All of these wrist-mounted fitness gizmos are pretty nifty , but we always wonder how they get those rigid circuit boards into such an unsuitable form-factor. Well, thanks to those scalpel-happy boffins at the FCC’s underground bunker, wonder no more. Nike’s FuelBand was wheeled in on a trolley and torn (quite literally) to pieces, and we felt we just had to share the pictures with you.

We here at Engadget tend to spend a lot of way too much time poring over the latest FCC filings, be it on the net or directly on the ol’ Federal Communications Commission’s site. Since we couldn’t possibly (want to) cover all the stuff that goes down there individually, we’ve gathered up an exhaustive listing of every phone and / or tablet getting the stamp of approval over the last week.

FCC Fridays: January 27, 2012
The FCC boys were clutching at their multimeters in horror when they saw how much work they’d have to do when Sony’s new Xperia S rolled into the bunker. Still, their loss is connectivity’s gain, as the Ericsson-branded (for now, at least) phone packs quad-band GSM / EDGE, 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 UMTS and HSPA, RFID, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, 802.11 WiFi b/g/n and GPS.

A mysteriously packaged Samsung device departed the FCC’s secure zone with a few question marks over its character. We know it’s got GSM/EDGE 850 – 1900 radios and can access WCDMA Bands II and V, plus the usual WiFi and Bluetooth gear, but that’s about it. The folks at Wireless Goodness are staking the GT-i9070 as a China-bound variation of the Galaxy SII (assessed for roaming safety), which would seem logical, since we’ve clearly got enough models over here.

T-Mobile may be getting a new batch of spectrum as a result of its failed merger with AT&T, but it’s obviously going to always be on the hunt for more, and it’s now urging Congress to ensure that the playing field for future auctions is level for all bidders big and small. Specifically, it’s asking members of Congress to reconsider some pending legislation that it says would “effectively preclude the FCC from considering existing spectrum holdings in determining the qualifications for participation in auctions.” That, it suggests, would put smaller players like itself at a disadvantage to the big spectrum holders in future auctions (namely, AT&T and Verizon), and would represent a drastic break from the past twenty years — during which it says the FCC has continued to fine-tune it’s process to ensure “pro-competitive auction rules.” T-Mobile’s full case, laid out by VP of Federal Regulatory Affairs Kathleen Ham, can be found at the source link below. T-Mobile urges Congress, FCC to keep spectrum auctions competitive originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:35:00 EDT.

Despite all Sprint’s efforts to promote its Network Vision plans, the carrier has been much more coy about its intentions for subscribers in the rural midwest. It was recently revealed that the company plans to divest some of its infrastructure in Oklahoma and Kansas, where the carrier will instead rely on roaming agreements for voice and data. The move is primarily a cost-cutting measure, but one network — AT&T — is none too happy about the revelation

It looks like AT&T is ready to uphold its end of the bargain . As promised, the GSM giant is poised to hand over spectrum to T-Mobile valued at $1 billion as a result of the proposed merger failing , and once again the FCC is the gatekeeper that holds the keys to the success of the transfer.

No, it’s not a Philippe Starck-designed hearing aid , although we kind of wish it were. What you’re actually looking at is an over-the-ear sensor, dubbed the e-AR, made to mimic the human vestibular system . In layman’s terms, this 3D accelerometer-equipped device, crafted by Sensixa, is capable of recording real-time information related to posture and orientation, much like the inner ear does, which is then relayed via an embedded low power radio to a remote receiver.
