The second major Honeycomb tablet, the T-Mobile G-Slate by LG has just hit the FCC, and its about darn time. OK, fine, maybe it hasn’t been that long, but this is certainly good news for Magenta customers hoping for an Android Honeycomb tablet of their own. The LG G-Slate is one of the two Honeycomb…
We didn’t catch the Huawei Ideos X5 at CES earlier this month, but that doesn’t make us any less excited about it. Possibly the highest-end devices we’ve seen coming from Huawei, the X5 and X6 run stock Android 2.2, which is (unfortunately) becoming more and more of a novelty these days. The X6 stopped by…
Oh Samsung, what are you doing now? With none of the Galaxy S variants in the US updated to Android 2.2 Froyo OS just yet, we’re seeing another Android device popping up at the FCC. This time around, the model number is the GT-i9023, and from the looks of it, it’s very similar to the…
Acer Liquid Mini (or that’s Liquidmini, we’re not sure) has cleared the FCC all with the 3G bands compatible with AT&T’s network. That fact, however, doesn’t mean the carrier will add it to its growing portfolio of Android smartphones – it only means that Acer did its homework and is now ready to start selling…
In a news item that won’t excite many, we talk about the low-end Nokia 1616 as it’s heading to T-Mobile USA. We don’t have this 100% confirmed but we do understand Engadget’s logic (which thinks between the same lines). So if everything goes as planned, the device that has just cleared the FCC will end-up…
Today the FCC discussed the future of the open internet, and how service providers will be able to control access and speed of access to particular sites, services, and apps – policies collectively referred to as “net neutrality.” Google and Verizon have a vested interest in wireless internet, and together defended it as separate from…
If you’re an AT&T customer looking forward to try out a Windows Phone 7 device, Dell Venue Pro is not on your list. The problem is/was obvious – it was designed to sing along T-Mobile’s 3G network and there are no ways to use it on AT&T bands (at least to get 3G speeds). No…
The Federal Communications Commission is set to auction off 16 licenses for the 700 MHz spectrum in 2011 but the move isn’t expected to be as relevant as the last one. The FCC expects to raise at least $1.42 million from the auction, which is minor earning compared to the more than $19 billion that…
The FCC has been busy at work approving wireless handsets, and the Pantech P8000 has made it through just fine. The smartphone is a candybar style handset with a camera on back. Not terribly shocking, I know, but it seems that it may also be an Android handset compatible with AT&T 3G frequencies. Like most…
The Federal Communications Commission has just released a report about the U.S. broadband market and it found that an astounding 68% of these offerings don’t even meet governmental agency’s description of what “broadband” is. Could 4G networks help solve this problem? In an 87-page report, the FCC said more than 2/3 of the services labeled…
