Following AT&T’s report of only 146,000 iPhone activations in the last 30 hours of the fiscal quarter, Apple has announced their iPhone sales numbers over the same period.

AT&T gives the sleek Pantech C150 some low-end love
Low-end mobile phones aren’t really our thing. Not that they don’t have their place in this world, it’s just that they tend to have disappointing specs and less-than-cool styling. But, it looks like Pantech and AT&T are out to change our minds with the new Pantech C150 low-end cameraphone. This thing is as sleek and…

AT&T goes nationwide with Video Share service
Following AT&T’s limited initial launch of their Video Share service, the company has gone national with the one-way video-calling feature. The service is still limited, but only insofar as the video stream is one-way and both parties need to have 3G coverage (as well as 3G-enabled handsets). Both ends can view the video stream, but…
Apple iPhone hacked – in the bad way!
The iPhone has finally succumbed to the hacking efforts of Independent Security Evaluators – but not in the good way that would leave us with an unlocked iPhone. We wish we could kick off the new week with news that the iPhone’s GSM radio has finally been cracked to work on non-AT&T networks. Instead we’re…
