Verizon's First iPhone Ad



I know I never thought this day would come. All the rumors before every major tech show, Verizon announcement, or conference never panned out. But look! First commercial! It's really here! Now all you AT&T haters can change over and maybe that will lighten the load so I can get a decent signal during "prime phone time". At least, I can hope anyway.

iPad: Woman's Best Friend



It's too bad MADtv isn't around to reap the benefits of all this publicity for their sketch. Oh wait, you mean the iPad is a REAL Apple product? Well then.

Linkulous: Broadcast Television, Green Lantern, Football, and more

For being a short week, it felt a lot longer. Oh well, price of being busy busy busy I guess. Here are some articles I enjoyed this week. Check 'em out!

Dollhouse: (Briefly) The Best Show on Television - since its cancellation was announced, it's like the show's been on steroids! So much is happening in each episode, it's firing in all cylinders, and throwing surprises at us left and right. I LOVE IT.

Red-faced from drinking? It could be an evolutionary advantage - I don't get red from drinking (yay, half-white! lol), but it's interesting that it could actually be a good thing.

Go Green, iPhone!


I love my iPhone, but the short battery life is a major problem some days. Using the internet on 3G means I have a battery life of only a few hours. This idea is genius! Solar powered casing would help with the battery problem while protecting the phone. For more info, check out the article over at Mashable.

Will it Blend?


This makes me feel physically ill - ruining a beautiful iPhone
like that! I'm kidding, kind of. But it is an example of great
marketing. Whether it's real or not, it gets people talking about
the blender. It's gotten over 7 million views on youtube and is
just gaining more and more word of mouth marketing. They
have a whole list of things they've blended: mariokart wii wheel,
glow sticks, wiimote, rubik's cube, and more.

Cleaning with the iPhone

No, this is not about cleaning apps from the iTunes store for your iPhone or iPod touch. This about this sweet soap! Check this out:


I know some people love their iPhone so much they'd want to rub it all over their body. Well, now they can!

And if you have an obsessive love for your non-iPhone smartphone, there's a soap for you too. Check out more about the soaps over at Mashable.

What Recession? Apple's Not Feeling It


iPhone sales passed 5 million units sold, for this quarter alone! Apple seems to be defying the odds by not only maintaining their market share, but growing! Apple products are more expensive across the board than other brands, yet it is able to grow thanks to a great brand that people trust.

For more hard figures, check out this article.

I just got my iPhone a week ago and I'm totally in love with it! While it's a big cost, I was lucky enough to get it as a grad gift. I've had some time to play around with apps and I'm loving the Lose it! app. It's a pretty boring app, but it's so helpful in terms of keeping track of my diet and exercise. I'm also addicted to Rolando, a fun game that utilizes the gravity function of the phone. Other apps I use all the time: Twitterific, Facebook, and Shazam. KT uses Labyrinth and The Price is Right a lot.

One type of app that I wish there were more of: Movie/TV Studios. Right now, the only one I've really found is Sony Pictures, where they have trailers and news for their films. I also have the Sci Fi Wire with updates on all sci fi news and projects. I wish there were more out there like this! I would totally use a Warner Bros. one to follow updates on Chuck and Harry Potter!

Well, hopefully this is about to change. Movie studios are starting to realize the marketing potential of the iphone and blackberry. We keep these phones on us at all times, it's the perfect way to get ads to us at any time of day. Movie studios are just starting to pick up on this idea: Bruno apps where you can touch him to get him to talk dirty to you, Harry Potter app where you can play with a wand and put your face in The Daily Prophet. While these are great, I wish more studios would have one app for all their projects like Sony Pictures does. I would PAY for a Disney/Pixar one!

Would you guys pay for a movie app? Or what other apps do you feel are lacking?
