  • Ladies and gentlemen, Apple would like to “talk iPhone” on October 4th. All we can really say is what they’ve all said “it’s about time.” Apple has been a bit slow with the iPhone 4S/5/What ever, lets hope this is because they are actually going to pac some game changing features into this iteration of phone(s). We of course will see iOS 5, which is certainly going to be a nice feature boost to the slightly stale iOS, but we all now what we want to see, that hardware. We will have our breakdown of all the news as it becomes available. Also if Apple provides a live stream, we...

  • This probably doesn’t come as a surprise for me, including myself, but from recent news we’ve heard (aka a post on Engadget), some LTE equipment is being installed at Apple Stores, by AT&T. This comes after yesterday’s BGR find — where they found a property list file that has to do with LTE devices on iOS 5.  The equipment at the AT&T store supports the 700MHz and AWS bands,  bothof which are planning to be used by AT&T — if they get T-Mobile. Engadget was also told that the Apple store(s) in question are also trying to increase the number of floor salesman by 30%, for the apparent rush the everyone...

  • Things are beginning to lighten up in the merger world, specifically for those two communication companies, AT&T and T-Mobile. The TIA is made up of some of the larger names in the tech industry such as Apple, Nokia, Intel, and Microsoft. TIA’s President Grant Seiffert said the following about the merger: “Combining the infrastructure and resources of AT&T and T-Mobile would help create a reliable, high-speed mobile broadband network and encourage a virtuous cycle of investment and innovation in America’s business sector, meet growing consumer demand for these services, and address the looming spectrum crisis. The potential benefits of the merger should be given substantial weight in the FCC’s review...

  • Here we go again, sadly. The FCC has come out today and announced in a statement that Wireless Bureau chief Rick Kaplan plans to stop the 180 day review time on AT&T’s proposed purchase of Qualcomm’s 700MHz spectrum. This doesn’t mean the end of the deal, but this does have a great deal to do with the planned merger, as it “overlaps” some of AT&T’s plans. Qualcomm’s VP of Government Affairs, Dean Brenner reached out to Engadget with an official statement: “The FCC should approve the pending AT&T-Qualcomm spectrum sale now because of the clear benefits to the public from the sale that stand on their own and are totally unrelated to...

  • Not much is known quite yet, but one thing is: Apple’s manufactures have been slipping lately (and over the last few years), and if this is the final design for the next-gen iPhone, it certainly wouldn’t surprise us. Gizchina.com has slipped a few photos in the direction of the internet recently, and the new design matches up pretty well with what we’ve been seeing as the iPhone 5 case. While we won’t be suggesting that this is definitely the final design, it certainly does look quite a bit like final hardware. One thing I must note is that, looking at the above image, looking closely, you can almost make out...

  • Bad news for any pro-AT&T users like myself, or AT&T themselves, the Chair of the US Senate’s Anti-trust Subcommittee (Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis.)  is seeking to block the AT&T  - T-Mobile merger. He had this to say: ”I have concluded that this acquisition, if permitted to proceed, would likely cause substantial harm to competition and consumers, would be contrary to antitrust law and not in the public interest, and therefore should be blocked by your agencies.” Top Democrats of the house also agreed, stating the following: “We believe that AT&T’s acquisition of T-Mobile would be a troubling backward step in federal public policy–a retrenchment from nearly two decades of promoting competition and...

  • So far, Apple has been having a hell of a time in the courthouse, and I might say, this is a good thing for them. However, this is bad for HTC, clearly. The ITC has ruled that 2 of the 10 patents Apple accused HTC of infringing on in Apple’s favor; in other words, HTC was found guilty. If everything plays well for Apple, we can expect particular devices manufactured by the Taiwanese company to be banned from reaching US shores. Good for Apple favoritism, bad for those who love HTC. HTC general counsel Grace Lei responded back quickly with the following statement: “HTC will vigorously fight these two remaining patents through an appeal...

  • iMessage is a clear competitor to Blackberry’s famous BBM service they launched a while back. And while this service is pretty awesome for Blackberry owners, the number of these owners is steadily decreasing, due mostly in part to the increasingly better features found on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7. At WWDC this last Monday, Scott Forstall and Greg Joswiak showed off Apple’s new competitor to the service: iMessage. iMessage is more than just a messaging service between iPhones; it’s a way to keep in touch with anybody using a device with iOS 5 built-on. The most interesting part of the service is probably the speed. You’ll know things like when a person begins...

  • The WWDC keynote has come and gone – and boy has it left us with our jaws open. While other people on this site will be covering other parts of the keynote, I will be talking about iOS 5, and the major overhauls that entail it. From the new notification system, to the deep iCloud and Twitter integration, iOS has really started to grow up even more. Let’s get a closer look. Deeper integration with Twitter: No longer does iOS make you open the application to use the application’s features (at least for Twitter), the new integration of the said app allows the OS to make better use of Twitter, from...
