HP’s teeny tiny webOS powered Veer smartphone is going to ship pretty soon if the rumors we heard a few weeks back hold true. According to the gossip that’s been floating around on the internet the Veer will launch with AT&T on May 2nd. When new devices are announced an explosion of marketing campaigns typically…
Last month, we learned that AT&T was sending messages to users who were tethering their devices using MyWi, an application that can allow the iPhone to be used as a mobile hotspot when the device is jailbroken, advising them to stop or adjust their data plans.
