US Cellular Offers 6GB Data for $40 in New Promo

To kick off the new year, US Cellular has launched a new promo that gets you 6GB of data for just $40. They are also offering up to $300 in credit for those who switch and other discounts on monthly device connection charges.

The 6GB for $40 is pretty straight forward from what I can tell. At $40, US Cellular is $20 cheaper than Verizon, so that’s something. 

As for the $300 credit, we are looking at a $150 promotional card at the point of sale, followed by another $150 promo card that is mailed later, for those who are new, port a number over, and trade in a phone.

Finally, if you add on a tablet, US Cellular is cutting the connection charge in half, so you would only pay $5 per month.

Additional details can be found below.

With this discount, tablets can be added to a Shared Connect plan for only $5 per month, Home Phone for $10 per month, and the Router + Home Phone for $15 per month, making it easy to share data on multiple devices. This provides more ways to stay connected to people who matter most and access important information quickly and easily.

In addition to the deals mentioned above, if a current customer refers a friend to U.S. Cellular, and the friend chooses to activate a smartphone on a Shared Connect plan, they both will receive $50.

Lenovo, Google Announce First Consumer-Ready Device With Project Tango

Lenovo, in partnership with Google, announced that they are set to release the first consumer-ready device that will feature Project Tango, Google’s software/hardware solution that displays digital data on top of the physical world through a smart device. The device will be powered by a Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm, and to celebrate its arrival, Google is looking for creative developers to enter into an app incubator. 

For those unfamiliar with what Project Tango is and does, it is a mixture of additional exterior sensors and cameras that allows users to map their environments. As an example of what this device is capable of, Lowe’s created an app that allows users to virtually place a fridge or other appliance in their home to see how it will fit, featuring exact dimensions. There are many applications for the technology, and for that very reason, Google is looking to help developers get started on their great ideas for the platform.

“To break new ground in today’s hypercompetitive smartphone and tablet industries, we must take innovation risks – it’s the only way to truly change the way people use mobile technology,” says Chen Xudong, senior vice president and president, Mobile Business Group, Lenovo. “Together with Google we’re breaking down silos by working across mobile hardware and software. Turning our shared vision into reality will create a more holistic product experience that captures the imagination of today’s consumer.”

The Project Tango enabled device is set to launch this summer.
