Now that the ITU considers HSPA+ “4G”, T-Mobile is pushing ahead even harder with their HSPA+ network and accompanying devices. While we already have the Web Rocket 2.0 HSPA+ USB Data stick, one thing that has been missing so far in T-Mobile’s big marketing push is a speedy HSPA+ MiFi router piggybacking on said network allowing not only you, but several other devices to enjoy the speedy network as well. Thanks to the leaked document above, it appears...
With as much as carriers claim to be here “for the people” and embracing all kinds of new, innovative technologies, they sure do a lot to hamper progress. Take for example the rather disappointing revelation that the upcoming Galaxy Tab will be limited to WiFI-only calls over Skype when used on Verizon’s network. Such a move is rather AT&T-like, usually signaling a desperate attempt to keep an already weak network from crashing to its knees. But...
Last week we touched on the iSpot — a simple, WiFi/4G shotspot device for portable Apple devices.

Video of the riveting action inside… Video Jailbreaking iPad using Nexusone at local Bestbuy Store Aug 4th 2010...
Take a gander at your gadget wishlist and check to see if this is on there: the iSpot, a mobile 4G hotspot for Apple mobile devices only. It’s $29 (normally $100) and uses MAC filtering to prohibit any other non-Apple device from connecting and surfin’ the 4G revolution. Why?
