I have been doing my homework but in this field you are never sure if there are other examples out there. That’s why I asked that question. In any case this is a link to current verizon devices (for those interested)
https://www22.verizon.com/opendev/dcnew.aspx

I still cannot find a link to AT&T certified or other operators list..

Hmm… I thought you were to do the research not piggyback on others. Where is your list?

There are an awful lot of neat tablets for medical and industrial use too: )

Nice article. I am a researcher actually starting work on a similar topic. Can someone please list me:

a) List of all device / such operator and content / application owner partnerships in the embedded connectivity space?
b) Link to t-mobile, at&t, sprint, verizon where supported devices are listed? I have been trying furiously with little luck.

I am sure sharing this information will help bring forward more examples and elighten more people

Thanks a lot.
