AT&T Data Plan Changes
I’m sure everyone has heard by now, but starting next week AT&T will now have two data plans to choose from for their smartphones: * $15 for 200MB per month* $25 for 2GB per month I checked my usage and I’ve been below 200MB for my 3G data usage in 5 out of the last 6 months.

Read MoreThoughts on the iPhone
My Verizon contract expired on July 3, so I’m now the proud owner of Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB, white). This is one slick piece of technology! I can see why Apple has not yet come out with a Netbook: the iPhone is their Netbook. So far, it’s completely replaced everything that I used my Asus Netbook for.
