HTC has outed its latest 4G smartphone, and though the dual-core HTC EVO 4G+ WiMAX handset is initially intended for South Korea's WiBro networks, we'd be very surprised if it didn't make it over to North American shores.

SG Comics Presents: AT&T’s 4G Marketing
Last week, we had the launch of two more ’4G’ devices on the AT&T network, the HP Veer 4G and the Samsung Infuse 4G, which sparked new complaints about the carrier’s marketing strategy. Back at CES earlier this year, AT&T had already downgraded the term 4G to their “evolved” 3G network, but this past week, they further downgraded 4G to mean the combination of 3G and a fast backhaul. So, what happens when they actually complete their promised 4G LTE network?

Here's a little help discerning the technical specs from behind the marketing malarkey surrounding the wireless broadband available on the market. Read The Full Story
