The iPhone Netflix app: A review
When the iPad was released, there was mention of a Netflix app for the iPhone and iPod coming in the near future. As a Netflix customer and iPhone owner, I waited patiently. Today, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the most downloaded app was the new Netflix app, which I quickly downloaded.
If you check out the reviews, customers have only rated it 3 stars, and there are some criticisms. Personally, I haven’t experienced any problems. I was able to access my instant queue, add movies, and watch movies without any problem. Functions such as rewinding and fast forwarding also worked flawlessly. I’m not sure what’s going on with the other users, but it works just fine on my iPhone 3gs. » read more

Here comes the iPhone 4
Just when you thought the iPhone couldn’t get any better, it does. The new model will be slimmer, have expanded battery life, a front-facing camera for video conferencing, a 5 megapixel camera with flash, folders for apps, and high def resolution. If you’re a nerd, you probably want to get this ASAP.
The new model will be available on June 24th, and will be available in a 16gb model for $199, and a 32gb model for $299 (both with a 2 year contract). To top it off, Netflix also announced a new app that will be available this summer, which will allow users to stream movies on their phone. Unfortunately, the news isn’t all good. » read more

Apple introduces the iPad
It’s official: Apple has introduced the iPad. The Apple iPad is a tablet PC with a 10 inch screen, which basically functions like the apple iPod, only bigger. The iPad will have either 16gb, 32gb, or 64gb of storage. Most impressive is the battery life, which is rated at 10 hours, with 30 days of stand-by time.
During the announcement, Steve Jobs spoke about how the iPad fills a void between the iPod/iPhone, and a typical notebook computer. He also criticized netbooks as cheap laptops. There’s no doubt the iPad will be a huge success, especially for people who want it for media or entertainment purposes. The larger screen is superior to netbooks for movies, viewing pictures, and games. Of course, there are always going to be people who want to push actual buttons especially when typing a paper or writing an e-mail. » read more

It’s official: Google’s Nexus One is on the wa
It’s official: Google is now in the cell phone business. The company announced the release of the Nexus One, which was completely designed by its own engineers, and will help it gain traction in online advertising.
I’m not sure how the Nexus One stacks up to the iPhone, but there’s no doubt it is a game-changer for the wireless industry. Those who purchase the phone can buy an unlocked version that can be used with any carrier. Of course, that will be pricey, since the initial price will be $529. For those who are a bit more frugal, there is also an option of signing up for a 2 year agreement with T-Mobile and paying just $179. » read more
