As a resident of San Diego County, I was excited to hear that the region is on tap to be covered with T-Mobile’s flavor of 1700 mhz 3G data in the fourth quarter. With the service live in Dallas and elsewhere now, all we need are devices that are able to work on that portion … Read more
VoIP News in the UK reports about a new mobile VoIP client from Vyke being released. This comes on the heals of the Wall Street Journal and Business Week stories of last week and this week.
