Full FeedCricket Wireless puts the less in wireless with $35 unlimited Internet access
If you haven’t heard of Cricket Wireless, you should be sorry my friend, because you are missing an absolutely awesome deal by being oblivious to them. Cricket Wireless is a smaller and lesser known wireless carrier compared to the likes of AT&T but they also offer unlimited Internet access just like the big players in the industry. The only difference is, compared to AT&T for example, you don’t pay a small fortune for Cricket’s wireless data plan. Instead you pay $35. I’m not kidding. Admittedly slower than what you’ll get with much more expensive plans with other providers, Cricket offers truly unlimited service with no limits or secret caps on the traffic. Probably the only caveat for would-be Cricket customers is that although the service is unlimited, unfortunately it’s not uninterrupted. The terms of service state that a user is prohibited from using the network “continuously, with or without breaks, so as to create the functional equivalent of a telephone line dedicated to continuous use.” Which is fine, considering your PC needs rest from time to time anyway. But one last thing to remember about this is that it’s only available in some US cities. So pray that it is in yours.

Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
Actually, Cricket Communication’s Wireless Internet Service is far from being “unlimited”.
If you read the fine print, it states, “Throughput may be limited if use exceeds 5GB per month. Internet browsing does not include: hosted computer applications, continuous web camera or broadcast, automatic data feeds, machine-to-machine connections, peer to peer (P2P) connections or other applications that denigrate network capacity or functionality.”
5GB limit?!? On average, I use more than 200GB a month.
At least Cricket Communication’s Wireless Internet Service is clear with its terms of service. I’m using Clearwire and they degrade my service every time I use Joost. Piece of sh*t Clearwire.
