Samsung Hits Back

What Apple and Samsung are doing to each other is stupid.

Samsung makes good on threat of patent suit against iPhone 5
adding the iPhone 5 to a list of devices that includes the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, and the new iPad that Samsung accuses of infringing on several Samsung patents. .... the eight patents in question include six utility patents and two standard essential patents unrelated to its LTE patent portfolio

The AirTime I got to know was a video chat site where the video simply did not work. I tried a few times and gave up. This has not been a failure of the idea.

FreedomPop offers free mobile broadband
The folks at FreedomPop are also doing some interesting things to get you more free data, as users can watch ads or refer friends to get more free data per month. We haven't tried it out yet but reports suggest FreedomPop will offer download speeds of 4 to 6Mbps down and 1 to 2Mbps up.....companies like FreedomPop, Ting and Republic Wireless are all reselling Sprint's services with some relatively radical business models.
That and a $99 tablet from Google and you have a free phone that is seven inches. No?

Or 2GB for $18 a month also sounds reasonable.

This is Republic Wireless' sibling.

This is just awesome. Power to the masses.

$99 Is A Great Price Point

$99 Is A Great Price Point


If you can make and receive phone calls over this, this replaces the smartphone. No? And you can. No? If it has a speaker and a microphone. If you have a Google Voice number.

Google and Asus rumored to be working on $99 Nexus Tablet
Could you be able to score a $99 Google Nexus tablet for Christmas this year? ..... both new tabs would hit the market by the end of the year in an effort to defend against the anticipated iPad Mini.
