admin — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:16:23 +0000

AT&T has altered the pricing of unlimited data plans for the 3G iPhone. Customers who purchase a new iPhone on July 11 will have to pay $30 per month for unlimited data, which is $10 more per month than what current iPhone owners pay. Over the course of a standard 2-year agreement, 3G iPhone owners will end up paying $40 more for the device and data services than the current generation iPhone. 3G iPhone business users will pay $45 per month. The 3G iPhone will, however, be able to access AT&T’s higher-speed 3G network, which the current iPhone cannot.

Seeing as the original AT&T Pantech Duo 1 is the C810, this C820 has a really high possibility of being the Pantech Duo 2. There aren’t many details, but it’s got WCDMA 850/1900, which is AT&T’s 3G, and probably will run Windows Mobile like the previous ones. It’s interesting to check out the differences between this and the Ocean 2, which also popped up on the FCC a few weeks back if you’re into looking at FCC drawings.

Cellphone Use While Pregnant Causes Kids To Go Haywire, Study Says

admin — Mon, 19 May 2008 11:11:29 +0000

Pregnant women should probably add cellphones to the list of things they need to avoid, along with alcohol, sushi and cat poo. A giant study that surveyed over 13,000 children found that women who used mobile phones when pregnant were more likely to give birth to kids with behavioral problems.

The study, conducted by UCLA and Aarhus University in Denmark, found that using cell phones just two or three times a day would raise the risk of their babies developing hyperactivity and emotional disorders by the time they enter Kindergarten.

The scientists responsible for the study say that the results were "unexpected," and that they haven't discovered what biological mechanisms causes the problems. But the results stayed the same even when they accounted for other possible causes—such as smoking, family psychiatric history or socio-economic status.

But before everyone freaks out and buys a MummyWrap, the scientists stress that the results "should be interpreted with caution" and affirmed by other studies. In the meantime, maybe tell Mommy-to-be to limit her cellphone use a little bit, just in case. [The Independent via Textually]
