This limited edition, raw machined case looks straight from Q’s lab, and is as spy worthy as your iPhone can get. After machining, a brushed grain is added by hand. Except for the Serial number on the inside of this case, there are no visible markings. This case is right at home in the pocket of your black tux… even if it is just rented.

According to a well placed source of ours, AT&T will be altering its data plan offerings for LaptopConnect devices this Sunday. Devices that utilize LaptopConnect data plans include data sticks, MiFis, and connected netbooks. Currently, AT&T offers a 200MB monthly plan for $35 or a 5GB monthly plan for $60… not all that savory. After this weekend, however, the company will bring its offerings more inline with those its cnemesis, Verizon Wireless. Ma’ Bell will begin offering a 3GB monthly data plan for $30 and a 5GB monthly plan for $50. Much more savory. We should see an announcement either Sunday or Monday. What do you think?

Look what weve found! This is the first image youll see anywhere of the early fruit of Microsoft and Nokias budding new partnership. We have it on good authority that the technicolor phones on show are conceptual devices produced by the two companies. You shouldnt, therefore, go jumping to conclusions about retail hardware just yet, but hearts should be warmed by the familiarity of Nokias new design — the shape of these handsets is somewhere between its recent N8 and C7 Symbian devices and there is, as usual for Nokia, a choice of sprightly colors. The trio of keys adorning the new concepts bottom give away its Windows Phone 7 ties, but also remind us that the N8 and E7 are highly unlikely to receive any WP7 upgrade love. The best part about this whole discovery, however, might be that it confirms Steve Ballmers assertion that the engineers of both companies have “spent a lot of time on this already.” So, who else is excited about owning an Engadget-blue Microkia device?

Global Crossing has weighed in on the peering debate in a Friday letter to the FCC that argued ISPs were trying to use peering as a smokescreen to charge content delivery networks and web service providers more for access to their subscribers. The backbone provider submitted its comments tied to the argument between Level 3 and Comcast that essentially questions who should pay for the increased traffic load associated with delivering Netflix content to Comcast’s 16.7 million broadband subscribers. This is the two-sided business model I argued that Comcast was trying to implement when I said the Comcast Level 3 argument might break the web…

There she is, the HP TouchPad. It’s the webOS
slate we’ve been yearning for ever since probing (then) Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein on our first-ever Engadget Show, but sadly, it looks as if HP has yanked any and all Palm labeling from the final product. Introduced today in San Francisco as part of a newfangled webOS triumvirate, the TouchPad (previously known by Topaz) is shaped almost exactly like the iPad. It tips the scales at 1.6 pounds and measures 13.7mm thick, which is somewhat of a downer for those already put off by the heft found in Apple’s slate. As we’d heard last month, HP’s shipping this one with its own Beats audio engine, Touch-to-Share (a feature that lets users easily transfer a website, document, song, text or call from the phone to the tablet — or vice versa — simply by tapping the two devices together) and a huge reliance on the cloud. Also of note, Jon just mentioned that this is only the “first in the webOS TouchPad family,” hinting that the Opal may obe just around the bend.
