The After Math: The (homemade) hammer of Thor, Virgin space flights and an atomic movie
Author: Heather Brown
Welcome to The After Math, where we attempt to summarize this week’s tech news through numbers, decimal places and percentages.
This week’s After Math appears to have taken on a comic book theme. Want to make your own Thor hammer? How about your very own Atomic Watch — rather than those radio-wave-based excuses of a timepiece? We’ve also got the very real prospect of civilian flights to outer space and, er, Kobe Bryant advertising Lenovo smartphones. Stranger things have happened, right? Join us after the break.

The Engadget Interview: Sir Richard Branson on Virgin Galactic and space tourism for the everyman
Author: Brandon Zimmerman
It’s been a particularly good week for Sir Richard Branson. SpaceShipTwo, Virgin Galactic’s sub-orbital peoplecarrier broke the sound barrier for the first time, and Virgin America began service into San Jose, California. Sir Richard was in town to welcome VA’s first San Jose arrival, and we jumped at the chance to chat with him, even if only for a few minutes.
Our conversation revolved around Virgin Galactic’s latest milestone on its journey towards ferrying the masses to the stars. Naturally, we wanted to know his plan to make space travel affordable for us non-billionaires, as the current cost of a Virgin Galactic ticket is a cool $ 200K quarter million dollars. His solution? A combination of more spacecraft, more spaceports and the most prolific satellite delivery service in history.

Virgin Mobile offers $100 rebate to T-Mobile turncoats, now through May 31st
Author:
In the wake of T-Mobile’s recently unveiled Simple Choice blueprints, Virgin Mobile is taking advantage of the shakeup by playing a value card of its own. Now with May 31st, the Sprint-owned MVNO is providing $ 100 credit to all T-Mobile subscribers eager to port their number to Virgin Mobile. Research the numbers for yourself and the deal seems a no-brainer, as Virgin matches T-Mobile’s unlimited scheme with a monthly bill of just $ 55, which supplants $ 5 less than the UnCarrier’s $ 60 (2.5 GB) alternative. Naturally, that’s where Virgin Mobile hopes the conversation ends, however we don’t should inform you that there’s rather a distinction in speed in between Virgin’s EV-DO / WiMAX service and the faster HSPA+ / LTE option from T-Mobile. That said, if your inner cheapskate is tingling, you’ll now find an extra $ 100 incentive to make the switch.

YouTube takes to the skies with Virgin America content deal
Author: James Cliff
Admittedly, we’re more likely to hit up YouTube for its entertaining and strange amateur content than to appear on one of those well-funded Original Programs, but that will not necessarily be the case going forward. Several of the website’s initial programs venues will quickly be offered with Virgin America’s in-flight enjoyment system– “H + The Digital Series,” “Blue,” “Written by a Children,” “Crash Course” and “The Trick of Awesome” are expected to hit airplane beginning December 15th, according to Range.
Sure, you could possibly browse to YouTube by yourself with the carrier’s in-flight WiFi, but you’ll quickly be able to take pleasure in a minimum of a couple of titles in (most likely) greater quality through the 9-inch panel mounted to the seat in front of you, while liberating data transfer for those hardworking business tourists (and a few periodic Engadget editors) at the same time. These most current YouTube choices sign up with a variety of other content one-of-a-kind to Virgin, and thinking about that legacy providers equip their IFE with “classic” flicks and a miserable choice of dated TV shows (presuming they supply the service at all), the nation’s “fun” option airline is starting to look more appealing.

Bell, Virgin Mobile Canada reportedly start unlocking iPhones, at a steep cost
Author: Dave Adams
Canadians have had the option to buy a factory-unlocked iPhone for awhile, but liberating Apple’s handset after the sale has been officially limited to Rogers and Fido customers. As long as MobileSyrup‘s leak is the real deal, though, subscribers to Bell and its Virgin Mobile branch can spring for an unlock as of today. That’s good news for many, although the hurdle is once again the carrier’s desire to keep customers from jumping ship. Those pursuing an unlock will supposedly need to be out of contract, skip any prepaid plans and pay a $ 75 fee — in short, they’re more likely to derestrict an old, well-worn iPhone than the iPhone 5 they bought last week. We’ll just be happy to have another route to hardware independence, and hope that the mention of widened unlock eligibility in 2013 is more than just a rumor.

Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 reportedly headed to Virgin Mobile in Canada
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Since being unveiled a long, long time ago, the Galaxy Ace 2 has seen its younger S III brother grab all the praising headlines — oh, and we can say the same about its other bodacious, note-friendly sibling. Still, we have a feeling some Canadian Virgin Mobile customers would welcome one of Sammy’s lesser-specced family members with open arms hands. Well, according to MobileSyrup, the Ace 2 is exactly what folks using the prepaid carrier can expect come this holiday season, making the trip across the Atlantic with a rumored contract-free price tag of somewhere between $ 200 to $ 250. To give you a quick refresh, this Gingerbread handset boasts a 3.7-inch, HVGA display, a humble dual-core, 800MHz CPU alongside 768MB of RAM, 4GB of built-in storage and a decent 1,500mAh battery. We should be hearing more detailed info in the coming weeks, but while we wait for that, you could always revise our hands-on meeting with the Ace 2.

Author: Christen Arquette
It’s rarely that we see smartphones with physical QWERTY keyboards and Android 4.0 (hell, it’s rarely that we see smartphones with physical keyboards at all anymore), but the Kyocera Increase coming in on Virgin Mobile today has merely that. A penny under a Benjamin will grant you access to the Rise’s 3.5-inch HVGA display, single-core 1GHz processor, 3.2-megapixel video camera, and, of course, that four-row keyboard. The Surge is readily available in shops and online now, and can easily be combined with Virgin’s Beyond Plans that provide unlimited data and messaging beginning at $ 35 per month.
