The AT&T Mark the Spot iPhone app which launched this week seems like a good idea until you actually use it. As I’ve discovered it fails to function in two key moments … When there is no data available regardless of gsm signal strength and again when you have no coverage.
As these two moments are [...]

Calling all mobile device manufacturer’s, carriers and anyone else who wants to play!
This is your chance to prove just how reliable your high end devices are!  I’m tired of seeing low battery warnings on my mobile devices before the end of a business day and am looking to you to prove me wrong — that [...]

It was impossible to tell from the AT&T site whether the device was locked so I picked up the [...]

I believe I’d previously covered the announced rollout of Cablevision’s metro wifi network and it seems to have actually gone live now. I see it along my Metro North commute as we pass through the various stations and while I have not had a chance to test the connection speed it feels quite peppy. [...]

Oliver Starr rocking some sweet news via Blognation!!
