The competition between four major U.S. carriers has heated up quite a bit in the past few months, with T-Mobile leading the charge on several new initiatives that have shaken up the wireless carrier industry. AT&T, the second largest national carrier, has gone on the offensive by implementing a new price cut, hoping to get a leg up on its rivals. The AT&T Mobile Share Value plan 2GB gets a $15 price cut and now stands at $65 per month. This price gives a customer with one phone line 2GB of data on AT&T’s 4G LTE network, as well as unlimited talk and text in the country.

Even though it was officially said that the Panasonic Toughpad 4K UT-MB5 tablet would start shipping in February 2014, it appears that the tablet still hasn’t made its way into the hands of customers. The folks at Neowin digged around a bit and claim that couldn’t any evidence of the tablet being sold online. They also contacted a few “known resellers,” with only one revealing that orders for the tablet will be taken from tomorrow and that ship dates sit between March 10th and April 3rd, 2014.

The first 24 hours of Halo 3′s release was HUGE for Microsoft as Xbox 360 users forked out a total of $170 million for the game. Remember, that was only the first 24 hours! That $170 million was enough to make the launch of Halo 3 the biggest in entertainment history – bigger than any Hollywood movie. As you can imagine, game retailers are ecstatic with the demand and sales of the game, and Microsoft is celebrating over their success.

In the press release from Microsoft, they point out that “The Xbox 360 title beat previous records set by blockbuster theatrical releases like Spiderman 3 and novels such as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” Certainly the difference in price between a movie ticket or novel, and the minimum $60 price tag on Halo 3 helps, but even still, it’s a titanic-sized accomplishment for the gaming industry. Sales were also aided by over 10,000 midnight madness parties that were held Monday night by retailers to start selling the game, as well as over 1.7 million pre-orders.

I’d be really interested to know how many copies of the game were sold, and what percentage that is of all Xbox 360 owners, but Microsoft hasn’t given those details yet. Obviously, all that really matters in the entertainment industry is the dollar amount, but it would still be interesting to know.

Vice president of movies and games at Best Buy said, “The initial demand we’ve seen for Halo 3 has been astounding, and the game is on track to become the number one gaming title of all time.  Halo 3 is a genuine entertainment phenomenon and our customers have responded very enthusiastically to the release.” Years ago, I don’t think anyone would have even considered that Microsoft could develop a gaming console, let alone publish the number one gaming title of all time.

Google hasn’t exactly revealed sales figures of the Chromecast, but it did say soon after the launch of this HDMI dongle that they had underestimated its demand. This $35 dongle became an instant hit soon after it was launched last year, and even though its only available in the U.S. right now, there has been speculation that it is ready to go global. At SXSW today, Google’s Android chief Sundar Pichai told attendees that Chromecast sales are now in the “millions,” and that they are continuing to grow very actively.
