Verizon is playing the same games as AT&T with exclusivity. Apple gets richer
Posted on December 6, 2010 | No CommentsVerizon is looking to have an exclusive deal with Apple just as AT&T does.

Verizon is feeling the slip on Android and has little faith in Blackberry to really content with iphone popularity. -

Realtime GPS updates via the iPhone using Loopt. Kinda.. and for a price
Posted on September 4, 2009 | No CommentsI’ve been thinking about writing a post on how silly is to get AT&T’s GPS driving directions app/service at 9.99 a month when you can buy a turn-by-turn apps for around $50. That’s another post. But now I just read on AppleInsider that Loopt has an agreement with AT&T to... -

The Palm Pre pricing is out. A bit cheaper then the iphone.. Cheap enough?
Posted on May 19, 2009 | 1 CommentMaybe. Its $199 if you take on a 2 year plan and send in a $100 rebate. I HATE rebates. Enough that it could turn me off from thinking about the Palm Pre, but we’ll see what the user experience is like for sending them in and getting the money... -
