Apple Media Pad & iPhone Lite In Our Near Future?

Posted by Aaron Zollo on Apr 27, 2009 in News, Rumors | 0 comments

  There have been multiple rumors lately of Verizon and Apple joining forces for a new iPhone.  This was originally shot down and then revived again for a possible iPhone CDMA variant.  The most recent bit of news coming our way about this possible carrier working with Apple is the confirmation of talks with Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam from BusinessWeek.

BusinessWeek also said that two people "in the know" have reported on a device smaller than Amazon’s Kindle, but with a larger touchscreen and being called the Apple media pad.

"The media pad category might go to Verizon," said the person who has seen the device. "We are talking about a device where people will say, ‘Damn, why didn’t we do this?’ Apple is probably going to define the damn category."

The other news is of an iPhone Lite that is smaller, thinner and lighter than the current model also being mentioned by the same source.

We are betting that any news of such devices would be presented in June at WWDC.  We’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we find out.

Amazon Releases Kindle App For iPhone

Posted by Aaron Zollo on Mar 4, 2009 in News | 0 comments

  You want Amazon’s Kindle, but you already have a beautiful iPhone.  The dilemma which has plagued iPhone users for over a year now is over.  Amazon has realized that it would be pure lunacy for them not to release a Kindle app for the iPhone.  This is not just a simple app either, but a full fledge equivalent minus the e-ink and larger screen.  You can purchase books just as you would on the Kindle and enjoy reading for hours on your beloved iPhone or iPod Touch.  Amazon also has included Whispersync to allow you to sync where you left off on your Kindle with where you left off on your iPhone.  This is a win-win for all of us and should make all of us who cannot or will never purchase a Kindle, be satisfied that we have all the goodness of the Kindle in our iPod.
