So today I’m out running around doing last minute holiday shopping, and I hit the jackpot of a lifetime. While driving around and getting ready to turn, a little multi-colored Subaru with a big orb mounted on top passes right by me. Of course this catches my attention, and then I realize what it is — the Google Street View recording car. Oh snap!!! I absolutely MUST catch this car! ... »
Sprint is the newest carrier to join the LTE race, and respectively they have the least amount of 4G LTE cities available. They are horribly behind Verizon and also behind AT&T. Even so they continue to spread their new LTE as far and as fast as possible. Unfortunately they haven’t yet released a date for when these 9 cities go live, but as soon as we hear from our lovely followers we... »

Earlier this month, Sprint rolled out LTE network service to 15 ( well really 14) cities. Granted, most of these cities were either in Georgia or Texas, much to the northwest part of the US’ dismay, Sprint at least got the ball rolling. Now we have word that Sprint is planning on launching more cities with their new LTE capacities by this year’s Laboy day (Sept. 3rd — than... »
It’s been a couple of months now since we first mentioned ISIS, the mobile payments system that aims to compete with the ever-popular Google Wallet. According to a report from TmoNews, T-Mobile customers in select areas might just get to give the service a trial run, come the latter part of next month. While details are scarce at the moment, it looks as if an ISIS pilot program will begin on... »
Verizon is not playing around. They stated earlier in the year that they wanted to have more than 400 cities up and running with LTE technology by the beginning of 2014, and I seriously think they’re going to make it. By the end of this list that I’m about to present to you guys, Verizon will have a total of 340 LTE markets lit up. Now, compare that to AT&T’s 47 LTE markets (... »

Tickets to this great event have gone on sale today.

It looks like the Google Play Store will not be the only venue for picking up the recently-announced Nexus 7 tablet. You remember — the NVIDIA Tegra 3-toting, quad-core processor-rocking beast that was unveiled at Google I/O just a few short days ago, right? Of course, you remember. At the announcement of the device, there was much emphasis placed on the tablet’s awesome gaming abiliti... »
For all of us Verizon customers, this is definitely news we look forward to reading about and it seems to be coming to us approximately ever 2 – 3 weeks. Yes, you read that correctly. Verizon is extending its 4G LTE network into 22 new markets, and expanding their current 4G LTE service in 15 already established markets. This is definitely good news for a lot of people. Unfortunately, I live... »
Well, that sums it up, folks. Earlier today, Khaos told you guys about a slew of US release (and pre-order) dates for the Samsung Galaxy S III. At the time of that posting, the only carrier that had not officially announced the new phone was AT&T. If you’re a Ma Bell customer, you can now breathe a sigh of relief — and you even get the awesome feeling of knowing you able to get you... »
