Keep It On A Leash: AT&T *FINALLY* Offers Smartphone Tethering

 

AT&T, as you may have noticed, is very carefully doling out data throughput these days.  Look how long it took for them to activate MMS functionality -- and even then, it was a one-toe-gingerly-in-the-water approach, scanning the horizon to see if any of their cell towers would burst into flames.

So the fact that they're now going to offer tethering for their smartphones in general (and the iPhone in particular) is huge news -- even as it comes with a reigning-in of data throughput across the board. 

AT&T's recent press release  detailed a new set of capped data plans advertised as a way to make the online experience more affordable to their customers.  The entry-level DataPlus plan costs just US$15.00/month, but limits throughput to 200 megabytes; any overages will take another fifteen bucks out of your pocket for another 200 megs.  The Death Star argues that 65% of their smartphone customers use less than 200 MB/month. 

Meanwhile, the next-tier DataPro (US$25.00/month for 2GB) -- which will replace the current US$29.99/month unlimited data plan offered for iPad 3G's come June 7th -- has the option of tethering (i.e. using your phone as a wireless, broadband modem for your computer) for an additional US$10.00/month.  Tethering will become available this summer when iPhone OS 4 rolls out.

While all of this appears, on the surface, to be good news, everything really hinges on the robustness of the AT&T data network -- which history has shown to be not that robust.  (The Death Star's recent move to install free Wi-Fi hotspots in New York City's Times Square is less about customer/tourist convenience and more about how bad the wireless service in the Big Apple is.)  It's not enough for AT&T just to have exclusive rights to Apple's two hottest pieces of hardware (the iPhone and iPad) -- they have to make sure their customers can USE that hardware, or they will go elsewhere, and the promise of iPhone tethering be damned.

Apple Gains Patent for iPad Design

Apple has recently been granted a patent for the iPad's design. It was filed January 6, 2010 (not long before the original announcement of the device, just goes to show how secretive they are) for a term of 14 years.

The drawings look pretty much like the iPad you've come to know, but does have some interesting additions. One is what looks like the inclusion of a landscape dock connector, and the other is what looks like a FaceTime camera.

It's also interesting to note that the dock connectors and the buttons (With the exception of the home button) as well as the speaker holes are all drawn in dotted lines, which means that they are not a part of the claimed patent. 

Does this mean we will be getting an iPad 2 with built-in FaceTime camera? Sure, but we didn't need a patent to figure that out, we've thought of a whole load of features we'd like to see in the iPad 2.

Sony Blu-Ray RW Drives (New Technology)

Sony Optiarc today released the BWU-500S internal Blu-ray disc (BD) rewritable drive, which can write BD-R media at up to 12X and dual layer BD-R media at up to 8X speeds, recording a full 25GB disc in about 10 minutes. The Sony BWU-500S comes bundled with a 25GB Sony BD-R blank disc and CyberLink’s Media Suite 8 software for capturing, authoring, editing, backing up, viewing high-definition personal content and playing back Blu-ray disc movies including 3D Blu-ray movies. The drive is also able to record standard 4.7GB DVD+/-R discs at up to 16X speeds, 8.5GB DVD+/-R Double/Dual layer at up to 8X, DVD+RW at up to 8X, DVD-RW at up to 6X, CD-R at up to 48X, CD-RW at up to 24X, and support DVD-RAM recording at up to 12X speeds.

Pioneer And Buffalo Introduce The World’s First BDXL Blu-Ray Burners For PC

Pioneer Japan today announced the BDR-206MBK, which is known as the world’s first BDXL Blu-ray burner for PC.

SAMSUNG Mobile Expands Galaxy Product Portfolio With Launch of SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab

Designed as a true mobile tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab™ powered by 7-inch touchscreen, Android 2.2 platform with Flash Player 10.1 and front and rear-facing cameras for video chat support landing soon with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon

DALLAS, September 16, 2010 —Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile)1, the No. 1 mobile phone provider in the U.S., today announced the upcoming availability of the Galaxy Tab™ in the U.S with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless. The first mobile tablet from Samsung shares many of the powerful characteristics of the Galaxy S smart phone lineup that launched this summer. The Galaxy Tab is designed with several enhancements to create a unique mobile experience that other products can't deliver. 


The Galaxy Tab features a brilliant 7-inch enhanced TFT display screen, 1GHz Hummingbird Application processor supporting 3D graphics and smooth Web browsing and front and rear-facing cameras for video chat while on-the-go. . The Galaxy Tab is powered by Android 2.2™, including full support for Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1. Just like the Galaxy S smart phones, the Galaxy Tab includes Samsung’s Social Hub application and the new Media Hub content service, offering a robust collection of premium movies and TV episodes from some of the biggest entertainment companies. 


“The addition of Galaxy Tab to the Galaxy product portfolio is a powerful proof point of Samsung’s commitment to bring new and innovative mobile experiences to U.S. consumers,” said Omar Khan, chief strategy officer for Samsung Mobile. “The 7-inch display and thin, lightweight design, combined with premium content and productivity tools makes the Galaxy Tab a true mobile tablet that is as comfortable to use standing on a crowded train as it is relaxing on the couch at home. The Galaxy Tab is perfect for watching a movie, reading an e-book or catching up with your favorite TV shows or chatting with an old friend. Plus, the Tab’s design makes it completely pocketable in your pants or jacket.” 


Powerful Display, Portable Design 
The Galaxy Tab’s 7-inch display features enhanced TFT technology, offering brighter colors and clearer pictures, whether watching a movie or reading a book. The display delivers 1024 x 600 WSVGA resolution, offering full support to the Android 2.2 operating system. With support for Flash Player 10.1, the Galaxy Tab delivers an enhanced content experience when compared to other tablets currently available in the U.S. Users can engage with thousands of sites with rich Flash based applications and content including games, animations, rich Internet applications (RIAs), data presentations and visualizations, ecommerce, video, music and more. Samsung’s mobile tablet also provides access to the more than 80,000 applications currently available on the Android Market™. 


Many of the built-in productivity services and Android applications are scalable to fit the Galaxy Tab’s full 7-inch screen. For example, the user’s email, calendar and contacts will all rotate from portrait to landscape format through the tablet’s accelerometer and then open as a split-screen to create a PC or laptop viewing experience on the Tab. Likewise, many Android Market applications will open in full screen. Non-scalable Android Market applications will be framed and centered on the Galaxy Tab screen. 


The Samsung Galaxy Tab is designed for people who want a premium mobile entertainment experience on the go, but don’t want to be weighed down by a bulky device. The Galaxy Tab fits in a pocket or purse, weighs only 13 ounces and is 12 millimeters thin. Those super-light and sleek dimensions, matched with the 7-inch touchscreen display allows the Galaxy Tab to easily fit into a jeans’ backpocket or the inside pocket of a jacket. The compact design of Galaxy Tab also makes it easy for the user to type on the virtual keyboard with both thumbs or with one hand using Swype technology to type with one continuous finger motion across the keyboard. 


Two Cameras, One-on-One Video Chat 
The Galaxy Tab is designed with a rear-facing 3 megapixel camera for taking pictures on-the-go and sharing with family and friends. The Tab is also outfitted with a front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera and camcorder, enabling video chat with other people who have video conferencing capabilities. Users can align the Galaxy Tab with video chat clients including Qik and Fring and seamlessly talk with other people over a WiFi connection. 

Google Mobile Services Benefits 
Services like Google Maps™ Navigation (Beta) and Google Goggles are available on Google’s Android platform. With useful location-based services like Google Maps™, consumers can search in Standard English instead of entering an exact address. A search-by-voice function is just as intuitive, meaning searches can also be completed easily on the go. Google Goggles™ is a powerful, visual search tool that uses the Samsung GALAXY Tab’s camera to uncover information – an image of a landmark or artwork is automatically used to perform a search, delivering relevant content like a description or history. In addition, with a camera, users can enjoy various augmented reality services which are downloadable in the application market. 

Samsung Social Hub Simplifies 
Just like the Samsung Galaxy S smart phone portfolio, the Galaxy Tab keep users connected with Samsung’s Social Hub application. Social Hub works with the user’s Messaging and Contacts to initiate the sending and receiving of information, whether it is e-mail, instant messaging, social network updates or SMS messages. Additionally, calendar information from portal calendars, such as Google Calendar, and social networking services are displayed together in one calendar with two-way synchronization. 


Additional features of the Galaxy Tab include: 
- Daily Briefing: Offers instant access to weather, news, stocks, and schedules. 
- Impressive Onboard & Expandable Memory: Galaxy Tab can add 32 GB of external memory to store and manage your favorite video content and pictures. 
- AllShare DLNA Technology: Take video or pictures shot with Galaxy Tab and send content wirelessly to other DLNA-enabled devices (HDTVs, laptops, PC monitors, etc.) 
- Document Viewer & Editor: Open and make changes to any Word, Excel, Powerpoint or PDF document 
- 4,000 mAh Battery: Super-sized battery provides ample power to watch movies, share content and surf the Web 


Samsung Media Hub – Entertaining the Masses 
In addition, the Galaxy Tab will include future access to Media Hub, Samsung’s own content service, offering a vast lineup of critically acclaimed films and TV programs for rent or purchase. Samsung is working with the biggest and best names in entertainment, including MTV Networks, NBC, Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Paramount to assemble a full library of movies and TV programming, including new release films, next day TV episodes and even full TV show seasons. Media Hub also allows the user to expand the entertainment experience, allowing content purchased to permanently own to be shared with up to five devices that carry the Media Hub application. 

Premium Accessories Portfolio 
To enhance the Galaxy Tab user experience even further, a set of accessories designed specifically for the mobile tablet are available for purchase from www.Samsung.com including: 


Keyboard Dock - $99.99 
- Ergonomic, comfortable full-size keyboard with 7” Galaxy Tab replaceable inserts that doubles as a charger for power and synchronization of media and data
