  4. All this is saying is that AT&T is also abandoning Windows Mobile and replacing it with Android/Web OS.

  12. How about this quote!?!?!?

    NYT:Mr. de la Vega said that AT&T;’s goal was “to get more apps to more customers on more devices.”

    “New apps fuel more demand for devices and data,” he said.

    wow.
