Why is this limited to only smartphones and tablets? Seems very narrow. So any dumb phone that has geolocation ability (which I think is every phone since the FCC requires it for 911) can send your location to anyone they want without asking for …

The patent was granted in July 2001, not July 2011.

Looks like it's easier to track Vikram Ajjampur using Google. He might consider restricting his Facebook account so everyone can't see his friends and everything.

I prefer ATT's faster data speed but the dropped calls are annoying. If nobody complains about it they'll never fix it.

I'm a new customer to ATT. The past month I've had 3 or 4 dropped calls. I was in a strong signal area and was not moving so I'm thinking it's either high traffic on a cell tower or some software or protocol glitch with their equipment. I've also…

Thanks soli for the release date info. Regarding that, if I were a professional developer, I would release it at the beginning of the week so as to not get calls on the weekend when problems develop. Management has their own ideas and would be the o…

As a note, if you bought a new TC when the old one failed (for example you didn't want to be without Internet access for a few days or weeks while it was repaired), you're out of luck on getting a refund. If you still have the old one, you can ge…

There's been a lot of bad information put out. Attenuation has been called interference. Transmit power levels called receive levels. From the video, it looks like what was tested was the iPhone transmit power as received by their simulator. As f…

I think there is wireless competition, but suspect that it is muted by government regulation. I wonder if the FCC thinks more regulation is the solution.

I wonder when the first lawsuit will be filled. They'll probably argue that Apple will have to let everyone use these ARM designs with no fees.

For the labor pendulum to swing back to the US somewhat, US labor cost will need to stop rising or decline somewhat. Perhaps in the US there might be company provided housing and healthcare in exchange for low pay. Maybe from all of this the worl…
