We’ve known about Verizon’s plan to introduce family shared data plans for quite some time now and have been patiently awaiting their release. It now appears we may see them soon as new images have popped up suggesting Verizon is in the end stages of development. PhoneArena managed to get their hands on a screenshot showing what appears to be Verizon’s future Family Data Usage Calculator. If it looks familiar to you it’s because it follows closely with Verizon’s current Data Usage Calculator which helps customers figure out which plan would best fit their data usage needs.
T-Mobile’s myTouch line just hasn’t been the same since HTC stopped manufacturing it but nevertheless it lives on. The next iteration is being manufactured by Huawei and has been spotted showing its wares in some candid photos. Not much to get excited about as it’s slated to be a mid-range ‘family’ marketed device.

Anyone up for another Samsung Galaxy S III rumor? Even if you’re not, you’re getting one since there’s not much else to talk about. According to Korean publication DDaily, the Samsung Galaxy S III will have a built-in inductive charger capable of receiving a charge from a power source up to 2 meters away. Why they stopped at 2 meters is beyond me, I mean it’s a rumor, they should have blew our minds with something like 10 meters away. Now that would be a rumor! While inductive charging isn’t a new concept, this would be the first device able to pull a charge from a couple meters away.
Welcome to Monday’s Apps For Kids, a new Cult of Android feature where we take a look at kid-centric apps. Many of us are parents with kids who seem to know their way around our mobile devices better than we do.

So grab whatever crayon is lying around and get ready to write down a few apps worth checking out.
