Podcast
AT&T's Take on Shifting Cloud Challenges and Opportunities (33:23)
AT&T has been in the hosting business for more than a decade, but it has
adapted that part of its portfolio thanks to the rapid demand for
cloud-based services. The telecom giant is now taking a range of
offerings to the cloud -- infrastructure, virtual private networks,
storage, platforms -- based on what businesses of all stripes have been
asking for from network providers.

Today's Story Highlights

Samsung's Galaxy Note 8.0 Takes a Poke at iPad Mini
It's a phone, it's a tablet, it's the Galaxy Note 8.0, which Samsung
unveiled this week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. This
device seems to hit the sweet spot between the 5.5-inch Galaxy Note II
phone-tablet hybrid and the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. In terms of size,
it's a step up from many of the 7-inch tablets on the market, including
Samsung's own Galaxy Tab 7.

Consumer Signal Booster: An Electronic Gadget Grows Up
There's a little-known electronic gadget -- one that's generally not
available alongside the colorful big-screen TVs and bass-pounding
sound systems in seductive, sparkly urban consumer-electronics mega-
stores -- that can be a life-changing device, nonetheless. For some
people, it's much more important than the latest 4.7-inch smartphone.

Facebook Blocks Millions of Photos From Instagram-Like App
Step aside, Google: Now it's Facebook's turn to take flak from France. A
few months back, France demanded that Google pay for displaying links to
French media's news articles. Next, a French Internet service provider
demanded that Google pay extra for bandwidth consumed by YouTube.

HP Revives Its Tablet Strategy With a New Slate
HP, battered by its previous forays into the tablet category, tried
again Monday with its announcement of the HP Slate 7 -- a 7-inch Android
tablet -- at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The device will be
available in April for $169. The company's previous tries at tablet
devices -- and mobile operating systems -- have landed with loud thuds
in the marketplace.

Sony's Xperia Tablet Z Can Really Make a Splash
Sony introduced the Xperia Tablet Z on Monday, touting its thin form
factor and powerful components at the Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona. Sony has been in the tablet market since 2011, when it
introduced the Android-powered Tablet S, but the company now seems to be
making a more serious play.
