Several states have begun to fine pedestrians for walking and texting, in order to prevent traffic accidents.  The message is, save the texting for when you’re safely behind the wheel.

In Utah and New Jersey, fines range from $50 to $85.  Reaction to these fines has ranged from LOL to OMG.

Angry mobile customers are blaming their service carriers, who promised them unlimited texting.

Also, a lot of tickets have been issued for sexting while crossing the street, but those were for indecent exposure.

Verizon Wireless will begin selling Apple’s iPhone starting in 2011. Up until now, AT&T has been the only U.S. carrier connected to Apple for distribution of the popular device, but ironically, AT&T can’t seem to hold the connection.
