From the "what took them so long" department -- AT&T myWireless Mobile
The iPhone has been on the market for almost a year and a half, but it took until last week for AT&T to come up with a way for iPhone owners in the U.S. to be able to manage their accounts from their devices. The new myWireless Mobile app (click opens iTunes) is free and provides much of the functionality of the AT&T Wireless website through a cleanly designed iPhone interface. After loading the 1.7 MB app onto your iPhone, you'll need to enter your wireless number and the password that you've previously set up on the AT&T myWireless website. The app doesn't provide for account creation on the device at this time. Once your account information is validated, you're taken to a Home page that provides several services that you can sign up for, a place to view and pay your bill, a button pointing you to a summary of voice, text, and data plan usage, and a final page where you can sign up for or cancel services. myWireless Mobile is a helpful little app for any AT&T Wireless customer with an iPhone.

AT&T right behind Verizon with on-device account management app
You might recall that Verizon pushed out a handy-dandy account management app for its BlackBerry fleet not long ago, offering a store locator, balance checker, rudimentary feature control, and a handful of other basic tasks all without the pain, suffering, and heartache of dialing into a customer service call center. Now AT&T's followed suit, though not on its many, many BlackBerrys -- instead, it's going after the iPhone crowd with "myWireless Mobile," where users can check usage, modify account settings, and pay their bills. It's a handy (and more importantly, free) little app to have -- let's just see it launch on every other smartphone platform you support, eh, AT&T?[Via Phone Scoop]
