by George Heymann

After several rumors and a couple of false starts the ~~January, February, early March~~, WP7 “Nodo” pre-update has started rolling out to the T-Mobile HTC HD7. No word yet on when we will see the actual update for the Phone. Microsoft has botched these updates for WP7 to the point that I can no longer recommend the platform to readers.

Roku XD/S Good things still come in small packages!

by George Heymann

techeadlines@gmail.com

I want to share my first impressions of my recently purchased Roku XD/S HD streaming video player. There is a lot to like about this very affordable sub $100 set-top box. The first thing you’ll notice about the Roku is its diminutive size. The unit measures a mere 1 inch tall by less than 5 inches wide and is very light weight.

Blue + Magenta = Green; AT&T to buy T-Mobile USA for 39 Billion

by George Heymann

techeadlines@gmail.com

AT&T buys T-Mobile USA for a reported $39 billion. If approved by government regulators, the deal would make AT&T the largest U.S. carrier.

In hindsight, the acquisition makes a lot of sense for AT&T as AT&T and T-Mobile both use complimentary GSM technology and are building out their HSPA+ networks. In addition, AT&T is planning to use T-Mobile’s existing 1700 MHZ spectrum to supplement its ongoing 4G LTE build out.

After T-Mobile quelled speculation of a rumored Sprint Merger, the company inked a deal with AT&T for $25 billion in cash and $14 billion in stock, giving T-Mobile’s parent company Deutsche Telekom an approximately 8 percent stake in AT&T. The transaction is expected to close within 12 months.

Press Release after the break.
