What we see here is a bunch of Notion Ink Adam tablets being prepared to ship today.

Beginning January 30th this year, Sprint will introduce a $10 fee for users of 3G data plans. This fee will apply to new customers only although this might effect customers who come to renew their contract after the said date.
The $10 fee is a monthly charge and is another way to charge users more for data. As we reported earlier today, 10 percent of users are responsible for 90% of the data usage. Rather than going for the 10 percent, which we guess they can’t do if they offered the terms of the contract, Sprint seems to be spreading the charge amongst all 100% of 3G data users. [Read more…]

Since the launch of iOS 4.3 beta 1 a couple of days ago, a number of people have been snooping around the SDK and files to see what is available. A lot of hints can be found in the SDK that reveal what’s coming soon so to speak.
The next item to be found is a couple of shutter screens that are seen on all iOS devices with a camera. The difference with these screenshots is the size of them. Both the portrait and landscape versions have an image size of 1024 x 768 pixels which is the same size as the current iPad display. You might note here that this could indicate that the iPad 2 might not get a higher pixel density screen, or Apple might have just put these in as test images which in time, will be replaced with the actual resolution for the iPad 2 (which is still unknown).
