Verizon To Have the Gtablet?

Verizon lost out on the iPhone, and as the sales of it has skyrocketed, so has AT&T’s wireless business.  Now, even if Verizon ever gets the iPhone on their network, it might just be a case of too little, too late.  Besides, Verizon has other smartphone choices at this point, notably the Droid Incredible, which [...]

AT&T Shuffles Netbook Offerings

Living in the suburbs, I can totally see why users could need a mobile data plan.  There are plenty of places where there is no WiFi, and folks need want to be connected.  The cellphone carriers are happy to oblige, but they offer a netbook at a slightly reduced price, and then sign you up [...]

As we had heard in the rumors, Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs unveiled their upcoming Snapdragon powered smartbook. Of course, there is not yet a full set of details, so this will be a story that still gets another update, or two, or three. Anyway, what we can tell you so far is that the smartbook will [...]

Nokia Booklet 3G Release Date Spied

The Nokia Booklet 3G is at once a well designed piece of hardware, and oh so overpriced. In other words, many want it, but aren’t willing to pay the price of admission. Over at Nokia Mobile Blog, they spotted a Best Buy Rewards Zone ad that clues us into the pricing and the [...]

Sprint gets official with their subsidized Dell Mini 10 netbook offer

We had heard the rumors, so this news comes with little surprise — Sprint has officially begun offering a subsidized Inspiron Mini 10 netbook. Unfortunately, as Jonas already mentioned the price is not all that great of a deal. The netbook, which more specifically is the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 will set you back “$199.99 with [...]

Sony VAIO P Coming To Verizon

There is no shortage of carrier deals where you get the netbook at a subsidized price, along with a two year contract for the data plan.  While Verizon already has netbook offerings, they are expected to add the Sony VAIO P to their lineup. Apparently, the Sony VAIO P starts at a “are you freakin’ crazy” [...]

Sprint Dell Mini 10

I’ve not been a fan of these carrier subsidized netbook deals, as they don’t offer enough subsidy for the length and expense of the contract in my mind.  Many are hoping that the price of the plans goes down, and hopefully it will next year.  In the meantime, Sprint is expected to introduce a new [...]

Rumor: 3G equipped netbooks may be headed to Sprint

The latest in the netbook rumor mill is suggesting that 3G equipped netbooks may be available with Sprint in the not-to-distant future. The tip comes courtesy of TechVi, who were notified by Mr. or Mrs. Anonymous. That said, this tipster does seem to have a decent track record, just in case that helps any. With that, [...]

B&N eBook Nook

While an eBook reader is not quite a netbook, the latest from Barnes & Noble, the Nook, looks to be an intriguing product. After Amazon beat them to the online presence once, I think that B&N didn’t want to miss out on the next evolution of books again. While Amazon has their Kindle, [...]

Gateway LT2016u Gets Reviewed

I have generally found any of the netbooks that are subsidized by the carriers to be rather overpriced, and underwhelming.  For the $60 a month they charge for the data plan, across a 24 month commitment, these things should be free, with a rebate, and I’d still feel they were getting the better end of [...]
