The Juice: A Little Something Extra for your morning

T-Mobile says it's got the only phone you need

Internet

If you're not already lined up to buy an iPhone on Friday, T-Mobile has another suggestion. It launches its HotSpot @Home service today, a new option that not only one-ups its competitors in the cell phone market, but also traditional landlines and voice over Internet services.

The service can pass a mobile phone call from a cellular network to a Wi-Fi wireless router in your home or public T-Mobile hotspot with no interruption to the conversation. And if that's not a sweet enough deal, T-Mobile says when a call is connected via Wi-Fi, it won't even use monthly plan minutes.

OK here's the catch: You will have to shell out cash for one of two new HotSpot-compatible mobile phones (and a wireless router and high-speed Internet if you don't already have them).

Marketplace Confessional

I've just listened to Mr. Stein's concern for the poor working man. No doubt he drove his Bronco to the station to make his plea for the common man. Honestly, Ben Stein weeping for the common man's fate? After my sides stopped hurting from laughing ...
