Just visit this link from your phone and it’ll do the rest. Takes 5-10 minutes.
AT&T's unlimited data plans are going away.
That said, I’ll probably save $30 a month being that we only use 100-125mb each billing cycle. So I’m sort of OK with this.
The (probable) new Apple TV
Engadget is releasing info on Apple’s possible new Apple TV unit and, for the first time, I’m pretty pumped about the little unit.

Opera Mini for the iPhone just got approved.
Kind of a big deal for two reasons:
1. Even on a 2g network, side-by-side demos, seen here, show Opera Mini able to completely load five pages on NYTimes.com before Safari can even download one. This is partly due to Opera’s smaller running size, and partly due to Opera’s download compression technology. Either way, it’s sweet for mobile browsing.
2. Apple’s been in plenty of hot water since launching the iPhone about rejected apps — especially considering the recent news that Apple will not allow Flash CS5-written iPhone apps to be accepted into the store. One of Apple’s key app policies is that the app not “duplicate existing iPhone functionality” which Opera, a web browser, clearly does. Yet Apple accepted it. So this could be a sign of a better attitude to come from Apple.
Check out the press release here and keep an eye on the actual release date. The app will be free for 24 hours when it first hits the app store.

iPhone vs. ______________?
I am completely torn over a looming decision I have regarding upgrading my cell phone. My heart tells me I want an iPhone, but my brain tells me leaving Verizon is just not a good idea. The news just seems to complicate things more every single day.
iPhone/Gmail people: Google finally gives us Push email.
Via exchange, it seems. It’s a bit slow to sync up, but it’s working nicely for me.
