Apple (AAPL) stock climbed above the $200 mark in after hours trading after the company released its Fiscal Q4 results. Strong iPhone and Macintosh sales helped Apple's earnings rise 46%.

Over the past few weeks, Verizon has been slamming the iPhone with ads such as "there's a map for that," which points out the well-publicized issues with the iPhone and AT&T's network. They've also been announcing a series of Google Android phones, and their latest spot (nicknamed iDroid or simply the Droid commercial), about the Verizon Droid device, hits the iPhone right where it iCan.

AT&T is about the set MMS free for iPhone users. The lack of the iPhone's MMS on the flagship network for the device, AT&T, has been a source of embarrassment for the carrier since iPhone OS 3.0 and the iPhone 3GS launched earlier this year. The feature should go live later today sometime, barring any unforeseen issues. I say: so?

An AT&T sales rep in Charlotte, NC, where their MicroCell trial is taking place, has corrected the pricing numbers for AT&T's femtocell device, designed to fix issues with holes in AT&T coverage. While initial reports showed a somewhat egregious $19.95 service fee for monthly service, it now appears that's only if someone wants unlimited talk time.

AT&T, the nation's largest private employer of union labor, has managed to "strike" a deal (pun intended) with Communications Workers of America (CWA) District 9. The tentative deal would institute a new three-year contract for 23,000 employees in California and Nevada.

Another year, another new iPhone, and another long line to wait in? Yes, it's true, but things are not quite as hysterical, panicky, crazy, however you want to call it.

Oof. Many have wondered just how Kris Allen won American Idol last week, as Adam Lambert had been the favorite for much the season. A report in the New York Times points a finger straight at American Idol sponsor AT&T, and may have created a new term to boot: texting irregularities.

It was rumored earlier that AT&T was working on infrastructure upgrades prior to launch of the "new" iPhone later this year. It looks like those upgrades are now confirmed.

AdMob's latest Mobile Metrics Report (.PDF), released Tuesday, shows that 50% of the United States smartphone web traffic is coming from iPhones.

On Wednesday, T-Mobile's G1 Android-based phone made its retail appearance (it was previously only available via pre-order to existing T-Mobile customers). T-Mobile opened all of its retail storefronts at 8 AM, anticipating increased demand.

You'll recall that despite its recently-filed lawsuit against the FCC over P2P-throttling practices, Comcast agreed it would still detail its network management policies to the organization, as originally ordered. On Friday Comcast provided that documentation to the FCC.
