in the Article: Adobe Sticks A Fork In Flash For Android forum

Apple never trashed Adobe...they simply said that flash wasn't a suitable solution for mobile...and it wasn't. HTML 5 is way better for mobile. Even web browsers are starting to replace flash with HTML 5. This isn't the death of Adobe, just a change for the mobile platform. Adobe didn't say they were getting out of the mobile game, they said they were going to focus in air for mobile...which is a smart move. Apple didn't attack them, they simply didn't build ...

They said all of this a few years back...the Android community blasted them for it, but I understood what they were saying. I'm not a professional web developer, but i've build 5 web sites in the past year - each of them without even an ounce of flash in them. They are all fully functional, with sliding graphics, video functionality and audio built in. They all play nicely with my iPhone/iPad, my friends Android devices, my friends blackberry devices (kinda ...

Not that my employment status is any of your business, but I actually don't work for AT&T Mobility, either directly or indirectly. If you must know, I work for a cable tv, Internet and home phone provider in NM. It's just like any other person on this forum to say assume that I do though. If the only people that support AT&T, are their employees, then why is AT&T so large? You mean to tell me that you are more educated ...

Tell me, if there wasn't a NEED for spectrum, why would the government be in the works of freeing up their own spectrum for commercial use? In the T-Mo merger, AT&T did say, they needed the spectrum, the FCC and DOJ blocked the acquisition NOT because they didn't think AT&T NEEDED the spectrum, but because they didn't feel that eliminating T-Mo would be healthy. Sprint tried to say they could do what they needed with the spectrum they had...but if Sprint ...

I don't have a problem with you stating your opinion, but you state them like they are facts. The truth is, you can't say what AT&T would do with the spectrum, but if you look at the facts, you will see that AT&T actually does need that spectrum, and I believe that they would use it for the purpose they say. Furthermore, what you call "anti-competitive", others call business. They are not a not-for-profit organization, why should they donate the companies ...

What's the hold up with the unlimited plans? I had the unlimited with my carrier, but dropped it for a better plan. This is the problem with America, we want to use everything in excess. Why can't people just learn to use their phones in consideration of the spectrum crunch all carriers are facing. I have a 4GB plan with my carrier. I tether my phone with my iPad. I use FB, have 5 email addresses on both, watch YouTube, ...

This post was just dumb. You obviously don't read about spectrum much. AT&T actually IS using this particular block of spectrum, and DOES need more spectrum to build out its LTE network - in this block. You can't just build whatever you want on any spectrum you might have available. It doesn't work that way, it has to line up with a number of different things.

in the Article: Verizon Implementing $30 Upgrade Fee Starting April 22 forum

The way that Carriers treat this fee is as a "cost recovery fee". This means that you get billed the fee for the exchange of the discounted price on the phone. If you pay full retail for the phone, the fee will not be charged...assuming Verizon does it like the others.

Yes. It was bound to happen. AT&T and Sprint has charged an upgrade fee for a while now. AT&T and Sprint are both charging $36.

Don't be so closed minded. I'm technically inclined...more than most, I still love and use my iPhone. It's the best phone for ME. I don't think it's the best phone for everyone, but it IS the best phone for me. There are apps that are not available on Android that I use on my iPhone. Unfortunately, developers will often build for iOS first and then move to Android after. Don't think that just because someone prefers the iPhone, they are ...

I wonder how they were able to get a better subsidy price than other carriers? On average, it costs a cell phone company about $400 to find a new customer...the subsidy on the iPhone is $450, making it cheaper to find a new customer than pay the subsidy. I wonder if they are taking the extra $50 hit, and if Apple allowed them to do this? They are usually pretty strict about making sure their product is the same ...

Actually, the only thing they are changing right now is frequencies...they are shutting down service on 1900MHz to free us space for growth. They are moving to 3G PHONES, but their rate plan stays the same. The service has nothing to do the rate plan and it's pricing structure. Nation 450 plan is still 39.99 whether you have Edge, 3G, HSPA+ or LTE...the additional data plan will not be required unless they chose a 3G smart phone...

Actually, AT&T has already started this process. About a year ago, they went through this in several other areas. This is their 3rd phase of this project. I think it's a good thing they are doing this. I was just taken back by the guys above my last post's comment, he stated that AT&T was still selling 2G only devices in NY...to my knowledge AT&T has stopped that for a while now. I also haven't seen any LTE Blackberrys yet either...HSPA+ ...

Well, the Google + app is probably one of them. You can turn off the instant upload, but your phone album still shows up in G+, showing the App is not releasing it's ties to the album...I know there was a pop up that says you can turn the feature off, but I didn't read it, like most other people and all of my pictures started uploading...I didn't like that. I almost stopped using G+ over it...

Tether, so far I haven't seen you post anything productive. You keep saying "Invest in your network", like AT&T really isn't investing capital in their network...even after you learned by SEVERAL posts in another post that AT&T invests more capital than any other network. You asked for an article, when you got one, you disregarded it like it never exsisted. You're so closed minded to the facts and that makes your posts unreliable and just a rant. Your response to ...

AT&T has LTE in 75 markets - but AT&T took a different angle at the 4G thing. When you fall off of LTE on Verizon, it drops you to CDMA 3G speeks...peak speeds of 1.5 MBPS...real world speeds of about 1 or less (my brother has Verizon...that is what he gets on a good day) AT&T however has not just been investing in LTE, but also HSPA+...which is pretty fast also...I use it now. Their HSPA+ covers more people than ...

Fight these clown who refuse to invest in their network??? You are a moron. You should read more about the investments that AT&T is making before you stay stuipid crap like that. I'm not saying all of AT&T's policys are prefect, but for 4 years in a row, AT&T has invested more capital into their network and andvancing it than any other carrier. The caps are not going away. They are only coming on stronger. If your cell phone carrier still allows ...

I'm not sure you can accuse Apple of monopolizing iOS Applications...because they ARE iOS. It is possible for a company to monopolize the APPLICATION FIELD itself, however the fact that Apple is the only company to have iOS apps does make it a monopoly, it makes it theirs.

Sprints recent reports show that they are 7B short on their opperating budget over the next 4 years. They sold some notes in which they were hoping to raise 3B but they are still short an additional 4B...they may have some cash in their bank acct...but it all has a name on it already. They just hadn't paid their bills yet :)

I would take AT&T throttled plans over Sprints struggling data speeds any day. I'm not so blind as to think that AT&T is the best carrier, period. I believe that each region has a stronger network. In my area, it's AT&T...with everything I do with my phone, i'm using about 1.8 GB a month...so no big deal.
