During a tour of AT&T Foundry space in Plano, Texas the company exhibit its upcoming 4G Long Term Evolution Network to GigaOM.

AT&T expects to get ‘real-world’ speeds of around 28 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up. That is over double the speeds that Verizon has promised customers. AT&T also convey that in the last four quarters, it has recovered $125 billion in revenue, and billions of dollars in capital investments in its network.

I asked for a demo and got one. The speeds provided on the download side were about 28.87 Mbps, and were about 10.4 Mbps on the upload side. This compared to speeds of 3.77 on the download side and 1.21 Mbps on the upload for an iPhone capable of maxing out on AT&T’s 7.2 Mbps HSPA network. So it’s fast, but sharing those speeds with others on a cell tower will bring them down. For comparison, Verizon has promised customers speeds of 5-12 Mbps on the download side and speeds of up 5 Mbps on the upload side.

Apple is expected to update the iPhone with support for LTE, but still is unclear whether the technology will be ready by this year. Hope in the year end.

We can say that thousands of available apps are a powerful temptation for many iPad buyers, a significant number of users don’t bother with them at all. One major difference in the iPad and the rival tablets being released in its wake is the number and variety of available applications. Apple wasn’t kidding when it patented the phrase, “We have an app for that.” But a recent survey reveals that almost a third of iPad owners haven’t downloaded any apps at all.

The Nielsen Company conducted a survey among 5,000 owners of tablets and smartphones, and discovered that while 63% of iPad owners had downloaded paid apps and another 5% only free apps, 32% had never downloaded an app.

The interesting part is that among those who paid for content, the most popular downloads were games, followed by book, music, shopping and news apps. The store atmosphere of the iTunes App Store are appealing and well I don’t see how they can resist, especially considering the number of apps that are free. Of course, with free apps comes advertising, but most iPad owners don’t seem to mind. The survey revealed that a majority of iPad owners (57%) don’t object to ads when they provide access to free content.

It looks like some of those iPhone apps out there aimed at kids may sometimes manage to fool children into making in-game purchases using a grown-up’s credit card. This reports was taken trough BBC .
Let’s look at the inside of the story;

Matthew is six and a fan of an iPhone app called Tap Resort Party, in which players build their own holiday park. This is a colorful game that seems set for kids, in which you buy properties not with cash but shells.

Now let’s hear what BBC has to say about this,“Dominic agreed to download the free game, but just a few days later, he got a nasty surprise when his credit card company called to warn him of several hundred pounds of unexpected spending on his iTunes account.”

Here Apple responded by saying that App purchase and In-App purchase can be restricted using Parental Controls. Parental Controls also can restrict apps based on app age ratings. In-app purchases and currencies cannot be used to acquire any physical goods, nor can they be used between applications, they can only be used for digital content or services provided by the application.

It seems Matthew had been tapping purchase shells in the game, each time he did the game charged the credit card £59.99. At issue, even though a password is required to download the app, iTunes will then stay logged in for 15 minutes, so you can make in-app purchases within that 15 minute window, and of course, each time you do the window gets extended.

Now the question is how Apple will improve in its app purchasing system to protect users from inadvertent purchases like this?
