AT&T officially announced their mobile TV, MediaFLO service just a few weeks ago with an original expectation to have the service go live sometime in May. Well it turns out that that timeframe will hold true, and the service is now expected rumored to launch on May 4, it will also officially be called AT&T Mobile TV.

Initially there will be three options available to subscribe to, a Limited, Basic and Plus Plan that will cost either $13, $15 or $30 a month respectively.

The Limited Plan will include Fox Mobile, CBS Mobile, NBC, and NBC News, the Basic Plan will include the same as the Limited Plan with the addition of Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, CNN Mobile and ESPN and the Plus Plan will include all of the previously mentioned channels along with an exclusive channel from Sony Pictures.

With the plans priced as they are lets just hope that the exclusive Sony Pictures channel is really worth that extra $15.

In a move that can only be described as shocking, Microsoft has announced price cuts on Windows Vista. The price cuts affect the higher versions and will lower price for the full version of Vista Ultimate from $399 to $319, with the upgrade price dropping from $259 to $219. Vista Home Premium will drop from $159 down to $129. In addition to those lower prices, Microsoft will also remove the difference between the full and upgrade version on Home Basic and Home Premium, which will put the full version at the previous upgrade prices.

The real question here is whether or not this will convince more people to upgrade to Vista. While some of the versions were a little pricey to begin with, it seems a lot of the complaints about Vista were due to usability and not pricing.
