iPhone 5 “Global” LTE support rumors: grossly exaggerated

When the Wall Street Journal came out with the speculation that the iPhone 5 would feature 4G LTE, this was largely a non-news as virtually everyone expects LTE to happen in the iPhone 5 as 1/users demand it 2/ wireless carriers want LTE phones, period. The more interesting bit from WSJ was that LTE would work outside of the US market, which is unusual for LTE phones: most fall back to HSPA+ in Europe and elsewhere.

This happens because unlike HSPA+ and 3G, the radio bands (frequencies) used for 4G LTE are very different from one country (or one carrier) to the next. Even in the USA, LTE is not interoperable from one carrier to the next.

This did not prevent a “global” iPhone 5 4G LTE support rumor to spread on the web like wildfire. Of course, iPhone 5 users who are heavy travelers rejoiced right away. Those who had a prospect to resell the phone globally did so as well (prices are much higher in markets where the phone is not officially available). However, here is the cold shower: (more…)

U.S. Tornadoes: New York City, Dallas, Atlanta And Miami Have All Been Hit

Two tornadoes touched down at the edge of New York City on Saturday. No serious injuries were reported.

Once exceedingly rare in New York, tornadoes have occurred with regularity in recent years. A small tornado uprooted trees on Long Island last month.

In 2011, a fast-moving storm during the city’s evening rush hour spawned two destructive tornadoes and a fierce macroburst with wind speeds up to 125 mph that barreled across the city’s Brooklyn and Queens sections. A woman in a car who had just swapped seats with her husband was killed.

NFL Network, a la carte NFL RedZone Channel are coming to Google Fiber subscribers

NFL Network logo

It isn’t quite ESPN, but sports fans who also happen to love technology — yes, they exist — will be happy to know that choosing Google Fiber doesn’t mean going without NFL Network and NFL RedZone. All Google Fiber subscribers will get NFL Network, while NFL RedZone will run you $10 a month, but for only four months of the year. Not exactly just in time, though, as you won’t be able to subscribe to NFL RedZone until one day after the first Sunday of football on September 10th. Either way, this is huge news if you’re a fan of the most popular sport in the US — but not so much for Timer Warner Cable which is the single biggest cable provider who doesn’t carry it, and happens to compete against Google for subscribers in Kansas City.

Ask Engadget: best online rolodex?

Image

We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget inquiry is coming to us from Ellio, who needs to control his wayward address book with something a little more useful than Gmail. If you’re looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

“Hi there. I love Ask Engadget and I’ve got a problem I hope you can help with. I run my own business and deal with thousands of contacts on a regular basis. I need a more efficient way of cataloging their contact details than Gmail contacts or my OS X address book — since I’d like to be able to tag-search for people who work for the same company or in the same industry. Friends have suggested using a spreadsheet, but I’m sure someone’s invented a more efficient method than that, so any pointers you can give would be amazing, thanks!”

With a small army of contacts we have to marshall on a regular basis, we feel your pain Ellio. We’ve heard some things about Flexadex, but many of our staffers just muddle on through with Gmail. That’s why we’ll open the floor to our beautiful and clever commenters to find out what they use on a regular basis.
