Section: Communications, Mobile  Sad news for those who are hoping to get a 4G connection on their new iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Today Clear announced that it’s iOS device-only 4G, the iSpot, will be discontinued.
Before being discontinued, the iSpot was found to be easily fooled into letting other devices connect to the 4G network. The experience was capped at 6 MBbps down, but that’s not bad considering the fee for the iSpot was just $25 per month. Other Clear modems have no cap ont he speed, but cost $45 per month. Clear is still selling through the stock fo the iSpot, so if it sounds like a good deal, you have to be quick to pick up the $100 device. Even if you don’t want to go through the process of fooling the MAC address filtering, it might not be a terrible idea. That’s especially true if the next iPad brings all the improvements that are rumored to come. Being able to Facetime anywhere in the 71 markets Clear’s 4G is available in isn’t a bad deal.

 Section: Communications, Cellphones, Cellular Providers, Mobile, Trade Shows, CES What would you say to a phone that could video conference in 720p—similar to your friend’s rear facing camera resolution? What would you say to a phone that has a theoretical storage space of 144GB? Too good to be true, right? Well, it certainly sounds that way but a German website is reporting possible specs for the HTC Thunderbolt 4G device that is expected to be announced at CES 2011. As mentioned in the title and in the rhetorical questions I posted, the HTC Thunderbolt reportedly features a 5MP front facing camera, 8MP rear facing camera, 128GB SDXC memory card support, 1.2GHz Snapdragon MSM8960 Dual-Core processor, 4.3 inch touch screen, Android 2.3, kickstand, and 16GB of internal storage. These specs are pretty hard to believe and I would be astounded if HTC announces such a phone in a week. However, if the Thunderbolt comes even close to matching these specs, I think Verizon Wireless just found a new flagship device to stay for sometime.
