Sure, Ralph de la Vega was chatty at yesterday’s AT&T luncheon during CTIA, but with the scattered reports you’ve probably seen, it’s hard to keep tabs on it all. On the topic of Android — the Google OS which the company had been reluctant to make a definitive ruling on — de la Vega seemed to soften up to the possibility. According to the exec, meetings with the search giant have reassured him that carriers will be able to equip handsets with their own applications, not just Google’s tools. “That’s attractive to us.

Built to take advantage of Sprint’s Push-to-talk over cellular technology or PTT, here comes a duo of new phones, the Sanyo Pro-200 and Sanyo Pro-700. Both are going to have a clamshell form factor, and offer standard cellphone features such as text messaging, mobile email and Bluetooth connectivity. And while both phones support Qualcomm’s QChat technology, Group Connect, and remote contact information management via the Sprint Mobile Sync online tool, there are still a few little differences that distinguish these phones from each other. For example, the Sanyo Pro-200 will be slimmer than its sibling and coated in silver, available for only $49.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and 2-year service agreement.

Posted Apr 3rd 2008 1:26AM by Ryan BlockFiled under: cellphonesAt AT&T’s press feast today, the focus was unquestionably the trial deployment of Microsoft’s Surface kiosks to stores later this month — the presence of Microsoft’s own Robbie Bach was testament to that fact. But there was more to the action by the time the show was over. Deployment of 3G and 4G services was a hot topic both during CEO Ralph de la Vega’s presentation and in the post-conference Q&A (one member of the press lamented the fact that AT&T’s BlackBerrys still lack HSDPA), and at one point he mentioned that all of the carrier’s smartphones would be 3G within a matter of mere “months.”We figure that instantly thrusts several devices onto (and off of) AT&T’s roadmap in the very near future, including a 3G iphone and the blackberry 9000 we recently saw strutting its stuff.

A few more images have popped up online showing off the newly announced Cloudbook Max from Everex. Overall it looks like it has a nice design, although it seems to be a little “puffy.” A few things to note based on the images (as compared to the current model): The empty space below the display has been filled-in by the larger screen. The speaker appears to be one long section, instead of the current two smaller sections. The trackpad has been switched to the more familiar style. The internal webcam has been centered, as opposed to being off to the right of the display. The addition of the external 2.0-megapixel webcam.

I’m sure all those who love downloading all their entertainment needs via P2P would definitely fall head over heels with OKI’s all-new optical 3R regenerator which re-amplifies and re-shapes the optical signal, capable of hitting data download speeds of up to 160Gbps - that amounts to four full-length movies in a single second. Hopefully this technology would make its way to the mainstream consciousness soon at an affordable cost, so that we can forget about dealing with physical media any more.
