Mobicorn
Hmm, Chinese site it168 has product information about the Sony Ericsson R800i Xperia Play (PlayStation Z1). Is this the rumored PlayStation phone we have heard of in the past? I will poke around and report back.
Verizon iPhone
The rumor mill is in FULL effect again. Apparently, the iPhone will make its debut at Verizon on February 3rd. Others predict it will be available later this month. Whatever. Jesus phone owners will have another wireless network option soon. AT&T can suck it.
Skype 3.0 for iPhone
Check it out. Skype 3.0 for iPhone is out. The new version features video calling. For more information and full release notes, check out the Skype blogs and download Skype 3.0 from iTunes.
US Cellular Galaxy Tab
US Cellular is selling the Samsung Galaxy Tablet for $199.99 (after mail-in rebate) with 2-year contract and 5GB data plan. If you prefer the lower cost 200MB data plan(s), expect to pay $399.99 (after mail-in rebate) for the tablet. Psst, check out Sprint and T-Mobile too.
Invent Now!
I planned to publish this post a fews days ago, so here it is. App Inventor for Android is now available to anyone with a Google account. The product is still in beta, but that should not stop you. Google published the news on their blog on December 15th. Check it out.
Android IDE
If you are using Eclipse to develop Android applications, there is an alternative. This should not be news to those in the "know", but here it is anyway. JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA is a great IDE. The latest version, includes some new Android goodies. Try it now!

Enough Said
According to Consumer Reports, AT&T is the WORST wireless provider. This should come as no surprise to anyone, except for the fanboys who defend the company and its services. I assume many are Jesus phone fanboys too, but I could be wrong. Whatever, AT&T sucks!

If you are shopping for the HTC myTouch 4G, be sure to check out the T-Mobile authorized dealers too. T-Mobile is selling the myTouch 4G for $199.99 with a 2-year contract. You can save a few bucks at BestBuy, WireFly, CellHub, and others.

Fourth Place
Well, it appears the 4th wireless provider is now offering the Samsung Galaxy Tab. No deals for now, so expect to pay 649.99 plus tax for the tablet. Shop around and pick what meets your needs. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Sprint Galaxy Tab
I missed this one. Sprint started selling the Samsung Galaxy Tab this past Sunday, November 14. The tablet sells for $399.99 with a 2-year contract. Sprint offers only two data plans, so choose wisely. The 5GB plan is $59.99 per month and the 2GB plan is $29.99 per month.
