Wondering why your barely-out-of-the-box Droid Charge is already getting a software update? Wonder not more, as it’s merely a tweak for Samsung’s Media Hub application that disables downloads over 3G. It’s a bit a shame, really, as that implies in case you don’t live in an LTE market you would need to be tied to a WiFi hotspot to get your multimedia there, but Verizon claims it is a compromise to “ensure quality and speed.”
Meanwhile, Verizon’s other LTE handset is getting a further boon — the carrier’s extending its free wireless hotspot offer through June 15th for the HTC Thunderbolt , and then you could expect to pay $20 a month for the WiFi tethering privilege. Enjoy it while it lasts, folks.
