As shown the charger has a USB connection so you can, at least implemented properly, plug just about any USB-compatible smartphone into it. That would, of course, include AT&T's ...

Location-based services have finally melted our brains to the point where we are completely useless without a constant and immediate access to Google Maps or a reasonable facsimile - we could not fold a sheet of paper if we tried, and even if we could, we would spend an hour in search of pulsating blue dot. That is why we are so happy to hear that AT & T has finally unmasked in its first GPS-enabled USB ...

A group of college students in the San Francisco Bay Area have found a worthy cause for student protests in the form of lousy AT&T coverage.

Google's HTC Nexus One, while available unlocked (always), but subsidized by T-Mobile with a two-year contract.
