After a barrage of criticism, AT&T ends the months-long guessing game and announces a launch date for picture messaging on the iPhone 3GS and 3G, a few days after its self-imposed deadline. Still no word on tethering, though.
Through its Twitter account and on its Web site, AT&T says that MMS functionality will finally arrive on the iPhone on September 25—a few days after the “later this summer” deadline that the carrier initially promised—through a “software update,” presumably iPhone Software 3.1.
The news comes on the same day as this blistering article …

Holding off on buying a Kindle? That might not be such a bad idea, as color versions of electronic paper displays are well underway, with commercial products likely to hit the market in the second half of next year.
Current, monochrome e-paper displays work by using thousands of tiny balls, white on one side and black on the other. When electrically charged appropriately, the black or the white side of the ball can be made to point “up” toward the face of the display.
Adding color to this mix complicates things considerably, …

Can’t get a decent cell signal in your living room? I know the feeling. That’s why more and more carriers are offering femtocells: compact, antenna-equipped boxes that use your home broadband network to boost cell reception. Clever idea—although you’ll pay extra for the privilege, of course.
Sprint has had its own femtocell device—the Airave—on sale for more than a year now, while Verizon Wireless announced its own femtocell service this week. That leaves AT&T, which is rumored to have a femtocell product in the works, and T-Mobile, which offers something a …

Helio may have been gobbled up by Virgin Mobile last summer, but the brand name lives on, as evinced by the new—if only modestly revamped—Ocean 2 QWERTY slider. Is the latest Ocean worth the $70 premium over the already robust original? Set to go on sale next Thursday (Feb. 12) for $149 with a two-year contract (post-paid, not pre-paid as with Virgin Mobile’s other handsets), the Ocean 2 has been whispered about for months—indeed, the first fuzzy photos appeared on the Web last May, while a series of leaked images …

Unless you’re a digital artist or professional photographer, you probably don’t give color accuracy much consideration. But if you’ve ever wondered why little Johnny looks a bit green when you’re flipping through digital photos on your laptop, maybe you should. While the color accuracy of your LCD remains a topic largely of interest to the pros, digital photo expert Rob Galbraith found that even inexpensive laptops can have great color… and some of the sacred cows of the business may not be as sophisticated as you’d think.
Galbraith took four laptops …

40 years ago, the first two computers on the ARPAnet — the military-run precursor to the Internet we know today — were connected to each each other, creating the first link in what would arguably become the most important technological advance in history.
It would be several months before enough computers were added to the network to make it useful and for messages to start flowing among them, but September 2, 1969, is generally considered one of the defining dates in the Internet’s protracted birth.
Within a year, the network would expand …
