Were you riding one of AT&T’s unlimited data deals until recently? If so, this whole new Verizon iPhone thing is about to work in your favor, as the Associated Press is reporting AT&T iPhone users are being offered a sort of unlimited data amnesty: if they had it before, but switched to a limited data plan since, they can now have it back. This is clearly in response to Verizon’s promised $30 uncapped deal, though it remains entirely unofficial and unannounced — no reason why AT&T would want to advertise its desperation, after all. When asked for comment, a company spokesperson would neither confirm nor deny the news, saying only that AT&T handles “customers and their situations individually.” Still, we’d pick up the blower and threaten to start wearing red to see what the incumbent iPhone carrier might offer up as an incentive to stay blue.

According to newly released numbers, Microsoft shipped two million Windows Phone 7 handsets in the fourth quarter of last year. That number pales in comparison to the 16.2 million iPhones Apple sold (sold, not shipped) in that same timeframe, but the company is insisting that–at least in this point of the game–it’s all about customer feedback, a front that Microsoft claims to be winning.

So we’ve just installed Google’s first public-access preview of its tablet-focused Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system, an early build of the platform’s SDK that features “non-final” code and APIs; it’s intended primarily for developers who want to get a head start on making their tablet app dreams come true, but naturally, we needed to install it and take it for a test drive ourselves. Here are our quick observations:
Since the emulator doesn’t provide a “Google experience” build with access to the Android Market, Gmail, or other “branded” Google apps, we weren’t able to deep-dive on how real-world applications are going to look on the platform — but with any luck, Motorola’s Xoom should be shipping within a few weeks. In the meantime, check out a video after the break!
Update: We’ve figured out the orientation trick — you need to uncheck automatic orientation in Settings, then flip the emulator from landscape to portrait (counterintuitive, we know). We’ll be updating the media as soon as we can!
Update 2: Second video (in the correct orientation this time!) added after the break.

A few months back Amazon called on writers and publishers to create shorter works for its new Kindle Singles category. That category has now officially launched and has been integrated into the Kindle Store.
Consider this a most speculative bit of news for now, but a few Facebookers have today been confronted by a new, heretofore unseen “Call” button when visiting their friends’ profiles. Mashing on that icon didn’t connect them and their buddies don’t seem to have received any alerts at all, but the fact remains that the world’s most popular website just did something a little bit different. The logical suspicion is that the Skype partnership that saw Facebook Connect infiltrate the web telephony service is now bearing fruit in the other direction with us seeing a bit of Skype functionality being built into the social network.
