Apple - iTunes - 25 Billion App Countdown
Been watching the counter for awhile. It just went from 24,966
million to 24,905 million when I did a refresh of my web browser.
This tells me two things: The website counter is not real time and
occasionally they update it to bring it in align with reality.

RE: Rumor: iPad 3 to Cost $70-$80 More Than iPad 2
I saw 2 tablets last night that look interesting. One is the Blackberry Playbook with a new O.S. that appears to be a fully loaded 7 inch tablet. It was around $199 and so was another 7 inch android tablet that I looked at.
Having looked at many tablet options last night, it is easy to see that Apple has a ton of competition. I see Apple losing market share.
It is time that Kindle Fire got a SW upgrade.

Rumor: iPad 3 to Cost $70-$80 More Than iPad 2
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2400838,00.asp
If true, then I think that this is going to bomb big time. $500 is bad enough for a tablet. If the iPad2 is not discounted to around $350, then I am going to take another look at the Nook or the Kindle.

I am hoping for a discounted iPad 2.
Prediction:
iPad 3 - $399
iPad 2 - $299
Maybe this is just wishful thinking on my part. Actual prices could be
$50-100 higher.

AT&T throttles iPhone unlimited data plans.
From: Witmer, Robert
I was talking with Marty M. He said since the beginning of the new year or in the last few weeks the throughput here in the office has gone up considerably. He is getting 1 Mbit and 1 Mbit up sitting at his desk on his iPad. He ran the test in my cubicle also. They must of activated a new tower nearby recently. I can barely get 33 kbits on T-Mobile sitting at my desk unless I go outside, then I get comparable to what he is getting. But for 99% of stuff I’m too lazy to walk outside just so I can download something that’s big. Which is probably a good thing for not getting distracted.

… maybe a reason to switch to Sprint.
