Carriers crack down on Android tethering apps, rain on our mobile hotspot parade

Android Tethering Apps
Well everybody, it looks like the free ride is over: carriers in the US have started to seriously crack down on Android tethering apps. Head on over to the Android Market site and try to install an app that turns your smartphone into a WiFi hotspot -- there's a pretty good chance you'll be told, "this item is not available on your carrier." We checked out a number of different tethering options and they were all blocked by T-mobile and AT&T, which isn't entirely new. Verizon has also joined the party and, while it missed at least one that we spotted, we're sure they'll all be gone in short order. Only Sprint has decided against banning such apps... for now. It looks like you might have to finally cough up for that tethering plan you've been desperately trying to avoid.

Samsung Galaxy S 4.0, 5.0

Samsung this morning on Facebook unleashed a flurry of pics amid the launch of the Galaxy S 4.0 and 5.0 -- 4- and 5-inch Wifi-only versions of its wildly popular Samsung Galaxy S Android smartphone. They've been spotted before at various trade shows earlier this year, and we're awaiting any sort of details like pricing and availability. All Samsung said on Facebook was:

We’re pleased to announce the launch of the GALAXY S WiFi 4.0 and 5.0.

Complete with Android 2.2 “Froyo” for access to thousands of Android apps & 4’’ and 5’’ large, high quality screens, these handsets will provide the ultimate smartphone-like experience.

Update: Full presser's after the break -- we're looking at Korean devices thus far.

So, Wifi-only Galaxy S's, at 4 and 5 inches. Who's interested? Lots more pics at the source link.

It's Cold Out There: Protecting Data Outside the Enterprise Firewall

Today's business has come to rely on mobility. Employees take their laptops home, work on tablets and collaborate anywhere via the Web. Unfortunately, these productivity advancements have paved the way for new cyber-vulnerabilities against an organization's private data and intellectual property. Can mobility continue to be a business benefit when attackers take advantage of security loopholes?

Turtle Pens With ?Turtle Head? Technology

The Turtle Pen is worth a mention for its nib-retraction mechanism, dubbed the “Turtle Head”. And yes, that’s exactly what you think it is: the business end of the pen squeezes itself out through the tight sphincter that is the end of the pen’s barrel.
Instead of pressing a button on the top of the pen, [...]

AT&T brings HSUPA to Atrix 4G and Inspire 4G, one requires WiFi to download update

If you're the somewhat-proud-but-feeling-throttled owner of a Motorola Atrix 4G or HTC Inspire 4G, your days of terribly slow uploads are nearly through -- following some preliminary tests, AT&T is rolling out updates that provide "increased potential data speed" to both HSPA+ handsets right on cue. The Inspire 4G's patch will also "make the email set up process much easier," while the Atrix 4G will actually get a pair of updates which will allegedly bring better Bluetooth headset compatibility, fingerprint reader performance and battery life (which is always a plus) as well as the questionable utility of turning the Atrix into an EDGE hotspot, and a bump to Android 2.2.2 to hopefully fix any lingering SMS routing bugs. Word of warning though, you'll need to throw your Atrix up on a WiFi network to obtain these goodies -- all the Gs in the world won't help you.
