In case you haven’t heard, AT&T has announced they will buy T-Mobile from Deutsche Telekom for $39 billion. This deal would make AT&T the largest wireless carrier in the United States.

Sprint shall soon be adding $10/month to users of 3G smart phones. They already did that for the 4G phones and I didn’t care that much as I don’t have a 4G phone. In fact it’s one of the reasons I didn’t go out and snag a Samsung Epic. The phone looks cool as hell [...]

There have been talks recently of Palm being on the brink of disaster. Sales have dropped drastically (more than 70%…egads!) and they’re burning through cash like there’s no tomorrow. Those two things alone are enough to cause panic in any conversation. However, we need to take some things into consideration before jumping to any conclusions. [...]

So it’s official, Walmart and Sam’s Club will be selling the Apple iPhone. Yes, I know I’m a little late to the game but maybe some of you haven’t heard the news yet. So here I am…keeping my readers informed. Anyway, a few days ago it was confirmed that select Walmart and Sam’s Club stores [...]

And there you have it…Apple’s iPhone has just overtaken Palm for the number two spot in business for smartphone penetration. We already knew the iPhone was taking the consumer market by storm, but this jump to number two in the enterprise is big news for the people up there in Cupertino. Palm is making it [...]
