Droid Charge and HTC Thunderbolt users on Verizon get free mobile hotspot until June 15
Verizon’s 4G LTE is the hotness right now, but it’s not without issues.

AT&T updating older Android phones to support sideloading apps
It seems like only yesterday that AT&T Android customers were outraged that they were limited to apps available only in the Android Market, or straight from AT&T.

AT&T promised T-Mobile $6 billion if acquisition doesn’t get approved
AT&T would give T-Mobile $6 billion in cash, assets and services if its proposed acquisition doesn’t go through. Yesterday we reported on a U.S. Senate hearing and it seemed like legislators were still unconvinced of the upsides of the deal. AT&T was even asked why it couldn’t just spend the $39 billion it planned to…
