If Apple created the first round of disruption to the business-as-usual lethargy infecting the cellphone industry then Google appears poised to bring round two. When looking around at choices, it’s the Android OS backed by Google’s cloud-based services and the 50k app-strong Android Market we usually find underpinning the sexiest and most powerful hardware on the market.

There’s nothing groundbreaking in here, but AT&T has just thrown up a good one-page summary of how this whole WWAN thing is going to go down for new iPad 3G owners come this Friday . As we’ve already known, you’ll be paying $14.99 for 250MB or $29.99 for unlimited (yes, truly unlimited with no 5GB cap) data in addition to free access to AT&T’s comprehensive collection of WiFi hotspots — perhaps the more interesting bits, though, have to do with plan management on the 250MB setup. Basically, you’ll get a warning on your iPad when you get to 20 percent of your allowance remaining, then again at 10 percent, and finally when you run out; at each message, you’ll have the chance to re-up (of course, if you find yourself blowing through 250MB on a regular basis, you probably want the unlimited plan anyhow)

Remember those rumors back in the day that Dell’s Android-powered Streak MID — the device that would later be revealed as the Mini 5 — would be manufactured by Qisda ? Well, we’ve got some pretty solid proof of that now that it’s hit the FCC under Qisda’s name. What you see on the left is the label submitted in today’s filing for a device called the Qisda M01M; on the right, you have a shot from that pictorial of a device in Shenzhen of the same name
