New USB Cable Tricks Your Phone Into Becoming A USB Modem
By Chris Scott Barr If you have a phone with an unlimited data plan, it can be frustrating when the carrier won’t allow you to use your phone as a modem. After all, if you’re paying for unlimited data, why shouldn’t you be able to use it as you please? One company has designed a very special USB cable that claims to let you do just that. Pretec’s new H220 Intellicable cable has a built-in flash drive, which contains a special suite of software. This allows your computer to trick the phone into thinking it’s a USB modem

Bell, Telus confirm iPhone 4 launch “in the coming weeks”
As expected, following Rogers’ announcement, both Telus and Bell have disclosed that they too will be releasing the iPhone 4 in Canada “ in the coming weeks. ” Similar to Rogers , they didn’t divulge any info on its exact launch date locally, but we know that this will be happening sometime in July. As far as pricing goes, no luck here either, but given at how the pricing scheme in Canada is somewhat similar to the US, we’re assuming that the iPhone 4 will just take over the price point of the current iPhone 3G S line with the latter getting a significant price cut to clear out inventory the soonest time possible. The iPhone 4 will most likely be available on Fido and Virgin Mobile Canada as well considering that they too have an iPhone as part of their line-up.

Review: Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go Wireless USB Modem
One thing modern technology and being a gadget freak brings is lots of monthly bills. iPhone, Netflix, Satellite, home internet. When you think about it, it seems we are being nickel and dimed to death with monthly charges. Being a father of two and earning a meager wage, the addition of more of these monthly charges is not an option. There are many new mobile internet devices that look compelling, but I never can work the monthly fees into my budget. Enter Virgin Mobile’s Broadband2Go. Virgin Mobile was kind enough to send me a Broadband2Go Wireless USB Modem to try out. The big difference in the Broadband2Go offering is the lack of monthly or annual charges. The service is pay as you go and offers several options starting at $10. This is exactly what I needed. There are times I would like to be wireless for a trip or during certain sports, but I am not willing to pay for the services the entire year. With the Broadband2Go Modem, I am able to pay for what I think I will use without a contract or any attachments
