Wal-Mart Selling the iPhone Confirmed

By Kris at 4:27 PM

It has been confirmed that Wal-Mart will sell the iPhone towards the end of December, but it is still unknown whether Apple will sell the previous iPhone for $99. Employees in many Wal-Mart stores are going through training detailing how they are supposed to sell the iPhone. In a note on december fifth Shaw Wu, an analyst for Kaufman Brothers in San Francisco, said “One of the key things Apple needs to do to drive broader iPhone adoption is to build a more complete product line” with low- end, mid-range and high-end products. So Shaw Wu is basically saying that Apple needs to make a low-budget iPhone, a standard iPhone, and then the high end iPhone. Just as Apple did with the iPods you got the Shuffle, Nano, Video, and Touch. As of right now I don’t have an iPhone, but if it’s going to cost $100 I know I will be getting one. Would you? Comment.

Sneaky Youtube rolling out HD?

Techcrunch today posted an article discussing what looks to be the roll out of HD content on Youtube. No announcement has been made by Youtube who also updated the look of their site and went widescreen within the last few weeks. The chatter has been that Youtube may be evaluating HD worthy (content that meets the HD resolution requirements) content and offering it as an alternative version to the standard definition.

$99 iPhone Coming to Wal-Mart

By Kris at 11:13 PM

There lately have been rumors that Wal-Mart might start selling the iPhone for only a measly $99 with a two year contract. But don’t get too excited because this iPhone will be the original one that Apple first came out with so the iPhone will only have 4GB of space and it won’t have 3G connectivity. But as of now this isn’t 100% positive but if Apple goes through with this then they’re going to control a lot of the mobile industry and will this be the end for Windows Mobile smartphones? Or will it spark up completion which will force other companies such as Google to lower their price on the G1? What do you think? Comment.

The FCC’s free Internet Plan

By Kris at 6:55 PM

On December 18th the Federal Communications Commission, whom control basic TV signals and radio waves, will hold a meeting regarding the auction of a portion of unused air waves called Advanced Wireless Service-3 (AWS-3). Unfortunately for the winner this spectrum of airwaves doesn’t come without a few hitches, one such being that the company that buys them has to give away 25% of the bandwidth as free wireless nationwide broadband at a speed of 768 Kbps. Also despite the fact the company will own 75% of the bandwidth on the spectrum, the remaining 25% could carry a number of rules along with it. One of the most debated is the proposed ban on content of pornographic or questionable legality, as proposed by FCC chairman Kevin Martin.  The “ban” isn’t necessarily permanent, and access to some of the material can be regained by opting out of the restriction program by adults (presumably through some form of age verification). But T-Mobile has lodged a complaint that the airwaves will effect their new high-speed data network, but the FCC ignored their comment.

Boxee: Unboxing the Media Experience (invites)

With television viewership on the decline and so many of us watching our favorite shows at our own convenience online it was only a matter of time before one or more clever companies helped us bridge the gap between our favorite online media services and our televisions. Boxee.tv is leading the way!

Although still in closed alpha, Boxee has been gaining steam as the open source media application of choice. Previously it could only pull in content from your networked drives similar to iTunes, but the latest version of Boxee now also enables you to watch content from tons of sources. Hulu, CBS, Comedy Central, CNN and more are all at your fingertips. Boxee doesn’t stop at just video. You can also stream music from you Last.fm account, your local iTunes library, and even photos from Flickr.
