Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 up for pre-order on Amazon
So now that you’re ready to move to a pre-paid plan , you’re going to need a shiny new device to bring along for the ride. As timing would have it, the Samsung Galaxy S III , the newest shining jewel in the Samsung crown, has just gone up for pre-order on Amazon from a few different vendors. Now this is the unlocked GSM version, so ease up on that trigger finger if you’re a Verizon or Sprint customer. And no LTE for you, AT&T customers. Both the Pebble Blue and Marble White are available and start at $789, but I would go ahead and pay the $20 or so more and stick with one of the sellers who has a thousand or more positive ratings under their belt
AT&T 4G LTE goes live in New Orleans & Naples, FL, downloads now jazzier and faster
New Orleans played host to the U.S. mobile industry last week for the CTIA Wireless show, and it looks like AT&T left a little gift behind to thank the Big Easy for being so welcoming – a 4G LTE network. AT&T announced today that 4G LTE service is now officially available in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as well as Naples, Florida. These three cities join the small but growing list of cities to gain LTE service from AT&T this year. Customers from the Northshore and Southshore should now see mobile Internet speeds that are up to 10 times faster than 3G. That’s provided that the customer has an LTE-capable device like the Samsung Galaxy Note or the AT&T One X (though I hear those are hard to come by these days .) Aside from the faster download speeds, there should be a considerable increase in upload speeds and improved network performance

Which reading queue app reigns supreme when comparing Instapaper, Readability, Pocket (formerly Read It Later), and Pulse? Good question.
7 reasons to shred your wireless contract and switch to pre-paid
Are you fed up with your wireless carrier? Wish you could lower the cost of your monthly bill? Tired of waiting on slow Android updates?

MirrorLink connects cars and smartphones for smarter driving, and the Samsung Galaxy S III will support it
Automotive companies have embraced the advantages of smartphone technology; however, it’s been a treacherous road to navigate. Carmakers like the idea of apps improving technology, but they aren’t too keen on encouraging drivers to be distracted. The Car Connectivity Consortium, made up of various auto and electronic manufacturers, has joined together to establish an industry standard for certifying apps and devices that are both safe and useful for drivers. That standard is MirrorLink. MirrorLink is a system that connects smartphones with in-car “infotainment” systems and select aftermarket stereos. Phones connect via USB cable, and the MirrorLink-enabled car or radio automatically detects that a dashboard of approved car apps should appear.
