Verizon has finally put the nail in the coffin. Customers upgrading to LTE smartphones with grandfathered unlimited data will be forced to switch to a new tiered data plan after Verizon begins offering its shared tiered data plans this summer. Even though this isn’t exactly a surprising move by any means, this leaves Sprint as […]
Been eagerly awaiting the HTC One X or the EVO 4G LTE? You may need to wait a bit longer, because The Verge first broke the news that U.S. Customs weren’t allowing shipments of the two HTC flagship devices enter the US. The reason? A patent suit from Apple, alleging that HTC infringed on their […]
It’s been a month since the popular news reader app Read It Later was rebuilt and rebranded as Pocket. The app is also now free with the change, so if you’ve been staying away from Read It Later because of the $2.99 price tag, now’s your chance. I’ve been using it for a few weeks […]
