For instance, you get a call from a coworker, who says "Did you read the boss's email?" You say, "I can right now." This is a feature other phone companies don't allow, apparently. As such, these seem like they're part of the AT&T/Apple vs. Verizon/Droid advertising war.

WASHINGTON, Nov 23, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
AT&T* today announced plans to support the new National Lab Day partnership, an initiative to foster collaboration between researchers, students and educators to enhance science and math learning opportunities.
Announced today by President Obama, National Lab Day will occur annually in the first week of May. It is designed as a nationwide initiative to foster scientific and mathematic experimentation and invention in young Americans. Scientists, engineers, college students, parents and others will work together with educators and students to improve labs and inquiry-based science experiences for children in grades 6 through 12.
AT&T Labs researchers will support the initiative by working directly with educators to develop and implement engaging lab-based experiments and lessons for students. The work will expand a long AT&T Labs history of university collaboration and volunteer support of educational programs at all levels.
"Collaboration is at the heart of innovation today, with a wide range of new ideas, technologies and capabilities emerging from the combined efforts of private industry, the public sector and learning institutions," said AT&T Chief Technology Officer John Donovan. "We're very excited to participate in the National Lab Day initiative, which applies the same collaborative concept to advancing math and science education. Through this program, our researchers will have new opportunities to share their passion for knowledge with a new generation, serving as direct resources for educators in developing and delivering high-impact lessons and lab experiences."
Building from a heritage that has produced eight Nobel Prizes, the 1,200 researchers and engineers at AT&T Labs today play a leading role in the research that drives new communications capabilities, data management advances, and wireless and wired network technologies. AT&T's long heritage of innovation is matched by a strong commitment to education, including AT&T Aspire program, which provides grants, job-shadow programs and other activities to promote continuing education for high school students.

DALLAS, Nov 23, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
Connecting associates around the world and collaborating with clients is now a quicker, more interactive process for global healthcare solutions provider Cerner (Nasdaq: CERN). Cerner began using the AT&T* Telepresence Solution, an immersive video technology that connects remote participants, earlier this year to help respond to client service requests in a timely manner and to conduct virtual business meetings with its associates, clients and business partners around the world.
"The AT&T Telepresence Solution allows Cerner to virtually connect our workforce around the world to share knowledge and tackle complex issues," said Kevin Smyth, Cerner vice president and chief information officer. "Our associates, clients and partners are building a sense of community and teamwork by virtually sitting in a room together to conduct meetings and work collaboratively on projects."
The AT&T Telepresence Solution, enabled by Cisco TelePresence(TM), allows team members from locations around the world to interact face-to-face through ultra-high definition 1080p screens. Telepresence is an immersive video technology that creates the experience of being in the same room with remote participants, whether they are down the street or halfway around the world. Participants sit across the table from "actual-size" video of their colleagues and can converse through spatial, wide-band audio. The AT&T Telepresence Solution allows teams to collaborate in real-time across AT&T's reliable network. The AT&T Telepresence Solution provides AT&T-owned Cisco TelePresence equipment, installation, full monitoring and management of the application, network provisioning (including AT&T Virtual Private Network transport), remote help desk service and on-site equipment maintenance and repair.
Cerner is using the AT&T Telepresence Solution to provide an "in-person" meeting experience to facilitate cross-continent collaboration with its leadership teams and technical support teams. The initial five-room deployment includes locations in the U.S. and the United Kingdom, with plans to expand into France, India and other countries. The AT&T Telepresence Solution is helping Cerner:
-- Improve collaboration with clients and associates around the world;
-- Reduce the time and expense associated with some onsite client support
calls;
-- Connect with member companies on the AT&T Business Exchange to share
ideas.
"IT healthcare spending has become more critical than ever, and healthcare organizations ranging from single-doctor practices to entire countries continue to turn to Cerner for its innovative solutions," said Roman Pacewicz, senior vice president, Strategy and Application Services, AT&T Business Solutions. "We are pleased to welcome Cerner as an anchor tenant in the healthcare vertical on the AT&T Business Exchange and look forward to growing the ecosystem with their proven leadership and expertise."
As a subscriber to the AT&T Telepresence Solution, Cerner also is joining the AT&T Business Exchange to enable collaboration between its customers, suppliers and business partners. The AT&T Business Exchange is a "meet-me" business-to-business global collaboration capability that allows multiple companies in different locations to connect to one another. More than 30 companies are connecting with one another via hundreds of AT&T Telepresence Solution and Cisco TelePresence sites worldwide via the AT&T Business Exchange feature. Cerner can also establish secure connections with more than 645 other Cisco TelePresence meeting endpoints deployed worldwide for either intra-company or inter-company meetings. As an anchor healthcare tenant on the AT&T Business Exchange, Cerner is facilitating efforts to develop the healthcare ecosystem for AT&T Telepresence Solution customers.
