The iMAS Droid!

July 1, 2010

Long Post today!  A lot happened!!!  Summer seems to short,  Its already wrapping up!  With that come some great things, like Froyo and Droid X, but also some things take their leave.  So get in your last month of Pooltime, Showtime, and Work,  because a whole new month awaits!  Happy July!

The Verizon iPhone?

Yes!  According to a recent Bloomberg report, this coming year will mark the end of Apple’s 5-Year contract with AT&T and Verizon had been eager to jump on the train of success which has been the iPhone 4.  That is if you exclude the recent dilemma.  After half a week of complaints about reception issues with the iPhone’s antenna (due to holding the phone in different ways) Apple has posted an ad looking for Antenna Engineers.  Thats right people, Apple is hiring (now how do i get an engineering degree fast?).

Droid X (my new secret fascination) took the opportunity to jab Apple with one of their ads.

“most importantly, it comes with a double antenna design. The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like and use it just about anywhere to make crystal clear calls. You have a voice. And you deserve to be heard.”

4 Square makes 4 Million!  Well…  5 times.

In an effort to secure their position in the future of social media (P.S.  HAPPY SOCIAL MEDIA DAY!  more info here) 4 Square has secured 20 million dollars to put towards improving the product for their 2 million users (that or they could give us all $10!).

Plus, Plus, and Away!

Hulu + offers new support for current Hulu users as well as features like having Hulu play on your TV, iPad, or iPhone!  Streaming in beautiful 720p HD, you can play your favorite TV shows (past and present) on your Xbox, Playstation, BlueRay Player, or iProduct!  The downside is of course the monthly cost.  I anticipate many will take advantage of Hulu+ for only $9.99!  As for the rest of us… we will still be able to watch the last 5 episodes of our favorite TV shows for free on Hulu.

Speaking of Playstation…  Playstation + has a lot of hype regarding what it actually is.  This $49.99 a year subscription (or 17.99 per 3 months) allows its users to access demos, try full games for up to an hour before actually purchasing, auto-patch games that have been played on the PS3, and most important it incorporates a new and improved Facebook integration.  This time around, it may even be better than the common iPhone applications!

MAS’s Most Mouthwatering!

I am SO excited about this product because it marks just how ridiculous the industry of Memory has become!  This 3 Terabyte hard drive, known as the FreeAgent GoFlex Desk External Drive,  features both USB 2.0 and 3.0 and is roughly 8 cents per Gigabyte of space.  Good luck filling this one up.

Its late!  Im tired!  Happy Social Media Day to all!!!!
