Several rumors in the past few weeks lead us to believe that the next generation iPhone will be available on Verizon from September this year.

According to TheTechUpdate, Apple might launch the next generation iPhone on Sprint in June this summer. According to their source, who claims to be an employee at Best Buy, the shelf display of the device could begin “within a week or two.” The source More >

Android Superphone – HTC Evo 4G Has Lackluster Battery
1May 21, 2010
The new Android superphone’s (the HTC EVO 4G) kryptonite was finally discovered – it’s battery. According to Walt Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal:
“…when using 4G, the EVO’s battery runs down alarmingly fast. In my tests, it didn’t last through a full day with 4G turned on. The carrier, in fact, is thinking of advising users to turn off the 4G network access when they don’t think they need it, to save battery life. This undercuts the whole idea of faster cellular speeds.”
We haven’t heard much about the new iPhone having any battery issues, but let’s see how things pan out. You can More >

0
AT&T recently changed its story on its 3.5G / 3.75G strategy prior to rolling out LTE seemingly countless times in the past couple years, but the good news is that the new policy shift is decidedly a positive one: it intends to cover about 250 million Americans in speedy HSPA+ by the end of 2010. The remarks came from AT&T OperationsCEO John Stankey at a Reuters event, going on to say that the company intends to “double” its theoretical 7.2 Mbps maximum on HSPA. It’s almost certain that this move is in response to the aggressive moves into 21 Mbps made by T-Mobile, not to mention commercial More >
