Filed under: ATT, Verizon Wireless Word on the street has it that the US Department of Justice has started informally looking into whether top carriers have gotten all antitrust-y on us, specifically investigating hardware exclusives and restrictions on the services third parties can offer on the network (open access, anyone?). The carriers potentially being called into question here — most likely Verizon and AT&T, seeing how they’re the largest by a long shot and have both made recent acquisitions to beef up their footprints and positions — say that they’ve received no notices of investigation, so if this is really happening, it’s still in the earliest stages.

When videographer Kenny Mosher was tasked with shooting a music video for acoustic-folk band BJSR, he decided to skip the usual rig for something a bit more relevant in the moment: the iPhone 3GS. Now, this music video isn’t the first of its kind; rapper GOSHone recorded one on a jailbroken iPhone 3G, months before Apple ever condoned video recording on any of their mobile handsets. That said, it’s the first we know of shot through an Apple-endorsed method, and it’s a pretty nifty video at that.

This morning the blogosphere is abuzz with the late-breaking news about Google’s new Chrome OS, a combination of the Chrome browser and windowing system running on top of a Linux kernel.

Filed under: Handsets, HTC, T-Mobile, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTS, Android We’re here at T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G launch event — quite a bit subdued compared to the G1 launch, but still a T-Mobile extravaganza all the same.
