We’ve known for a while now that Verizon Wireless ultimately wanted to move towards tiered data to alleviate the strain power users cause on the network and also provide “more options” to their customers. Essentially, the most common plan for most users will likely be the 2GB of data per month for $30.

Even though it's still in its infancy, one of the things that makes Google+ stand out from Facebook and Twitter are the lack of brands on the network.

Twitter is also believed to be working with businesses to automatically push tweets to Twitter feeds as a way to boost revenue.

An interesting device from Motorola recently passed through the FCC to gain the necessary Bluetooth, WiFi, CDMA, and LTE certifications. The purported Xoom LTE device measures out at 259mm in length and 166mm width, which is slightly larger and shorter than the original Motorola Xoom (249.1mm by 167.8mm).
