Evan — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 05:16:21 +0000

In GDocs Export, prior to version v2.0.1, I had overlooked a rather serious issue with mobile development.

A while ago, I published an article debunking what AT&T was calling a 4G network and devices. There are currently 2 “4G” handsets on AT&T’s network, the HTC Inspire 4G and the Motorola Atrix 4G.
