Deal alert y’all. You can get the brand new Motorola Photon 4G on Sprint for a value-rific $99 from Radio Shack with a new, two-year contract. It doesn’t look like there are many strings with rebates that never come or debit cards, as you can order it online for about $100 when you sign up…
We already know that AT&T will deploy 4G LTE later this year but the company said it will have at least one 4G LTE smartphone by the end of the year. AT&T senior VP Peter Ritcher told Mobiledia that the company will have a hotspot, laptop card and a handset that can support this faster…

The Federal Trade Commission will be taking a hard look at how Google controls Android in its antitrust investigation, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal.
