Do you want to make your headphones function like a pair of those useful iPhone headsets? Here’s your fix! A start-up by the name of Makible has created a few accessories for your Android devices. The one above is the Headphone Headset Adapter with Cord Wrap for AndroidTM. It allows you to connect any regular headphone to it and use it as a headset with mic. A pretty neat idea and cost efficient at $20.

this item above converts your iPhone headsets into a usable Android headset for $10. Not only are these useful, they are pretty cool. the Android robot has been a popular figure in the tech world and a lot of fanboys will flock towards these. Too bad I’m an iPhone person… I would swoop a few of these up for future use though!

as youve read all over and probably heard from all of your friends, T-Mobile USA has been linked to talks with at&t and a consumption by at&t. As the battle heats up with LTE or the “4G” network, both Verizon and T-Mobile has taken their jabs at at&t. with the obvious similarities in technology, any mobile carrier would be wise to buy out a slightly smaller T-Mobile and advance with their footprint and customer base. (and when I say smaller, they are pretty large as a company as a close 3rd or 4th with Sprint)

T-Mobile has led the way with customer service and inexpensive pricing while trying hard to keep up with revolutionary technology. Google for one has put their money behind the company when releasing their Nexus series devices and they have done well with their old and soon to be re-invented Sidekick. Sprint was the company that was actually linked to a giant merger buy-out type transaction for the past few months but at&t came out and offered a lot of clams to end their GSM dreams. It would have been the smartest move by any carrier to make such a purchase but I would have thought Verizon or Sprint to come out winners due to the world phone aspect of GSM and SIM technology these 2 companies lacked. If Verizon were to make this transaction, the cellphone industry would strongly sway their way.

Will this change much for at&t users? Id say yes due to the fact that T-Mobile has already deployed their LTE network nationwide but with no clear future path planned out. Combined with at&t’s LTE launch, this makes GSM the most dominant 3G network as well as 4G and future Gs networks to come. Ideally, I would want T-Mobile to stay its own entity  since that would maintain jobs for both companies and also options for consumers as far as rate plans go. but that will probably be impossible especially when Cingular had to change its name to at&t finally before the first iPhone was released.

If at&t were to shut down all T-Mobile stores or merge corporate locations, there will be lay offs as well as massive overhauling to be done nationwide. I believe this is the largest move to be ever done since Sprint and Nextel were combined into the new Sprint even though they pretty much ruin the soon to be unpopular Nextel. More information needs to be shed on this huge purchase and we have at least 12 months before everything is finalized due to regulations.

this purchase is reportedly worth about $39 billion with $25 billion of it in cash and the rest in stocks of at&t. If the purchase does not go through, at&t will have to fork over $3 billion to t-mobile as a falling out present/fee. im can’t wait to see if at&t stocks will move up in the market tomorrow morning! 401K baby!!!!!!!!
