Samsung Galaxy S clears FCC with AT&T bands
It’s not much of a surprise but the Federal Communications Commission has cleared the awesome Samsung Galaxy S and it will be capable of using AT&T’s 3G network.

FCC Approves MyTouch Slide en Route to T-Mobile
We heard that there was a version of T-Mobile’s myTouch coming that would have a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Also known as the HTC Espresso, this beaut will include a 1300 mAh battery, 3G, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Toshiba K01 clears the FCC
Toshiba’s Windows Mobile-powered QWERTY touchscreen-slider, K01, has cleared the FCC, giving us hope we’ll see it released sooner rather than later. The K01 is probably one of the most desirable WinMo devices announced to date. The trick is the fact that it combines a large 4.1-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen alongside a full side-sliding QWERTY keyboard.…

The FCC has just published a scan of the 6 page document (seriously, the American government rocks my socks!) that they’re going to give to Congress in hopes that they’ll meet their demands. Within the first two paragraphs you can tell the FCC really cares about broadband, and are going so far as to call…
