3G Networks, Verizon and AT&T May Both Get Apple Tablet

Apple Tablet Apple is in talks to bring its rumored tablet device to the 3G networks of both Verizon and AT&T, according to reports. Since Verizon uses the wireless network standard called CDMA, and AT&T uses the GSM standard, Apple may have to produce two different versions of the device, according to a report at Fox News. Then again, a “world edition” device that runs on both network types may not be out of the question–assuming Apple’s new product will have cellular connectivity at all.

3G Network Phone : Apple tablet courted by AT&T and Verizon

Apple tablet (01-22) 09:54 PST — Apple?s rumored tablet device will be available through both Verizon and AT&T, according to a report by Foxnews. If true, that would likely mean that the new Apple device, expected to be unveiled next week, would come with 3G cellular connectivity built in, CDMA for Verizon and GSM/UMTS for AT&T.

AT&T messes with plans in wake of Verizon’s moves, slashes unlimited voice pricing

Sprint’s talking about it , but AT&T’s straight-up doing something about Verizon’s plan adjustments this morning with a series of its own tweaks this afternoon. Starting Monday, January 18 (conveniently the same day that Verizon’s changes go live), unlimited talk will run $69.99 on individual plans, a nice little cut of $30 against the $99.99 the carrier charges today; family unlimited, meanwhile, comes in at $119.99. Unlimited talk and text costs another $20 on top of unlimited talk alone — no change from the current add-on pricing.

Sprint wastes no time touting its unlimited plans over Verizon’s

Not since AT&T called an audible to offer unlimited voice the same day as Verizon have we seen this kind of hustle out of a big-four carrier — though it’s only ending in hastily-prepared PR this time around, not any material changes in calling plans. Sprint is countering Verizon’s new offerings announced this morning with a release of its own, running the numbers to find that its Everything Data plans at the 450, 700, and unlimited voice bucket levels should save users about $240 a year against Big Red, while comparing Sprint’s 1,500-minute family plan with unlimited data to Verizon’s 1,400-minute plan yields savings of about $600 annually. For better or worse, Verizon and AT&T have historically viewed themselves as “premium” nationals with justification for charging higher rates than smaller rivals Sprint and T-Mobile — but depending on where you go, what you do, and how you use the service, the cheaper guys could end up working every bit as well, if not better

AT&T’s Mark The Spot iPhone App: Help make AT&T better

It’s no surprise that AT&T has a very crappy network to say the least, and the company has lost a few battles with its arch rival Verizon over apps that made fun of it. AT&T is hoping that they can pacify the anger of their iPhone customers by releasing a new iPhone app that allows users to tell AT&T where the dark spots are in their network in real time
