many attempts to get onto the Apple Store and pre-order a New iPad, if you want to. That’s always a crap shoot in the early [...]
While Apple didn’t live stream the new iPad event that took place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco today, the company has, as expected, posted the full video online for the world to see. So that means that if you want to, you can watch the conference in its entirety, [...]
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 [...]
We’re just a few minutes away from Apple’s iPad event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco and 9to5Mac is reporting that international 4G LTE iPad 3/iPad HD have begun showing up in Apple’s inventory system which could mean that 4G LTE enabled versions of the new iPad should be headed [...]
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 [...]
In just a few hours Apple will announce the new iPad. The iPad 3, or iPad HD as it may be called has no confirmed features, but new reports give credibility to the rumors fo a 4G LTE iPad that we have heard for months. Today, we have a new leak that may give insight into Apple’s [...]
Things are not looking good for me and other Verizon customers wanting to get their hands on a Windows Phone. It doesn’t seem like it will be happening any time soon. I didn’t really think I would have to pay up on my “Windows Phone Tattoo Bet” that I put out there shortly before MWC, [...]
In a movie that just might top Google’s re-branding the Android Market as the Google Play Store on the surprise scale, Verizon has released a list of devices that are currently slated to get upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Again, a major carrier based in the United States has released a full list [...]
Yesterday, we heard that Apple’s next iPad, which may be called the iPad 3 or iPad HD, will have a 4G LTE radio on board. And now, another report, courtesy of Reuters, claims that Apple will indeed introduce a new iPad equipped with 4G LTE and that Apple is hoping it will tempt customers to [...]
In a recent filing to the FCC, Verizon executive director of network strategy Bill Stone expects that without gaining additional spectrum, the nation’s largest wireless carrier may hit capacitive limits on its 4G LTE network bandwidth in some areas by as early as 2013. The filing comes as Verizon is ready to close on a [...]
One of the biggest rumors surrounding the iPad 3 is the 4G LTE radio that will supposedly have on board when it arrives. Well, iMore, the same place that correctly reported the date of this week’s iPad event is now saying that the same source has confirmed that the new iPad will indeed have 4G [...]
You may have heard. Apple will be hosting an iPad event this Wednesday, set to take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, an event where the company is likely going to be announcing a device that will likely be called the iPad 3, iPad HD or iPad 2S. And [...]
Towards the end of 2011, Motorola and Verizon finally started upgrading the Motorola Xoom with 4G LTE capabilities. The wait was long and arduous but it finally happened. Now, Verizon has given the 4G LTE upgrade process and end date. If you head over to the Xoom upgrade page on Verizon’s website, you’ll notice that [...]
A few weeks ago, we saw a mysterious HTC device leak out, a device that was running Android 4.0 with a Droid Incredible style design. We have also heard that Verizon might offer both white and black 16GB models of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Well, it appears that Verizon may be prepping to launch both [...]
Earlier this month, I wrote about how HTC ThunderBolt owners deserved some answers in regards to the Android 4.0 update. Sure enough, a few weeks later (I’m not taking credit, mind you), HTC announced that the first 4G LTE device on Verizon would indeed be getting the upgrade to Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich [...]
The iPad 2 sold more tablets in the last 90 days of 2011 than all Android tablets currently activated by Google. There are a number of reasons that the iPad has won over consumers, but one of the biggest reasons has been the lack of any contract. The iPad has never come with a contract, [...]
Carriers still haven’t figured out a way to let families and businesses share mobile data the same way they share voice minutes and SMS messages. That doesn’t mean they aren’t working on it though. Verizon is still trying to make such plans work, and it aims to have them out by the middle of 2012. [...]
If you have been in the market for a new 4G LTE smartphone from Verizon, February 29th might just be the day that you want to make your purchase. In honor of Leap Day, the carrier is hosting a one day sale on all of its 4G LTE devices including the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, HTC [...]
Verizon’s 4G LTE network is being used by an incredibly small number of early adopters, but the number of Verizon 4G LTE users is poised to grow dramatically in 2012. According to The Wall Street Journal, only 5% of Verizon customers are using 4G LTE. Based on the last report of subscribers, that’s 4.4 million [...]
Samsung’s other, other 7-inch Honeycomb tablet, the Galaxy Tab 7.7, will be available through Verizon Wireless starting later this week on March 1. The slim 7-incher will cost $499 with a two year contract (yes, with) for Verizon’s 4G LTE service. Before you plotz from sticker shock, keep in mind that the Tab 7.7 is [...]

If you’re a loyal Verizon customer, you’ll be happy to know that the carrier is sending out emails informing those who have upgrades in the not-so-distant future that they are eligible to snag three phones for free.

A couple of days ago, we learned that Samsung might finally be launching a landscape dock with 3-pin connector, dubbed the Pogo Desktop Dock, for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.

At the beginning of January, Verizon confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 7.7 would be heading to its 4G LTE network in the future. That’s right, it failed to offer up any sort of concrete information on a release date or pricing. Still hasn’t. PhoneArena though has managed to snag an internal document that seems [...]
It’s not out of the question for Samsung and Verizon Wireless to bring the GNote to the Now Network. Samsung has a habit of releasing major phones across multiple carriers with little or no difference between models. And I admit, I want this to happen. Badly.
Motorola Droid X owners may have thought that Verizon had forgotten about them. Not the case at all. Today, the carrier has begun rolling out a massive bug fix update for its aging 3G smartphone that will be bring a number of fixes and enhancements along with it. Exciting stuff, especially when you consider the [...]

Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop. Thus, it had several full-size ports, a rugged-ish exterior, and a thick chassis to accommodate both. Though a decent tablet, the Thrive didn’t generate [...]
Samsung Shows That It Is a Software Company
As exciting as it has been to talk, postulate, and speculate about the Galaxy S III’s hardware and specs before the third-generation Galaxy flagship smartphone was announced on May 3rd in London, once the device was announced one thing became apparent: Samsung is now a software company. That doesn’t mean that Samsung is shying away [...]

The story though, just serves [...]

The Griffin GuitarConnect Pro interfaces with your Guitar and your iPad or iPhone so you can record your music easily using apps like Apple’s GarageBand.
