While rumors of a possible Verizon-compatible iPhone in 2010 persist, one analyst has predicted that Apple will instead bring the iPhone to another GSM-based carrier in the U.S.: T-Mobile. In a note to investors released this week, Doug Reid of Thomas Weisel Partners said his firm believes that T-Mobile, and not Verizon, will be the beneficiary when Apple's exclusive agreement with AT&T expires next year... AT&T's exclusive contract with Apple for the iPhone is due to expire in 2010... While the iPhone in its current iteration is compatible with T-Mobile's network, it is not capable of connecting to its high-speed...

The leftists are marketing "Credo Mobile" against AT&T and Verizon. Their advertisement asserts that AT&T and Verizon "support politicians opposed to real healthcare reform, like a single-payer system or public option" and that they "fund anti-environment politicians". Who knew? If that's true, support AT&T and Verizon!AlterNet's promotional e-mail tells its followers to "Join the mobile phone company that's fighting for a robust public option in healthcare reform-and hasn't given a cent to Joe Lieberman."

Original in German; here's a Babelfish translation: T-mobile had today a country wide loss in the portable radio net. Speaking and SMS services were concerned. The cause of the today's disturbance in the portable radio enterprise of T-mobile is recognized. Reason was a software fault in the so-called Home location register (HLR). The HLR is responsible to make a connection between portable radio station and the associated portable radio number. After putting the system back the first parts of the net are again available since approx. 19:00 clock. That can lead isolated to an overload in the net. We assume...

The solution to the world's pirate problem may be made in Mobile. The dramatic showdown between the U.S. Navy and a group of Somalian pirates ended badly for the buccaneers, but military experts say it also demonstrated that the Navy is ill-equipped to deal with a growing threat to global commerce. That's chiefly because the Navy lacks the sort of fast, flexible vessel that can chase pirates where they roam, the so-called "green" waters within 100 or so miles of shore. Enter Austal USA's littoral combat ship, a swift, agile and lethal vessel that may be a pirate's worst nightmare....

Remember way back in the dark days of Bushitler 2 when the president wanted to wiretap calls going out of the country and maybe listen in on those suspected of being up to nefarious things? Remember all the squawking and hollering from the left? Yeah, me too. Here's what Obama wants: The new administration has already sided with the old on the legality of warrantless wiretapping, and is now saying that it shouldn't need a warrant to demand location records from mobile phone providers. This certainly seems like the sort of private info that, under the 4th Amendment, would require...

(MOBILE, Ala.) Jan.26 - Mobile police sources tell NBC 15 News they've arrested a man believed to be a domestic terrorist. The investigation began January 5, when a local synagogue was spray painted with Nazi markings. Mobile Police are not making an official comment yet, but sources within the department say they got a very dangerous man off the streets, just in time.

Everyone who buys a mobile telephone will be forced to register their identity on a national database under government plans to extend massively the powers of state surveillance. Phone buyers would have to present a passport or other official form of identification at the point of purchase. Privacy campaigners fear it marks the latest government move to create a surveillance society.

A study of more than 13,000 children in Denmark claims to show a link between use of handheld telephones by pregnant women and problems such as hyperactivity in their children. The risks are increased if the child then uses a mobile themselves before the age of seven, according to the report to be published in the journal Epidemiology. The study raises renewed questions...
