About the only thing anyone talks about nowadays with regards to the iPhone 4 is not how great it is, but how it discriminates against lefties. Seriously, Apple is sticking by its guns, and it's interesting to read what they have told their AppleCare reps to use as "the message." BGR has...

We have predicted in the past that Verizon would get the iPhone in early 2011. We based this on just how "generous" AT&T was with iPhone 4 upgrades. It seems we may have been on the mark. Bloomberg is reporting that two unnamed sources (what other kind is there?) are telling...

Whether or not we consumers are holding the iPhone 4 the "wrong way," and whether or not the issue slipped by Apple testing or was known the whole time, reports are that Apple is going to quickly release iOS 4.01, with a fix. Some are calling the reactions by users "Death Grip hysteria."...

Did Apple really not know about the problems with the iPhone 4's antenna system which, particularly when the device is held with skin touching the bottom left of the steel antenna surrounding its case, can cause signal degradation and even dropped calls? It's possible, and it's possible that...

We have to admit to a mea culpa. We assumed, because past history has shown that Apple didn't want customers getting shipped devices to receive them before Apple stores, that has changed this year. In fact, not only has Apple sent emails saying that some would be receiving devices...

iPhone 4s have begun shipping. What's interesting is people still figured out the process: some folks are saying their FedEx tracking information say the devices will be delivered early, prior to the June 24th launch date for the device. Nope, sorry, stop hoping. Apple always has the shipper...

Oh, no. There are great trends, and then there are awful trends. And this one looks like it may be falling into that second category. AT&T shook the mobile broadband universe when they decided to do away with their "unlimited" (which was really a 5GB limit) data plan on all smartphones in...

Fortune's headline trumpets that "AT&T Gets Serious About Android." Are they really, though? If you look closely at the newly announced Samsung Galaxy Captivate, AT&T's latest Android device, following up on their Aria...

The news broke on Thursday that any data that flows through AT&T's MicroCells, which are their versions of femtocells and transmit voice / data over your broadband, counts against AT&T's new data caps. Everyone was all over this, screaming about another AT&T misdeed. The...

Those concerned that AT&T's servers would be hopelessly overwhelmed on Wednesday, as they were on Tuesday, when iPhone 4 pre-orders went live, need not be concerned. They are sold out, not just from AT&T, but from Apple. It had earlier been reported on Tuesday that AT&T had sold out of its allotment of the iPhone 4, Apple's latest...

AT&T admitted earlier this year that Android was on their roadmap. It's obvious that AT&T is lacking in the Android department compared to other carriers; Verizon has a number of DROID phones, Sprint has the EVO 4G, and the original Android phone launched on T-Mobile. But AT&T has...
