by Mike Schramm (Sep 8th, 2010)

FCC pictures of the brand new iPod touch's internal tech show that the device has a vibrating motor inside of it.

Rumor: Sprint working on iPod touch-friendly 4G hotspot called "Peel"

by Mike Schramm (Jul 29th, 2010)

I was first introduced to the wonders of the mobile Wi-Fi hotspot at Macworld earlier this year -- our own Mike Rose was carrying one around, and it was like magic. A Wi-Fi connection for up to five people anywhere you go? Yes please. I don't think the charges make it necessarily feasible for ...
