  • Ladies & Gentleman…finally there’s something worth writing about.  After literal years of rumors and predictions, Apple has unveiled its tablet-based computer, appropriately titled the iPad.
  • Watch a quick video overview of it here.
  • Price starts at $499 for the 16GB WiFi ranging all the way up to $829 for the 64GB WiFi & 3G.
  • Does this signify the soon-to-come death of Amazon’s Kindle?  Will the device be widely adopted by the health industry? ….only time will tell, but surely it will be exciting to see.

EcoATM Makes Recycling Your Phone Super Easy

by David Heyerman on October 12, 2009

  • EcoATM, a new startup out of San Diego, just introduced their new e-cycling kiosks.
  • First, the machine electronically inspects the phone for damage and automatically give it a real-time secondary market value.  If it’s actually worth something, you can opt for an in-store payment or simply donate the money to your favorite charity.  If the phone’s not worth anything, it goes into the recycling bin.
  • EcoATM’s first location at the Nebraska Furniture Mart saw such success that they’ll be installing machines at wireless and big box stores in and around San Diego as well as Washington state and Vermont.
  • The company is promising nationwide machines by the 2nd quarter of next year where they’ll be able to accept other gadgets like cameras, laptops, and MP3 players.  What a great startup.

Rock Band Coming To The iPhone & iPod Touch

Rock-Band-iPhone

  • Looks like we’ll be seeing Rock Band on the iPhone / iPod Touch relatively soon.
  • From the above shot, looks very similar to Tapulous.  Do you smell an app war?
  • Another interesting thing the post point towards (via MobileCrunch) is that Verizon has something to do with it.  Which further contributes to my suspicion that Verizon will launch their service based off the 700 MHz spectrum when they get the contract for the iPhone in 2010.
  • Your thoughts?

Get Auto-Tuned With T-Pain’s New iPhone App

by David Heyerman on September 4, 2009

  • Oh no folks, this could be bad.  T-pain just dropped his new iPhone app, appropriately titled: I am T-Pain
  • The app allows you to sing along with T-pain’s songs in your own auto-tuned voice.  You’re even able to record your own custom track and share it with your friends on Facebook & Myspace.
  • App costs 3 bucks.  Go cop it, then you can be exactly as talent-less as he is :)   ….respect though, he did help make auto-tune pop, so there’s something to be said for that.
