This has been in the works since mid-December, and both companies still need Apple's sign-off before the new 3G SlingPlayer app is available. And don't worry: if you'd previously purchased the $30 Wi-Fi only app, you'll get a free upgrade once the new version is available.
As for what it will do to AT&T's already clogged 3G network, only time and a few dozen dropped calls will tell. [NY Times]

This is the money they can play with. First, Microsoft with $40.4 billion in the bank. That's actual rupees plus short and long term securities. Apple follows up closely with $39.8 billion, while Google trails way behind with only $24 billion. And the almighty Intel? $18.9 billion.
Yes baby. I can't wait for the nuclear ballistic missiles to start filling the skies. [Silicon Insider]

• Records two images at 1920 x 1080 as individual RAW files in DNG format.
• Color depth: 12 bits.
• Speed: 25 or 30 frames per second.
The Ikonoskop A-cam3D is built using the same tech as the 2D Ikonoskop A-Cam. It's also built to order, so it probably is prohibitively expensive. And to be honest, I don't even know if I would like a 3D camera. Maybe it would be fun to film some home porn with it, but I'm sure the excitement would die quite quickly. Would you like to shoot your videos in 3D? Tell us in the comments. [Ikonoskop via Engadget]
Of course, I'd rather have a camcorder shooting 1080p like the SH1 and CS1, but what's a few less lines between friends? The CG20 and CG102 are both pistol-grip models, with the GH2 coming in a minute barrel shape. Specs-wise, the GH2 and CG102 take photos with a 14.4-megapixel sensor, with the CG20 a 10.7-megapixel one.
A "double-range zoom" on the first two models means you can switch between 5x and 12x zoom.
Expect all three to go on sale in March, with the GH2 and CG102 pricier at $229 and the CG20 just $199. [Electronista]
Except that HT4Sight is real, and available to anyone with deep enough pockets. The system allows anyone to route video signals from UAVs—or any aerial surveillance craft or satellite—to any cellphone around the world, using an encrypted data signal. The signal gets transmitted in real time to a command center. Then, HT4Sight compresses and encrypts the video, sending the stream to any phone in a cellular, Wi-Fi, or satellite network.
