Google quietly rolled out this feature a few days back. Like the title says, you can now delete e-mails from your GMail Exchange account on your iPhone, rather than archive. You'll need to go to the Google Sync's mobile site on your iOS browser and change a setting. It's all explained here:

Enjoy!

Starting Sunday, AT&T will be raising the prices and allocated data of smartphone data plans.

The 200MB plan is going to 300MB for $20

The 2GB plan is going to 3GB for $30

The $45 4GB w/tethering is going to $50 for 5GB

I'm assuming people will be able to keep current data plans, but these look better than the current ones (besides the grandfathered unlimited)

Are you tired of roaming in the USA and getting back to a horrendous bill?

Do you proactively add travel packs and cost modifiers that lower your roaming costs but ultimately don't understand them, and end up going over anyway?

A roaming option for us Canadians going South of the 49th parallel seems to have come to fruition.

Taking a quick look at the site there are quite a few options. The options that interest me:

- MicroSim or Standard Sim card at $19.99
- Costs as low as $3.50 a day for calls / sms / data (Talk and Text and Data)
- Calls and SMS back to Canada are inclusive
- Roam on a network that's capable of 42Mbps (I'm guessing it's T-Mobile)

They claim it's about 99% cheaper then a domestic Canadian plan roaming in the USA.
Frankly, I believe them!

Have a look at the plans. I know what I'll be getting when I go roaming in the USA.

Steve Wozniak, Apple Wunderkind cedes that Android has a few advantages over iOS.
He goes on to name navigation and even, GASP, Voice commands as some of his features that best iOS.

He even surfaced at the Google campus to get his hands on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and it's Ice Cream Sandwich goodness, but ultimately prefers the RAZR.

Now this is an interesting approach to case design:

Nissan is creating a line of iPhone cases which use their 'self repairing' paint which was first found on their cars. While it can't fix major gouges, minor scratches will disappear in about an hour to a week. It's made from ABS plastic which is said to be stronger then most plastics.

The technology is currently in the process of being licensed to NTT Docomo to be used in its phones and is being beta tested in Europe at this time.
