No AT&T iPhone Tethering Because of the Apple iPad 3G?
Is tethering ever going to arrive for AT&T and the iPhone? Rumor has it, it will be coming soon. We are a year later after there was an announcement that tethering would be coming to the iPhone. But then various parties started dragging their feet. Could AT&T handle the extra strain on their network? Was […]
That “Nagging” Voice – Getting Directions (#LoseTheLaptop)
Men refuse to ask for directions. Perhaps it is an “independence” thing or has something to do with pride. Women, on the other hand, insist on the careful organization and planning of trips, stopping and ensuring that the way is meticulously laid out. This could go as far back as the early hunter and gatherer […]

The AT&T HomeManager Consolidates your Family’s Telephony & Internet Information in one Device
There is a niche out there between the techno-savvy and technophobes. It’s a market where the members see the value in technology and gadgets but might not adopt it quickly or readily.

iPhone: Rumor – iUnlock and AppInstaller incompatible
I received a report from a reader (Nick) that he is having issues with his AppInstaller after installing iUnlock.
