The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) conference call has just started, but here’s the important topics that should be covered. Starting off, 4G LTE will be at speeds of 10x the average speeds of their EV-DO 3G network, launching on December 5th. Coverage of 4G LTE will be at 60 airports relatively close to the 38 cities that also will receive 4G LTE, covering over 110 million people, and nationwide coverage “coast to coast” in 2013 — 3 years from now, which is not a long time for a complete LTE roll-out of the United States with speeds on average of 5MBps to 12MBps download, and 2MBps to 5 MBps upload, with half the latency of the 3G network. As for coverage, street-level maps will be available on Sunday as well.
As for USB modems, the LG VL600 and Pantech UML290 4G data-sticks will also be available on the 5th (backwards compatible with 3G, by the way), and data plans are strict and straightforward, with 5GB to 10GB data plans without throttling after you’ve gone over your limit. Pricing related, the 5GB data plan which costs $50 per-month, and the 10GB plan will cost $80 (for USB modems). Other devices, like phones; they’ll be discussed at CES and launched “by mid-2011″. Verizon also heavily mentions that “not all 4G is the same” and [Verizon] LTE is a big deal”.
The interesting points here are numbered, actually. First off, voice will still be based on 3G (for now) and 4G will take over the data spectrum at Verizon. Also, when a 4G connection is lost, 3G will be switched over without hassle or delay, but when in use, it will not switch onto the 4G LTE network until finished.
But that settles that. Visit the via link below for the newly-launched 4G LTE site.

Turns out yesterday 
It turns out there’s a new version of Flash in the works, and the latest comes from Adobe Labs as Flash 10.2. New fetatures include Stage Video API and GPU acceleration that have “seen laptops play smooth 1080p HD video with just over 0% CPU usage.” GPU acceleration is now available for Internet Explorer 9, as well as more APIs like native custom mouse cursors API and support for full screen playback with multiple monitors; that sort of stuff. Turns out the beta is only in 32-bit version, and I’m using 4GB of DDR3 RAM here and I have 64-bit, so that means I’ll be laying back on Flash 10.2 for a bit.
The Dell Venue Pro is the best looking Windows Phone 7 device. In fact (and I’m not joking) but my contacts at Dell feel so bad that the Venue Pro is hard to find (lol?). And so do I. Turns out, we’ll all be happy (well, at least you) when it launches on December 14th on a two-year agreement with T-Mobile — for $149.99. That gets you a 4.1-inch multitouch LCD, slide-up QWERTY, Windows Phone 7, 5MP camera with 720p HD recording, 16GB of internal storage, and some very, very pretty looks. The page is live now, if you’re wondering. Via: 
Oh, lookie! It’s been a few days for a new laptop not to get announced by some company, so it turns out Dell will have a crack at it. The Dell Vostro V130 is a thin 13.3-inch WLED display beast with Core i3 or i5 ULV processors, Bluetooth 3.0/WiMAX/Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, HDMI port, 2 USB ports, E-SATA/USB port, and finally a 5-in-one SD card reader. And it starts at — $429. Nice.
