Verizon gets new prepaid plans, adds Jetpack hotspot to contract-free lineup

Verizon Gets new prepaid plans

Fast payday loans For Every One

And just like that Verizon has revamped its prepaid pricing structure. Starting tomorrow, May 1st, the carrier will be offering unlimited talk and text packaged with 1GB of data for $ 80 a month. The new offering will be available first with the Samsung Illusion, a disappointingly 3G handset, though, one that wont demand a two year commitment to Big Red. Verizon is also adding the Jetpack MiFi 4510L LTE mobile hotspot to its contract-free offerings for $ 130. Prepaid plans for the 4G wireless hotspot start at $ 15 for 250 MB a week, but quickly climb to $ 60 and $ 90 for 3GB and 10GB, respectively. For more info check out the PR after the break.

Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE MiFi 4620L available on April 12th for $49.99 with a two-year contract

via cdn0.sbnation.com

Verizon’s got some news for those of you looking for a travel-ready LTE hotspot. The carrier is set to sell the Novatel Jetpack 4G LTE MiFi 4620L on April 12th at a price of $ 49.99. Of course, you’ll need a two-year contract to get that price, which reflects a $ 50 mail-in rebate. Contracts start at 5GB a month for $ 50. The 4620L doesn’t take a drastic departure from recent MiFi designs, but it does add an OLED display that makes getting system info and navigating device options much easier. While the hotspot runs on Verizon’s LTE network, it’ll connect up to 10 Wi-Fi devices at 3G speeds in over 125 countries. We were pleased with the device’s performance when we saw it at CES, so if you’re in the market for a new hotspot (and a two-year…

‘Fruit Ninja Kinect’ sells 500,000 on 360, ‘Jetpack Joyride’ downloaded 14 million times

Fruit Ninja Kinect

Fruit Ninja may be best known as a multi-million selling mobile game where you get to slice oranges with a sword, but now it’s a successful Xbox 360 game, too. Halfbrick today revealed that Fruit Ninja Kinect sold 500,000 copies since being released last August, proving that the franchise has reach outside of the mobile space. It also announced that iOS hit Jetpack Joyride has been downloaded 14 million times, experiencing explosive growth since going free last October. Prior to the freemium switch, the game had been downloaded one million times. Since then numbers have skyrocketed by 13 million, showing how much a difference even $ 1 can make. And there’s more to come, with an update due to launch in the next month, described by…

Verizon’s ZTE Jetpack flies through FCC, arrival time still unknown

Do you wish you had your own personal Jetpack? Well, you may not have to wait much longer for ZTE’s version — the EuFi I890, announced at CES last month — to come out, if its entry into the records of the FCC are any indication. It may not be the kind that you strap onto your back, but at least this one takes advantage of Verizon’s LTE, and it happens to add in CDMA / EVDO and AT&T-compatible 3G radios. We knew the 4G-packing MiFi was going to hit stores in “the coming weeks,” so this is essentially just one step closer to achieving that goal — unfortunately, we still don’t have a solid date yet. Hit the source link if you’re into digging through government documents.

Verizon’s ZTE Jetpack hands-on

Verizon launched two new mobile hotspots at CES, both called Jetpack. We found the ZTE entry — the Verizon device has all the branding — and gave it a quick once over. The device itself is quite big for a mobile hotspot, measuring 88mm x 88mm x 18mm, though finish and materials are slick. The menu system is easy to use, buttons responsive, and as seen in the pic above lets you get at settings, SMS messages, and a quick heads up as to how many of the 10 supported clients are currently connected. Power on and off is controlled by a sliding switch, rather than an on off button, which we think is a great idea. Have a gander at the gallery for some more shots.

Novatel Shows Off The Globetrotting Verizon Jetpack Hotspot

novatel

We’re no strangers to Novatel Wireless — their aircards have been saving us on a regular basis this week — and now they’ve swung by our part of the ShowStoppers stage to show off their new Jetpack mobile hotspot for Verizon.

The Verizon Jetpack sports an OLED display and support for Verizon’s 4G LTE network but perhaps more importantly, it also has full support for global roaming. Trying to surf the web in Venice? Go for it! Need a solid data connection outside the Louvre? Not a problem.

Of course, you’ll have to shell out quite a bit for that privilege, but hopefully you’ve got a corporate checkbook picking up that tab. No word yet on availability, but hopefully it arrives before summer rolls around and all you tourists start travelling en masse.

Martin says its jetpack is ‘practical,’ offers crappy computer animation as evidence

Jetpack

Ever wonder what a jetpack is good for, besides fulfilling dreams and fighting Nazis? Well, Martin wants you to know there are, in fact, practical applications for its $ 86,000 personal propulsion system. According to the aviation company everyone from emergency responders to search and rescue teams to military personnel could find a place for the dual-engine craft in their arsenal of tools. Sure, we could see how their ability to get in an out where the size of a helicopter or plane might be prohibitive would prove handy, but their high cost and limited carrying capacity make them a tough sell. That doesn’t mean we don’t enjoying seeing the (poorly) rendered vision of our future filled with jetpacks in the video after the break. Come to think of it, we could see this coming in handy for our CES coverage… excuse us, we need to make some phone calls.

HAHA!: Water Jetpack Morning News Fail

water-jetpack-fail.jpg

This is a brief clip from the Fox 5 San Diego morning news (the same studio from this April Fools’ prank) of a guy opening the show with one of those water-powered jetpacks. Unfortunately, he opted to not take the training course prior to operation and ends up crashing into the dock. Theeeeeeeen the entire news studio laughs at him. Needless to say, Captain Woopsie Daisy won’t be getting his water wings pin anytime soon.

Hit the jump for the woopsie-daisy in action. Also, Kevin Jonas: when we get our hands on one of these things, you get to go first.

For Your Friday: Skiing With A Jetpack On

PopMech has bit of whimsy for your Friday afternoon: a man using a massive jetpack to shoot himself through space on skis.

The skier, Troy Hartman, initially wanted to drop out of an airplane and fly around with the jetpack on but instead of doing that he strapped it to his back and took a few moguls, burning his jacket in the process. Just goes to show that maybe we’re all sitting around in our offices too much.

Motorola Xoom rooted in two hours flat, sinister transforming exoskeleton jetpack returns in Verizon ad

What’s the first thing you’re going to do with your Motorola Xoom? If you’re Koush, the answer’s clear — install your very own ClockworkMod recovery image and ROM Manager, and grant the latter superuser permissions. That’s right, on the very day of release, the Motorola Xoom’s all but ready for custom builds of Android and all the joy they bring.

Meanwhile, Verizon’s decided to bring us the latter half of the abruptly cut Xoom TV ad, which actually differs significantly depending on whether or not Spanish is your primary language. Either way, it’s a fairly sordid affair, with no Iron Man feats of stratospheric skill to be found, merely a quick demonstration of gaming with the accelerometer and a few quick swipes through Honeycomb. You’ll still watch it if we tell you it’s after the break though, won’t you?
