The word is, ongoing negotiations between AT&T and the Communications Workers of America have halted with a result of nothing definite on what to expect, so America could well be facing the largest strike since 1997.
Talks have taken a downturn as AT&T threaten to take an axe to employee healthcare, and the union didn?t like the new contract proposal and is preparing its 90,000 strong workforce for strike action according to a post on mp3newswire
As AT&T have an exclusivity deal with Apple for the Apple iPhone, if this strike happens Apple iPhone services could well be in serious trouble, and if the strike goes on for an extended amount of time many customers could begin to look elsewhere, and simple put, Apple could only sit back and watch as the strike action hampers iPhone sales.

Looks like Samsung is looking towards pushing out some aroma mobile handsets in the future, as according to cellpassion, Samsung’s latest patent application is for a fragrance strip embedded into the mobile handset.
Basically Samsung wants to embed a smelly strip into the slider mechanism of a slide handset and/or the hinge of their clamshell form factor handsets and thus every time a user opens their handset friction put against the fragrance strip will release the smell.
There?s nothing about whether the user will be able to replace the strip once it runs out of smelliness though.

If you are an owner of the BlackBerry Bold and still running BlackBerry Bold OS 4.6+ there?s a new unofficial OS update available in the form of OS 4.6.0.266 according to CrackBerry.
Some BlackBerry Bold users may have already updated to the leaked version of OS 5.0, but if not then you can always update to this new leaked OS 4.6.0.266 version.
As usual though, 4.6.0.266 is an unofficial OS update and not supported by Research In Motion or your carrier, and thus if you choose to install OS 4.6.0.226 it will be at your own risk.

Well now, according to electronista, we may just be getting Windows Mobile 6.5 a little earlier than first expected as the word is that Windows Mobile 6.5 is to launch on May the 11th.
Of course the May 11th date also coincides with Microsoft?s TechEd 2009 conference, so no doubt we will be seeing Windows Mobile 6.5 being demoed there.
The thing is even when Windows Mobile 6.5 is officially launched it will still be up to the carriers and mobile handset manufacturers as to just when the public will finally see Windows Mobile 6.5 loaded onto mobile devices,
