ATT Tethering Spotted in Latest iPhone OS 4.0 Beta

May 19, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

A new configuration page for AT&T Internet Tethering has been spotted in the latest iPhone OS 4.0 beta, according to MacRumors.

The page alerts AT&T customers that in order to set up internet tethering, you need to contact AT&T at 611 or visit AT&T’s website. The new message seems to indicate that AT&T may finally be ready to deliver tethering to U.S. customers.

This could be great news for US customers who have been waiting for tethering capabilities since Apple announced the feature last year.

Mark The Spot App Delivering Results

May 18, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Back at the end of 2009 when AT&T introduced its Mark the Spot app, some were skeptical that the location-aware self-reporting tool for coverage issues and dropped calls was anything more than a sop tossed to irked iPhone owners in the interest of better PR for the cell carrier.

Still, like the ‘close door’ button in a high-rise elevator, any opportunity for feedback or a sense of control is eagerly seized upon by us crazy hairless primates, and the presumed database of GPS-tagged trouble spots has been accumulating. Where, however, are the improvements? The new towers? The carefully tweaked coverage maps? Is this thing even on? Read more…

ATT Blocks Employee June Vacations

April 16, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Similar to the last two years, AT&T sources say the company has put a block on employees taking vacation in June, according to the BGR.

The only time AT&T does a straight block like this is for iPhone launches. What’s interesting is, if AT&T is blocking June, perhaps the iPhone will launch a little earlier than July this year.

It has been rumored that Apple plans to unveil the new iPhone on June 22nd. Perhaps it will be available shortly after?
