AT&T's $3 billion in earnings are up 26% over the year ago quarter, and particularly hot on the wireless front with 3.1 million iPhone activations, 2.7 million new wireless customers, and 1 million non-phone devices like e-book readers. While the 2.7 million bests the 2.2 million newbies at Verizon Wireless, AT&T gained less customers on contract thanks to its any-device-goes ways, so it's hard to say who's really in the best position here. Still, with devices like the Kindle (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Kindle/), Nook (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Nook/), Sony Reader (http://www.engadget.com/tag/SonyReader/) and now iPad (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/the-apple-ipad/) in its fold, AT&T is clearly the go-to for getting your not-a-phone onto the internet. Now if only it could do it, um, well.AT&T activated 3.1 million iPhones last quarter, 1 million non-phones (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/atandt-activated-3-1-million-iphones-last-quarter-1-million-non-p/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Thu, 28 Jan 2010 11:44:00 EST.
