Apple is attempting to put the brakes on one of the first Windows Phone 7 Series smartphones. Apple's suit against HTC would block the company from releasing its HD2 mobile phone equipped with Microsoft's new mobile operating system in the U.S.

Apple's complaint before the U.S. International Trade Commission would stop the Taiwan-based HTC from importing some of its 7 Series phones into the U.S.

The trend toward TV anywhere took another step forward Thursday as AT&T announced that it will support Sling Media's mobile application on its 3G network. Sling, whose player app is already in use on the carrier's Wi-Fi network, released a player for the iPhone late last year.

AT&T Wireless has agreed to provide 3G connections for Apple's new iPad tablet with prepaid plans priced at $15 a month for 250MB of data and $30 a month for unlimited data access. Analysts see AT&T's latest deal with Apple as a significant development for the wireless carrier, which beat out Verizon Wireless for the contract.

AT&T and T-Mobile announced major upgrades to their 3G networks Tuesday that eventually should help both carriers overcome problems arising from heavy data demands by smartphone subscribers.

AT&T said it has completed the deployment of software upgrades to all its 3G cell-tower sites as the first step in its rollout of High-Speed Packet Access 7.2 (HSPA+) technology.

AT&T temporarily stopped selling the iPhone on its web site for the New York City area during the weekend, reportedly including the Westchester County and northern New Jersey suburbs. The sales blackout appeared to be a further indication of wireless network strains for AT&T, which has hinted at imposing a data surcharge for iPhone users.

AT&T has launched a new app for the iPhone that will enable the carrier's most coveted subscribers to report locations where their handset coverage is problematic or nonexistent. Called AT&T Mark The Spot, the location-aware application is available as a free download from Apple's iTunes store.

Last week AT&T dropped its legal dispute against rival Verizon Wireless over advertising claims that AT&T's 3G coverage is spotty. Now the wireless carrier is turning to technology in order to boost the iPhone's performance over its broadband wireless network.

LG Electronics is getting creative with its smartphone lineup again. The electronics maker is rolling out the LG eXpo in an exclusive partnership with AT&T.

The LG eXpo is not only the first phone in the U.S. with a one-gigahertz processor, it's also the first to come with a mobile projector add-on for business professionals who need to share data on the fly. The phone will run on AT&T's HSPA 7.2 network.

What would the holidays be without bickering between siblings? AT&T and Verizon are swamping TV with ads attacking facets of each other's wireless networks. While the ads stick fairly close to the truth, there's a lot they don't say.

AT&T Inc. has been running ads with actor Luke Wilson checking off points in AT&T's favor over Verizon Wireless. It's the continuation of a spat that started a month ago, when Verizon started airing cheeky commercials that highlighted how its fast, third-generation ("3G") network has wider coverage than AT&T's 3G system.
