All the whining, suing, and petitioning from the likes of Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Frontline have prompted FCC Chairman Kevin Martin to take action . The recently approved open-access rules (for which we applauded the FCC) are now the target of revision by Martin. As you’ll remember, the 22Mhz block of the 700Mhz frequency spectrum…
Au Infobars – the ergonomically sexy candybar phone
Now these are some attractive mobile phones. Not only are they ergonomically designed (kind of like a used bar of soap), they look pretty damn cool. The Au Infobars are only available in Japan and were designed by Naoto Fukasawa. The Au Infobars look fairy simple and they probably don’t pack an enormous feature-set, but…
FCC outs HTC Pheobus
Bluetooth SIG leaks are nice and all, but what we really love are the leaks coming out of the FCC – we usually get way more information, and even pictures. The newest device to get outed by the US-regulatory-body is the HTC “Pheobus.” We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – we love…

Does anyone use AOL anymore?
Seriously. Remember when AOL was “the way” to get on the new-fangled “internet?” Aside from AOL Instant Messenger, we can’t think of anyone in our huge group of friends that still actually uses the AOL web portal. They’ve been losing ground to, well, just about everyone that offers web access. So, what can AOL do…
