January’s consumer electronics onslaught seems to be slowing down, with attention in February turning to Mobile World Congress in February and CTIA later in March.

Today, a note on an AT&T developer conference at the CTIA event — including what could be some of the first details about its Android plans — plus T-Mobile rumors, LTE patent pool talk and more.

Mobile operator developer conferences became all the rage with Verizon’s ODI effort; AT&T’s day at CTIA will feature and app contest with Brew, Android, Java/RIM, and Open categories — what, no iPhone? Guess that’s one platform they don’t need to entice developers to developer for.android

Frequent rumors re-appear, with more force? Look for some analysis from our wireless editor, Kevin Fitchard later this a.m.

Despite the challenge to its network, AT&T has benefited greatly from its Apple relationship. Looks like it may remain exclusive a little while longer.

The low-cost hardware specialist meets the low-cost software specialist — if Google’s looking to drive Android market share around the globe it could do worse than work with Huawei.

AT&T and Apple have both cleared the way. Smaller players like Truphone and Fring are interesting but real test of VoIP over 3G will be a true Skype client.

What data center today isn’t engineered for shared tenant, virtualized computing capabilities, right? But shows IBM’s commitment to the concept.
