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

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

Is the Google Phone on the way?
There are rumors circulating that a Google Phone (possibly named Nexus One) could be on the way by January 2010. The phone will run Android 2.1 and be manufactured by HTC, but will carry the Google name.
The phone could be a game-changer in many ways. For one thing, the phone will be unlocked, so it can be used on both AT&T’s and T-Mobile’s network. It will also be sold in retail locations, and with the iPhone’s exclusivity agreement with AT&T about to expire, it could open up a potentially interesting competition. As for features, it will have a touch screen, two microphones, and voice-to-text, for those who don’t like typing on a touch screen. » read more
