- T-Mobile USA And HTC Have Sold 1 Million G1 Android Phones
Posted By Eric Zeman
The HTC G1 has passed an important milestone in the U.S. T-Mobile's recently released quarterly report shows that one million of the devices have been sold to customers in the U.S.

- AT&T Hates On The Palm Pre, And Apparently Has A Short-Term Memory
Posted By Eric Zeman
AT&T sent around a memo that extols the iPhone and bashes the Palm Pre. This type of document has surfaced in the past, and will surely show up again. The idea is to give sales associates arguments to use in favor of an AT&T phone rather than a competing model. Palm's Pre was sure to see this type of treatment at some point, and here it is.

- Facebook 1.5 For BlackBerries Goes Live
Posted By Eric Zeman
If you're an avid Facebook user and are accessing it from your BlackBerry, there's good news from Research In Motion. The latest version of the application was made available today, and it includes a host of key new features.

- Cellular Network Cards Miss Market Opportunity
Posted By Ed Hansberry
Sprint has released their new 2-in-1 Aircard 402. The card works in both a PCMCIA II slot or the newer ExpressCard slot. For someone that may have multiple laptops to work with, this may be very handy. As I look at my netbook though, an Acer Aspire One, maybe not so much.

- 'Born To Go Fast', Bluetooth SIG Formally Adopts 3.0+HS Specification
Posted By Eric Zeman

- Is AT&T Having A Fire Sale On iPhones?
Posted By Eric Zeman
AT&T recently dropped the price of refurbished 3G iPhones to the meager sum of $150. The price drop, along with a bevy of new features being uncovered in iPhone OS 3.0, have fueled speculation that AT&T is clearing out stock to make room for the next-generation iPhone.

- Windows Mobile 6.5 May Launch Not Likely
Posted By Ed Hansberry
Last week, there was a ton of news that Windows Mobile 6.5 would launch May 11. This came from an announcement on the Windows Mobile blog. It seems though that the word "launch" wasn't the right word, and there won't be a May 2009 launch for the anxiously awaited mobile platform.
