- Apple's iPad To Nickel And Dime Customers
Posted By Eric Zeman
Apple is ruthless with its product pricing. It charges the maximum price it can get for a given product...and still leaves out essential ingredients, forcing customers to buy over-priced accessories. The iPad is no different.

- Will The iPad Bring AT&T To Its Knees?
Posted By Eric Zeman
One of the more surprising elements of Apple's iPad launch event was news that the company is sticking with its long-time wireless network partner, AT&T. Was that the right move? Can AT&T handle the iPad in addition to the iPhone?

- Verizon Thinks BlackBerry Users Don't Consume Enough Music
Posted By Eric Zeman
This morning Verizon Wireless announced a new music-focused service specifically for BlackBerry users. Despite offering 1,000 songs on a microSD card, the service is clearly meant to coax BlackBerry users to download more music from Verizon's V CAST Music Store.

- Apple Posts iPad Launch Videos Online
Posted By Eric Zeman
In case you missed Fritz Nelson's liveblog of the Apple iPad announcement, Apple has provided the full Stevenote in video form on its Web site. It is also offering people a more in-depth look at the iPad.

- AT&T Settles Early Termination Fee Suit
Posted By Ed Hansberry
AT&T settled a class action lawsuit yesterday for $18 million in New Jersey. If you paid an early termination fee to AT&T Wireless or any of its predecessors between January 1, 1998 and today, you may be eligible for a piece of the settlement.

- Live Blog From Apple's iPad Launch
Posted By Fritz Nelson
Being one of the lucky few to have scored a press pass into Apple's highly secretive launch event today, I will be live blogging the announcement with text and photos as it happens. So, starting at around 11:30 AM ET, be sure to refresh this blog entry (and refresh often) as I frantically attempt to bring you all there is to know about Apple's tablet (or whatever it is) in real time.

- What Apple Didn't Announce: iPhone OS 4.0
Posted By Eric Zeman
Today's iPad launch event was just that -- all about the iPad. Despite the belief by many credible sources that Apple would also preview iPhone OS 4.0, the new operating software for the iPhone failed to show up.
