After wearing out the 4G tag on its HSPA+ devices (which should be called 3.5G), AT&T can finally claim to have a 4G network starting this weekend. At a financial conference today, AT&T announced that it’ll be offering its 4G LTE service starting this Sunday, September 18th. The service will initially be available in five markets: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, before it continues rolling out to the rest of the US.

While there aren’t any smartphones to take advantage of the LTE network yet, users can purchase wireless hotspots, modems and one tablet (the HTC Jetstream) to take advantage of the high-speed data connection. No word on when we’ll see the first phones, but it shouldn’t be too long now. Anybody planning to subscribe to AT&T’s LTE network?

Google to launch e-reader Sunday: Meet the iriver Story HDJuly 11, 2011 |  2:01pm

Google debuts its first partner e-reader Sunday. The iriver Story HD has an e-ink screen and WiFi but not 3G connectivity. It is the first e-reader built to be fully integrated with Google ebooks. It will be for sale at Target stores nationwide, retailing for $139.99.

Target sells an array of e-readers, including those by Sony and Kobo, and Amazon's Kindle.

Friends of independent booksellers, hundreds of which have teamed with Google as their ebook sales partner, may be inclined to take a look at the new Story HD.

The name is somewhat mysterious. When applied to a television, "HD" generally means "High Definition," which refers to a digitally compressed high resolution color image. Since the iriver Story HD is a black-on-gray e-ink reader, I'm not sure what HD means. Maybe our colleagues at the Technology blog can explain what the "HD" stands for.

Or maybe it means "Hey Dude," "Happy Documents" or "Hot Diggity." Who knows? Specs for the new device aren't yet available on the iriver website.

Nevertheless, Google is enthusiastic, writing: "The Story HD is a new milestone for us, as iriver becomes the first manufacturer to launch an e-reader integrated with Google eBooks."
