AT&T announces deals with OpenPeak, Zeebo, American Security Logistics

Well, it looks like AT&T is maintaining a steady pace with its non-cellphone news during CTIA (in addition to cellphone news, of course), with it now following up yesterday's announcements with another three. That includes a deal with OpenPeak that will see AT&T provide 3G service for the company's OpenTablet device (now slated to be available in "late 2010"), and an agreement with Zeebo to provide mobile broadband for the company's gaming / entertainment / education console. That's currently only available Brazil and Mexico, but Zeebo is apparently "planning for commercial opportunities in the domestic market " sometime next year. Rounding things out (for now) is a deal with American Security Logistics, which has announced that it will be using AT&T to wirelessly connect a whole range of location-based tracking devices -- including everything from cargo shipments to pet tracking to Alzheimer's patient monitoring. Alright, AT&T. Anything else left up your sleeve? A 3G-equipped sleeve, perhaps?

[hdawggy Posted Mar 24th 2010 2:12PM]

@elijahblake
I know right... 100,000 apps... my ass... only for one phone... that doesn't count not even close!

Roll on Cowboy

i know its COMPLETELY off topic
but that evo...WOW

[InspectorEngadget Posted Mar 24th 2010 1:53PM]

Yeah...so it's pretty obvious by now that the iPad isn't going to do for mobile content what the iPod did for music. It's a new game, Apple. Adapt.

[bullshitexpresscom Posted Mar 24th 2010 3:08PM]

@InspectorEngadget LOL. Yes, they should keep up. Like a person using a 20 year old cartoon keeps up.

[InspectorEngadget Posted Mar 24th 2010 3:12PM]

@bullshitexpresscom You can't kill a classic...

[steel Posted Mar 24th 2010 1:53PM]

AT&T: We can't keep up with the iPhone's needs, but we got all of the other new devices covered.

[mlief Posted Mar 24th 2010 1:55PM]

Where's AT&T getting the network/bandwidth for all these partnerships and companies to desire them? They barely can handle the iPhone usage...I'm confused.

[Viakenny Posted Mar 24th 2010 1:59PM]

Zeebo: it's basically a data-only 3G cellphone you connect to your TV to play (dumbphone-grade) video games.

[KAL326 Posted Mar 24th 2010 2:01PM]

OpenPeak sounds like it belongs next to the Shady Lady.

[erwos Posted Mar 24th 2010 2:04PM]

Where's that national femtocell announcement SFGate had mentioned?

[TheFinch Posted Mar 24th 2010 2:05PM]

That's some quality photoshop where part of the person's right hand is cut off at the bottom of the tablet...

@TheFinch

Nope, the coffee table is part of the tablet's kickstand. His hand actually goes partly under it~

[savagemike Posted Mar 24th 2010 2:06PM]

"slated to be available"
.....yhahahahahahahahahaha
knee slapper.

[kiyu727 Posted Mar 24th 2010 2:07PM]

I dont like this photoshopped pic ...

[Showbiz Posted Mar 24th 2010 3:27PM]

Yes, makes sense since ATT has proven so well that their network can handle any traffic.
Even if I was an avid iPhone person, I would be looking at all this stuff coming down the pipe. Then look at my dropped calls and 3G coverage and get the hell out of my contract.

[NewL Posted Mar 24th 2010 3:52PM]

Whoa, that photoshop makes puppies cry.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 24th 2010 5:42PM]

@NewL

LOL at crying puppies.

[Oxyrt Posted Mar 24th 2010 4:02PM]

Where's my HTC Desire??

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 24th 2010 4:33PM]

What, no love for the JooJoo, AT&T?? Come on!

[HellcatM Posted Mar 24th 2010 5:27PM]

Why are all these companies going with AT&T anyway. They have the worse customer service and the worse service period, plus they charge the most. If I were a company I'd go with every company but AT&T. This'll be an epic fail!

[kegster8 Posted Mar 24th 2010 6:25PM]

Did anyone else catch the "(now slated to be available in "late 2010")" pun?

[rcc Posted Mar 24th 2010 6:37PM]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

Say, AT&T ? How 'bout just letting us know when you plan to stop selling your first born to Apple so you can get some REAL 'smart' phone options like the HD2, Supersonic...? When's the Dell mini 5 coming? How 'bout leaking some Courier news? At least let us know if that jewel's meant for you or not.

I need a smart phone and it's NOT in your stores yet. Dudes. Don't make me switch carriers!!!!! WE WANT ACTIONABLE NEWS, AT&T !!!!

[HellcatM Posted Mar 24th 2010 6:48PM]

@rcc

AT&T and Apple belong together, they leech off each other. AT&T kisses Apples ass and does what ever diabolical thing Apple asks of them to keep the iphone and AT&T's subs get higher because they have the iphone. Its a match made in hell which is where they both should go.

I hope the Courier goes anywhere but AT&T, let it go to Verizon, Sprint (probably not) or T-Mobiel (even less likely). PLEASE don't let it go to AT&T. Plus AT&T I haven't heard anything about the Nokia netbook thats with AT&T, I'm guessing its not selling well. They also just mentioned this deal with Zeebo so Courier has to go with someone else. If it comes out early enough maybe they'll do Sprint with 4G and see if marketing it that way will work? Stranger things have happened.

[JibSmack Posted Mar 24th 2010 6:48PM]

If it's not a phone, how come the top left icon says phone???

[ClockMenace Posted Mar 25th 2010 8:46AM]

Hmm...just the look of it, I like it more than the iPad.

[Nightwheel Posted Mar 25th 2010 10:25AM]

I was wondering when the Zeebo was going to make the jump the the states. I guess I know when now.
