AT&T 4G LTE Crawls Its Way To Three New Cities

Fri, 18 May 2012 07:15:02 IST

While Verizon is busy setting the U.S. ablaze with 4G LTE, AT&T continues their embarrassingly slow rollout. In a less than exciting announcement, AT&T has informed us that three new cities have been blessed with their 4G LTE network. Those of you living in the following cities will now have access to faster speeds thanks to good ol’ AT&T: New Orleans, LA Baton Rouge, LA Naples, FL If you don’t live in the above cities, you might as well grab a movie or two thousand, because it may be a while before you see LTE in your town. I think that brings the total number of AT&T 4G LTE markets to something like 38? Come on AT&T, you have to do better than that. Well, I guess it’s better than no 4G LTE — isn’t that right Sprint?

Liquidware debuts Amber, a customizable Android development tablet

Fri, 18 May 2012 07:15:02 IST

It's likely overkill for those interested only in some basic tablet modding, but the folks from Liquidware (no strangers to the DIY scene) have a new bit of kit that should please those looking to take on a more ambitious project. Dubbed simply Amber, the kit is described as "80 percent of the way to a tablet" -- you'll get a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, a 7-inch capacitive display and a customized version of Android 2.3, but no pesky casing to get in the way of any other additions you see fit to add. That convenience comes at a bit of a cost, though. The Amber will set you back anywhere from $983 to $1,674 depending on the kit you choose. Head on past the break for a quick look at it on video.Continue reading Liquidware debuts Amber, a customizable Android development tabletLiquidware debuts Amber, a customizable Android development tablet originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 18 May 2012 02:07:00 EDT.

No Annual Contract “passes” for T-Mobile hotspots and tablets starting May 20

Fri, 18 May 2012 07:15:02 IST

T-Mobile has just announced a new plan that should certainly get some data hungry power users through their magenta doorway. Starting May 20, mobile hotspot, tablet and laptop stick users will be able to purchase a data “pass” ranging from $15 to $50 a month without the hassle or stress of a 2 year contract. This is a great strategy to get new customers to try out their 4G (HSPA+) and hopefully get them to keep the service for a long while. The pricing for each pass is not bad at all for what you’re getting and should definitely turn a few heads later this month when T-Mobile makes them available. Check out the full presser below for more details.

Diablo 3 (PC) Review By Canadian Online Gamers

Fri, 18 May 2012 07:15:02 IST

Canadian Online Gamers - "Stay a while and listen! Classic words every fan of the Diablo franchise has heard. It has been 12-years Diablo 3 has been in the making. If you have played through the other two Diablo games or if this is your first go with the dungeon crawler that revolutionized the gaming industry you will be in for a treat. My first go around with the franchise started when I first fired up Diablo 2. I logged endless hours slaying monsters, exploring dungeons, killing the three Prime Evils and of course the infamous Cow level dont kill the cow king ahh the memories. It feels like only yesterday I was running around with my Amazon slaughtering all that stood before me and collecting the riches that followed. Come with me as I lunge back into the world of Sanctuary to see what Diablo 3 has in store."

Best Buy Updates Pre-Order Status Of HTC Evo 4G LTE To May 23rd

Fri, 18 May 2012 07:15:02 IST

The HTC Evo 4G LTE is currently stuck in U.S. Customs (thanks, Apple), delaying the May 18th launch on Sprint. Customers who pre-ordered from Best Buy are now receiving emails updating them of their order status, stating a new release date of May 23rd. Interestingly, HTC wasn’t as date specific as Best Buy in their statement: HTC is working closely with U.S. Customs to secure approval for shipments of the HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE. We have not made any announcements about a new launch date and will provide an update on availability as soon as we can do so confidently. Best Buy setting a May 23rd date does not guarantee a release on that day. Until the phones are released from U.S. Customs no one can be sure of when the phones will make it stateside. source: the verge
