The rumors have panned out. HTC’s first 10.1-inch tablet, which also happens to be AT&T’s first 4G LTE/HSPA+ tablet, will arrive in company-owned retails stores starting September 4. The HTC Jetstream runs Android 3.1 Honeycomb and packs a dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor. HTC Scribe support is also confirmed so be prepared to doodle with the optional digital pen.
Other highlights to the HTC Jetstream include 1080p playback and capture, Adobe Flash Player, HTC Sense UX for tablets, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing and 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with dual LED flash, microSD card slot and a massive 7,300 mAh battery. Dimensions-wise the Jetstream is 7-inches long, 9.87 inches wide and .51 inches deep, and weighs 25 ounes.
Apple will deliver the iPhone 5 with support for both CDMA and GSM networks according to a new report which revives rumours of a world phone in the works. Techcrunch claims to have got hold of app logs which show an unidentified device running iOS 5 and sporting the network codes for both Verizon and AT&T.
Building a global iPhone 5 would be big news for US Apple fans who currently have to choose between AT&T and struggling when travelling abroad with the Verizon iPhone. A dual-mode iPhone 5 would allow the device to roam between networks effortlessly and allow Apple to stop producing two slightly different models. Verizon’s CFO seemed to reveal that an iPhone 5 world phone was on the way back in April but hopefully we’ll find out for sure at a September iPhone launch.

The consensus now seems to be that we’re certain to see the iPhone 5 launch in September. Chatter from the Far East last week suggested that iPhone 5 shipments are already on their way. Now an anonymous email, apparently from an AT&T employee, claims staff at the US carrier are banned from taking holiday at the end of September.
Read on to see what the self-proclaimed AT&T mole has to say and what that could mean for UK iPhone fans…
Queue the Karate Kid closing credits because here comes the best, around. At&t, thanks in part to HTC’s master craftsmanship, will land two Android powerhouses very soon to make good on the its promise of 12 Android devices in 2011. The HTC Holiday and HTC Lead are two names worth getting acquainted with — let’s see what these beasts are packing under the hood.
The smartphone the size of a credit card and no thicker than a deck of cards will be coming to At&t this month on May 15. By way of a press release this afternoon, the HP Veer 4G was confirmed as an exclusive for At&t customers in the U.S. along with two color choices: black and white.

The days of Google playing the role of a passive moderator to app submissions to the Android Market is coming to a close. Following the removal of many virus infected apps earlier this year, the search giant has made its second bold leap, by removing apps which provide ‘free’ tethering. Is this a sign of Google playing a more active role, possibly even curating future Market submissions?
The baddest Android handset on the planet, formally know as the Motorola Atrix, looks to be making an official debut in the US on At&t March 1st. According to a leaked memo obtained by AndroidCentral, the Tegra 2 dual-core super phone could be in At&t users’ hands in less than two months time.
