NBA Stars Sport the MyTouch 3G in New T-Mobile Ads

By Dena Cassella Published December 17, 2009

We suppose people started complaining about getting that darn Cat Stevens song stuck in their heads after watching T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G commercials because today the wireless provider has struck up a new advertising campaign. NBA stars Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard and even Basketball vet Charles Barkley are aiding T-Mobile in its new ad campaign for the myTouch 3G Android phone, and luckily these commercials don’t feature “If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out,” or any sort of remix of it either.

T-Mobile says the new campaign focuses on Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic and Dwyane Wade from the Miami Heat, and highlights that the myTouch 3G can be a true reflection of a person’s personality, inside and out. The Dwyane ad will debut during the TNT T-Mobile Half Time Show during the Heat vs. Magic game today, Dec. 17. You can see the Dwight Howard ad first on Friday, December 25 during the Magic vs. Celtics game on ABC. Here’s a sneak peek at the D. Wade ad:

The best free VPNs for 2026

The best free VPNs still come with compromises, but a few offer enough privacy and flexibility to be genuinely useful.

A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well.

Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.

The best Kindle in 2026: Here are the top Kindles for reading

From a pocket-friendly e-reader to a premium color notebook, Amazon has a Kindle for almost every kind of reader.

There's nothing quite like curling up with a good book on a cold evening. As much as I love the feel of a physical book, books take up a lot of space, and carrying more than one on a trip quickly becomes a chore. That's where e-readers come in, and the Amazon Kindle remains one of the best options.

Amazon just refreshed its Kindle lineup with thinner, lighter designs, a new flush-front display, and colors that wrap from front to back. Add the Kindle Scribe and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft to the mix, and you have more choices than ever before.
