As I skimmed the iPad app store the other night, the one app that struck me most (besides Flipboard) was one that actually set way, way down at #55. It was the highly-touted Hulu + app, possibly one of the most hoped-for and touted apps by the iPad crowd.
The price was set at $9.99. So [...]

They say if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Well I’m doing nothing to help with bad AT&T service. In fact, I’m going to encourage it by buying another iPhone. So screw all of you people whining about dropped calls and slow internet.
AT&T, in a move that people could see a mile away, is going to upgrade away the Unlimited Data plans through upgrade pricing for the iPhone 4G.

You know the rules, and so do I.
So, sometimes I wonder: “How have we been able to attract these amazing writers that we have at MobileLocalSocial.com that we are blessed with?

I freakin’ LOVE this. Unfortunately, this isn’t an app, but some code created to play this song with Processing.org. So, you can’t download a player that does this… but WOW, someone talk to Pandora. I’d LOVE to sit with this rocking on my iPad, reading the words to the song as it [...]

After a rough week surrounding my first Mother’s Day without Mom, a look back at how we grieve and how social media can help us in those times of loneliness
For the first quarter in over six years, the Japanese giant, Nintendo, lost money. Heads have to roll! It looks like they may have declared war upon Apple, since apparently, they’ve already defeated Sony.
Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, is believed to have told his senior executives recently the war on Sony is victory. [...]
April 7th 2009 was the date that my company hosted our first TweetUp. It ended up being well attended and well received. We had news coverage from multiple local stations as well as local papers. It was that night that prompted the birth of the TweetUp Girls concept. Flash forward a year to April 22, [...]
Back in the day, AOL was notorious for being anti-user and making escape from their walled garden near impossible. Now, there is a new horrible walled garden. And escape is not much easier.

Apple is the low-hanging fruit of tech writing. Things seem to have come to a head with the iPhone 4G leak. It’s time for the blogosphere to stop reporting on Apple at the expense of better, more interesting news.
Spring is officially here, meaning summer is only two months away. So, why won’t an iPad be in the Frugal Fanboy’s beach bag (or carry-on)? Because even for vacationing, it doesn’t fill a need.
Yesterday, Gizmodo posted a teardown of the potential iPhone 4G, revealing an updated exterior and a plethora of new features, such as a front-facing camera and a better still camera with a flash. It also has a larger battery and possibly a higher resolution display. The announcement is expected in late June with a release [...]
Twitter start having ads called “Promoted Tweets”
iPad Ebooks are making their way into the light. Eventually, if technology continues to move forward, we may see much less books in print and much more books like the one in this video. If these types of Ebooks are exclusively made for children I must be easily entertained.
As seen at Gizmodo.

Big news! iPhone OS4 is going to offer a slew or new and revolutionary features never seen on a smartphone. Plus, it will have better ads. Also, Steve Jobs didn’t want half of a cheese sandwich.
