Verizon Extends Mobile Hotspot Promo For 4G LTE Smartphones To July 6
Remember that free mobile hotspot promotion Verizon Wireless had going for the HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Droid Charge and the LG Revolution? Looks like the big red carrier has decided to make the fun last a little longer. We had expected the promo to end today, but for the second time, Verizon’s decided to let the hotspot love flow freely. On July 6, however, all three handsets will get an update which is supposed to get rid of the mobile hotspot. After that, there’s no telling what the ...

Sprint To Bump Upload Speeds On Their WiMax Network Up By 50%
Good news, Sprinters! Sprintees? Sprintums? Guh. I never know what to call Sprint customers. Anyway, you guys are in for a little treat: the upload speeds on your 4G WiMax network? They’re about to get about 50% faster. There is, of course, a little catch. The catch: upload speeds on Sprint’s WiMax network are currently capped at 1 Mbps… which means that, once the new speeds are in place, you’ll still only be cruising along at 1.5 megabits per second. It’s a bit paltry compared to some ...

eyeSight Plans To Bring A Touch-Free Experience To iOS
When the touchscreen first appeared, I felt like I had been launched into the future, until they started showing up everywhere. Now that touchscreens are pretty much the norm, the next logical step would be the no-touch screen, which is basically what eyeSight Mobile Technologies is looking to do. The same folks that developed Touch Free Interfaces have now added the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4 to its list of supported devices. Android , Windows, Meego, and Linux are already supported by eyeSight’s Hand Gesture Recognition ...

Samsung Galaxy S 4G (Refurb) Hits T-Mo’s Prepaid Site With $350 Price Tag
On a scale from one to ten, how excited do you think we were to see the Samsung Galaxy S 4G (Refurb) go live on T-Mobile’s prepaid site? If you guessed somewhere around a six or a seven, good job! If you guessed eleven, you don’t quite understand how scales work. While the Galaxy S 4G isn’t exactly a brand new piece of kit (it’s a few months old at this point, and likely to be replaced by the Galaxy S II before too long), we still ...

PSA: Get Everything Off Your Old T-Mobile Sidekick By June 30th, Or It’s Gone
As we found out a few months back , all of the old T-Mobile/Danger Sidekicks out there are headed for greener pastures early next week. Come May 31st, the ol’ Danger data servers will given a belly rub, one last defrag, then will be unceremoniously taken out back and shot. Here’s something we didn’t know, though: if you’ve still got any important photos, contacts, calendars, or notes on that Sidekick floating around in your sock drawer, you’ll want to get them off your device by May 31st. ...

MasterCard Study: Youngsters Will Be The Catalyst Of Mobile Payment Adoption
NFC payments have already become somewhat of the norm over in Japan, but here in the States, near field communication technology hasn’t quite taken off yet. However, that’s not to say that U.S. Americans aren’t ready to use their cell phone as a wallet, as shown by a study conducted by MasterCard. MasterCard ’s survey found that younger generations, specifically those between 18-34, are most at ease with the idea of phone transactions. In that younger age bracket, 65 percent of 18-34 year-olds feel more naked without ...

Sprint’s Network Is Back On Track After Last Night’s SMS, Voice Issues
Apparently, Sprint’s network was down for the count last night, as people from different regions of the country experienced difficulty sending MMS and SMS messages. Some even had trouble getting voice calls to go through. According to Sprint , the Washington, DC area also had a voice disruption last night, which was unrelated to the SMS issues. No worries, though. Sprint has already resolved the matter in the wee hours of last night, so Sprint subscribers should have full service this morning. Here is Sprint’s response to ...

Apple Files Text-To-Speech/Speech-To-Text Patent For Phone Calls
You’re out at a restaurant, and your phone rings. You don’t want to be that chump blabbing to himself into a headset — but if you take the call outside, your risotto is going to get cold. You’re knee deep in the middle of a first world problem, friend — what’s your move? Apple , it seems, feels your pain. The tech giant recently filed a patent application for a text-to-speech/speech-to-text converter. This system should be a step above most current text-to-speech converters that employ an web-based ...

T-Mobile Plans To Shake Up Family Plan Offerings?
According to this leaked snap of an internal T-Mobile document, it looks like AT&T’s betrothed will be switching up its Family Plans on May 22. The picture leaves a few questions unanswered, but this should at least give you an idea of what T-Mobile may be offering in the near future. The original 3,000, 1,500, and 750 minute plans should become a thing of the past, to be replaced by 1,000, 2,000, and unlimited minutes plans. For talk and text on two lines, the carrier will charge ...
