  • iPhone 3G SIM unlock gets real - Hardware SIM unlock to ship for iPhone 3G

    AT&T might have the exclusive rights to hock iPhones, specifically iPhone 3Gs, in the US, but that doesn’t mean the iPhone 3G has to be tied down a specific carrier (although, to be fair, AT&T is arguably the best GSM carrier in the US). iPhone 3G customers looking to use their new toy on GSM [...]

  • The Motorola Z9's amazing, exciting accessories in the wild

    Filed under: Motorola , ATT , Accessories Probably not worth rushing out to a store for, but some AT&T retail locations are starting to receive stock of the upcoming Motorola Z9's incredible batch of accessories.

  • AT&T may not have the LG Vu yet, but it has Vu accessories

    Filed under: LG , ATT , Accessories We're still waiting on the Vu to make its grand entrance on account of legal and technical woes , or so we hear. We guess we can hold ourselves over for a bit by staring at those two simple letters on the packaging for this lovely mono earbud, though, and deciding to ourselves whether we prefer the "voo" or "view" pronunciation. Please hurry, AT&T. We beg you. [Thanks, anonymous tipster] Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Apple patent app details 'accessory detector' for mobile handset

    Filed under: Handsets , Peripherals , ATT , GSM , EDGE , Apple , OS X Just days after hearing that Steve Jobs was indeed looking into the possibility of letting third party applications play nice with his precious iPhone , along comes a suitable patent application that further proves his hesitance to let it happen. Jobs didn't shy away from suggesting that non-native apps aren't usually cellphone-friendly, and a new filing from Cupertino's lair details an "accessory detector" that would "detect whether an external accessory coupled to the connector may interfere with wireless communication with the handheld device." Of course, no direct mention of the iPhone is given, but it sounds like this here invention would alert the user via on-screen messages and flurries of frightening noises if the inserted / installed accessory did not match up with an internally stored "list" of okayed devices. Additionally, the handset would be able to adjust itself on the fly if the add-on did indeed "interfere" with operations, and while no verbiage mentioned any kinds of shut downs or undercover dial-ups to Apple HQ for unauthorized use, there's always the possibility that this type of scrutiny could lead to an easier implementation of a " Made for iPhone " type royalty program.
