Today's Story Highlights

AT&T Rings In LTE With Skyrocket Launch
AT&T on Monday announced the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and the HTC
Vivid. These are the carrier's first Android smartphones to run on its
4G LTE network. They will be on the market Nov. 6. On that day, AT&T
will also launch 4G LTE services in four new markets -- Boston,
Washington, Baltimore and Athens, Ga.

Android Apps Get Big Break on Google TV
Google unveiled a software update for Google TV on Friday that includes
a slew of apps. These are based on Android 3.1, said Google spokesperson
Jacques Herbert. This is the latest version of the so-called "Honeycomb"
release. An update based on Honeycomb has been
expected for a while.

Battery Blues Won't Bring iPhone 4S Down
The iPhone 4S seems to have a battery life that's far shorter than it
ought to be. Some owners of the quick-draining devices reportedly have
been asked by Apple to install monitoring programs on the phone to help
diagnose the problem. The culprit could be a bug in iOS 5 that causes
the Setting Time Zone function to keep location-tracking running
constantly.

Which Tech Giant Will Own the Future?
Over the years, it has often seemed like the companies in power have
people inside who can accurately see the future but are often cursed by
people running the business who can't or won't execute against that
vision. They are able to see the future but in some terrible parody of
the cursed Greek prophetess Cassandra, who could see but not change the
future, they are unable to benefit from it.

Slow Shutter Cam: A Great App for Blurring Photos on Purpose
For me, there are three basic kinds of apps: those that I use frequently
and can't live without; those that provide diversions of one form or
another; and in-the-moment apps. Slow Shutter Cam is what I call an "in-
the-moment app" because, well, it's basically useless until you have a
reason to tap it to life. Another way to think about it is like a tool
for your toolbox of photography apps.
