AT&T Unity

19Jan07

AT&T, comprised of AT&T and Bellsouth which includes Cingular Wireless, has created the largest calling community ever with their new AT&T Unity Plan.   The plan comes just three weeks after AT&T bought Bellsouth Corporation.

“AT&T Unity customers can call or receive calls for free from any AT&T wireless and wireline phone numbers nationwide without incurring additional wireline usage fees or using their wireless Anytime minutes*. In addition to free domestic calling to and from AT&T numbers, the AT&T Unity plan includes wireless service with unlimited nights and weekend minutes, and a package of Anytime Minutes.” [Source:  ATT.com Press]

 The plan will be available starting Sunday Jan. 21, 2007.  For more information visit www.att.com/unity.


iPhone

18Jan07

If you haven’t heard by now that Apple introduced the iPhone yesterday, then you’ve been living in a cave. I watched a segment last night on one of the cable news channels that had analysts arguing their different opinions on Apple and their decision to partner with Cingular. One analyst in particular was completely clueless about the wireless industry. He stated “facts” that anyone who works in a telecom field would find false. Where do they get these “experts?” Don’t believe everything you hear!

I suppose it really does pay to download music legally. Well in this case it did… Apple awarded their grand prize for the One Billionth song purchased and downloaded from the iTunes music store to Alex Ostrovsky from West Bloomfield, Michigan. Congrats for being honest Alex!


Have mobile wi-fi box, will travel. The concept of having mobile wireless internet is not new but with this gadget it could redefine the way you choose to pay for internet services. The Mobile Wi-Fi boxes, which are made by a few different companies at this time, require a wireless data card from a cellular provider. Granted if your laptop already has a wireless card port you won’t need the box, but there are some notebooks that don’t have this capability…enter the Mobile Wi-Fi Box. Now first off it won’t really be that fast unless it’s a wireless company that’s already deployed UMTS or HSPDA (EDGE is pretty decent but it’s not the stuff that high speed dreams are made of). How about getting rid of that cable modem or DSL and hooking the box up to your desktop PC? Change is inevitable.


Stik & Stor

22Feb06

Coming soon…Up to 8GB of external storage for your mobile phones. With the new wave of phones that are resource hogs, US Modular has recognized the need for extra memory and has delivered the Stik&Stor. The small external storage cell comes with syncing software and is compatible with phones that have Micro SD or T-Flash ports.



Could it be true that the PDA maker is being bought? Apple, HP, Dell, and RIM are a few of the companies rumored to be potential buyers.
