AT&T Takes on 7 New Smartphones: 2 Palm WebOS, 5 Google Android

By Dena Cassella Published January 6, 2010

AT&T today announced it plans to sell seven new smartphones in the first half of this year, including two from Palm Inc and five Android handsets—one which is Dell’s new smartphone. The company says it also plans to sell handsets from Motorola and HTC. AT&T is the last major wireless company to add Android-powered devices to its smartphone lineup.

“We hung back and watched the market very carefully,” Jeff Bradley, senior vice president of devices at AT&T. “When we saw the demand [for Android devices] was there and the product was ready, we decided to bring it out.”

AT&T did not reveal any specifics about the two Palm devices it will be taking on, but we’re going to guess it will be the Palm Pixi and Palm Pre—the only two Palm phones running on webOS software. Naturally, this news makes us wonder if another carrier might be picking up the AT&T-exclusive iPhone. We’ll just have to wait and see how this all plays out.

The best note-taking apps for iOS and Android

I tested these apps for months so your notes never have to switch homes again.

Choosing a note-taking app is not easy. What note-taking app you choose depends on your needs, the platform you use, and of course, the cost. The process becomes even more complicated as it seems that there’s a new shiny app released every other week.

That’s why I always suggest choosing a note-taking app that has all the features you need and can last you for a long time. Also, don’t chase new apps. The real power of a note-taking app comes when all your notes live in one place, making it easy to spot connections between them.

Snapchat Planets Meaning: Order, Rankings, and How Friend Solar System Works

Snapchat Planets turns your best friends list into a solar system, and yes, your orbit says a lot

Snapchat Planets being shown on the Snapchat app on iPhone.

Snapchat+ includes several exclusive features, but few have generated as much curiosity as Snapchat Planets. Part of the app's Friend Solar System, it transforms your Best Friends list into a planetary ranking, assigning each of your top eight friends a planet based on how often you interact.

From Mercury, which represents your closest friend, to Neptune, which represents your eighth closest, the system offers a quick visual snapshot of your interactions. But what do the different planets actually mean, and how does Snapchat decide who gets which one?
