AT&T users can now snap up the AT&T USBConnect Quicksilver, one of the smallest 3G HSPA-capable devices out there. The tiny little hub weighs 34 grams and uses the new Icera Livanto chipset, which handles GSM/GPRS/EDGE/3G data. That’ll give you 70 to 135kpbs downloads on an EDGE network, and 700kbps to 1.7 Mbps downloads on HSPA. Best of all, it’s free (if you get it with a two year contract and mail in the $US100 rebate).

For one reason or another, Quicksilver (the guys who make surf clothes) decided to branch out—way out—with their very own mobile phone concept. The phone opens up Pac-Man style to reveal a larger screen, which is interesting, but by the looks of things it would be unwieldy to both carry and use. Stick to making stylish shorts that cover up my junk at the beach, okay guys? [JUSTAMPvia IntoMobile]
