CES 2012: AT&T talks about LTE and Cloud Computing solutions
AT&T used its Developers Summit at CES to lay out the advantages of its LTE network and how that’ll help developers. In a comment directed at Verizon, the carrier points out it’s the only one with 4G speeds on both its HSPA+ and LTE networks. AT&T rolled out HSPA+ in 2010 as a stopgap measure while it rolls out its 4G. This configuration gives the iPhone 4S three times faster download speeds than other carrier networks (like Verizon Wireless which runs on EV-DO). The carrier is working on its network and made 150,000 … Read more

CES 2012: AT&T rolls out platform APIs for developers
At the AT&T Developer Summit co-located, the carrier probably made a lot of developers happy by rolling out multiple platform APIs which could lead to more powerful apps which are easier to write across all the platforms. Basically, this gives app makers deeper hooks into the network and its capabilities. The APIs include payments, U-Verse, SMS and MMS, location, device capability and mHealth hooks. AT&T took great pains to make sure that these platform APIs work well with HTML5, which could make it easier for developers to create apps that … Read more

iPhone 4S top-selling phone on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint
A report from Canaccord Genuity concludes that the Apple iPhone 4S was the top-selling phone on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint in November. Raise your hand if you’re surprised. No hands? I thought so. Yes, the iPhone is topping carriers’ sales charts once again. “IPhone 4S sales strength continues as distribution increases – Our November checks indicated iPhone sales remained strong in the US, particularly at AT&T and Sprint. Further, our checks indicated strong global share gains,” Michael Walkley of Canaccord Genuity writes. “With the iPhone 4S launching in new markets … Read more

AT&T lights up 4G LTE in 11 new markets
We knew this was coming but AT&T has expanded its super-fast 4G LTE network to 11 new markets including major cities like New York and San Francisco. The new markets also include Austin, Chapel Hill, Los Angeles, Oakland, Orlando, Phoenix, Raleigh, San Diego, and San Jose. This now brings AT&T’s 4G LTE network to 26 markets and it covers more than 76 million people. While that’s still a much smaller footprint than the 4G LTE network of Verizon, AT&T is touting its own mobile data network as potentially faster. We’ve … Read more

HTC Radiant, one of the Windows Phone devices AT&T will unveil at the CES next week, has been leaked and voila – you can see it from the image above. At first glance it looks like the HTC Titan, though there are some changes included, most notably 4G LTE support. Moreover, there are some minor design changes on the outside such as a fairly larger HTC logo, slightly bigger front-facing camera lens, while dual-LED flash has been moved to the right side of the camera.

Image: Samsung Galaxy Note with AT&T logo
Not exactly news but we decided to share this nonetheless (plus it’s a slow news day). We know the Samsung Galaxy Note is heading to AT&T and will most likely be unveiled at the CES in Las Vegas. Today we have the first press image to show you which as far as I can tell looks pretty legit. Heck, even if this isn’t the official press shot made by Samsung, AT&T’s device will look like that, boasting both Samsung’s and AT&T’s logos. So once again I ask – are you … Read more

Is Verizon’s LTE network more problem-filled than AT&T’s?
In the past, AT&T Wireless CEO Ralph de la Vega said its LTE handsets will perform better than Verizon’s because of the way Verizon deployed its LTE network. His theory sounded reasonable, but I was skeptical as I know how CEO’s like to talk up their technology and put down their competitors. According to an interesting article on LTE from ExtremeTech’s Neal Gompa, de la Vega’s claims may be more than idle words. Gompa’s article is primarily about LTE, but he talks about Verizon’s LTE deployment and some of the … Read more
