AT&T’s killing their $10/1,000 text plan. Now, you’ll have to choose between $20 for unlimited, or forgo a plan and pay $0.20 per message. AT&T calls this “streamlining.” We call it what it is: an outrageous, gigantic scam. It’s important to note, before considering anything SMS, that text messages are essentially free. Not for you,…

Virtual Reality Goggles for the iPhone Turn 2D Content Into “3D”

Good ol’ Hammacher Schlemmer—they’ve taken one company’s outlandish idea of a virtual reality viewer for the iPhone, and turned it into a $50 contraption nobody will buy. It comes with free 3D downloads and games that “come to life” when the iPhone/iPod Touch is slipped inside the viewer. Just be careful when that great white…

A Pint-Sized Gramophone Will Instantly Class Up any Phone

The technical merits of a gramophone-shaped passive amplifier are certainly up for debate. But those looking for a stylish way to dock/charge their iPhones (without spending hundreds on an adequately-designed speaker dock) could do worse than Ozaki’s iSuppli Gramo.

The gear was allegedly installed by AT&T, and only supports the 700MHz and AWS bands, which will fall in AT&T’s LTE network if the T-Mobile merger goes through. Yesterday we heard rumors about an LTE iPhone currently in carrier testing, although…
