RE: Fastest wireless in SLC?

I have gotten 4Mb just from my office.  Somebody I know with a 4S phone got 5Mb from the Salt Lake Community College, where I only got 3Mb with my iPhone 4 from the same location.  His phone showed a “4G” network even though his phone is not technically 4G.  Until recently I could only get about .5Mb.   - John Coffey

1^st Verizon – 8 Mb

2^nd T-Mobile – 5.281 Mb

I ordered a refurbished iPad 2 from Apple for $349.

Apple waited till a couple of hours after the iPad 3 announcement to drop the price on the iPad 2.

The most amazing fake iPad 3 you’ll ever see

25 Billion Apps downloaded.

Apple - iTunes - 25 Billion App Countdown

http://www.apple.com/itunes/25-billion-app-countdown/

Been watching the counter for awhile. It just went from 24,966
million to 24,905 million when I did a refresh of my web browser.
This tells me two things: The website counter is not real time and
occasionally they update it to bring it in align with reality.

RE: Rumor: iPad 3 to Cost $70-$80 More Than iPad 2

I saw 2 tablets last night that look interesting.   One is the Blackberry Playbook with a new O.S. that appears to be a fully loaded 7 inch tablet.  It was around $199 and so was another 7 inch android tablet that I looked at.

 

Having looked at many tablet options last night, it is easy to see that Apple has a ton of competition.  I see Apple losing market share.

 

It is time that Kindle Fire got a SW upgrade.

Apparently the Blackberry Playbook is 1 up on the Kindle Fire

If true, then I think that this is going to bomb big time.  $500 is bad enough for a tablet.  If the iPad2 is not discounted to around $350, then I am going to take another look at the Nook or the Kindle.

 

 

Bottom Line - T-Mobile left hanging after AT&T, subscribers abandon it

http://bottomline.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/23/10488726-t-mobile-left-hanging-after-att-subscribers-abandon-it

I am hoping for a discounted iPad 2.

When they announce the iPad 3 March 7.

Prediction:

iPad 3 - $399

iPad 2 - $299

Maybe this is just wishful thinking on my part. Actual prices could be
$50-100 higher.

Fox News’ Shepard Smith rants on AT&T “unlimited” plans – Android and Me

AT&T throttles iPhone unlimited data plans.

From: Witmer, Robert

 

I was talking with Marty M.  He said since the beginning of the new year or in the last few weeks the throughput here in the office has gone up considerably.  He is getting 1 Mbit and 1 Mbit up sitting at his desk on his iPad.  He ran the test in my cubicle also.  They must of activated a new tower nearby recently.  I can barely get 33 kbits on T-Mobile sitting at my desk unless I go outside, then I get comparable to what he is getting.  But for 99% of stuff I’m too lazy to walk outside just so I can download something that’s big.  Which is probably a good thing for not getting distracted.

… maybe a reason to switch to Sprint.
