AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T) touted the enhancements it made to its networks in the first half of 2010, noting it has poured more than $8.2 billion into its wired and wireless networ
Over the past week, two topics have dominated the wireless technology headlines: Apple’s World Developers Conference (WWDC) and AT&T.
The WWDC seemed to keep most tech enthusiast, beat writers and bloggers buzzing with anticipation about the latest developments from Apple. RCR Wireless compared the scene leading up to Steve Jobs keynote speech to a rock concert. Once the crazed mob found their seats, Steve Jobs took the stage and announced several new developments in Apple technology, including the debut of the highly anticipated iPhone 4.
After weeks of leaks leading up to its debut, the iPhone 4 has finally been revealed to the public. With a design slightly modified from its current look, this phone should not disappoint. Jobs described it as the thinnest smartphone on the planet. This model is almost 25 percent thinner than the iPhone 3GS with a stainless steel casing and an all glass front. Some of the flashier features include a “retina display” with four times the pixel density of a typical LCD display and a five megapixel camera with a backside-illuminated sensor. This camera is also front facing, which will allow for video calling. Apple is calling this new feature Face Time video calling for the iPhone.
Some of the new applications becoming available with the debut of the iPhone 4 are also making some noise, especially Apple’s new video editing application iMovie. This new app allows users to record, assemble and trim clips into a video timeline. Users can also add titles and even a music soundtrack as well. All of these new features and applications might just influence the iPhone nation to grow and bring in some additional revenue for AT&T.
Speaking of AT&T, they also claimed a few headlines earlier this week after announcing they’re replacing unlimited data plans. That’s right; AT&T is the first North American carrier to rollout capped data plans for subscribers. Through two new data plans, AT&T will limit the amount of data subscribers can use with hopes of relieving a congested network and creating a more affordable experience. Only time will tell if this new pricing model will work.
What do you think is the biggest news of the week?
