Filed under: Cell Phones, Computers We're well aware that the phrase "unlimited" doesn't actually mean anything to cell phone providers. Unlimited data plans rarely are that.

A woman in Oklahoma bought a 3G netbook from RadioShack for $100, subsidized by a two-year data plan from AT&T Mobility. That plan comes with a 5GB monthly data cap, which she exceeded, and as a result her first monthly bill was over $5,000. Now the two companies are facing a class action lawsuit th...

Starting December 14th, RadioShack will begin selling a 2.44 pound Acer Aspire 3G netbook for $99.99. The catch is that customers also have to sign up for a two-year AT&T DataConnect mobile broadband service agreement with plans starting at $60 a month. With the plan you can use your netbook to conn...

Just as expected, the netbook is being offered for the teensy price of $99.99 (coupled with a lengthy and expensive contract with A...

These days most people wouldn't think of buying a new phone without getting a couple hundies off in exchange for their wireless free will. But netbooks? Internationally such deals aren't altogether uncommon, but we haven't seen one here yet. That changes next week if the above image turns out to be ...

ElectronicsHobbyistFilter: Where can I browse around for and buy small electronic components (microswitches, capacitors, etc.) in New York City? Radio Shack no longer appears to carry this kind of stuff (in New York anyway) Sure I could go with digi-key or Mouser or whoever if all I need is this or ...

Staples has several “1 cent” specials right now. I went to our Walnut location and picked up a couple of small 0.5 oz bottles of hand sanitizer for a penny each. I also purchased some retractable highlighters, free after rebate. I’m very impressed with Staples Easy Rebates. They in...
