We’ve seen a handful of rumored release dates, and then see those dates be pushed back. Now, a new print ad leak indicates that the HTC Thunderbolt, Verizon’s first 4G LTE phone, may cost you somewhere near $300 at launch. The Thunderbolt is no chump of a phone, but 3 bills is pretty expensive for…
We’ve been saying and hoping for quite some time now that Apple’s e-mail and cloud service, MobileMe, would become free in order to compete with Google.

When we first got a look at the HP TouchPad webOS tablet we were excited but that was muted because we felt it could be released in about six months. A new report suggests that the webOS iPad competitor could be landing in stores as early as April. According to the hit-or-miss DigiTimes, the company…

T-Mobile may be unveiling an unlimited data plan this year that might be truly unlimited. Right now, the carrier throttles users who go over 5GB, difficult as…
