Program Reminder: CNBC's 'Planet Of The Apps' Premieres Tonight

This is just a friendly program reminder in case you missed our first post from December 29th, 2009, or in case you simply forgot. Tonight at 10:00 PM ET, CNBC will be airing a special one-hour program titled "Planet of the Apps: A Hand-Held Revolution!" The program will focus on how the launch of the iPhone in June 2007 ignited the mobile revolution with the introduction of apps. It will also take a closer look at the process of designing apps, and even profile some fairly famous, at least in our geeky circles, and not-so-famous app developers, including Heroes' Greg Grunberg. The entire program won't only be about Apple's iPhone, as they intend to take a look at its competition as well, but it should still be a worthy way to spend your Thursday evening anyway. Below is a description of the show taken from CNBC's official "Planet of the Apps" page:

Innovative and often addictive apps are changing the way we work and live. Welcome to Planet of the Apps: A Handheld Revolution. In this hour we’ll look at how apps have changed our lives, meet some of the creators behind them, and figure out just how big a business they really are. CNBC’s Planet of the Apps: A Hand-held Revolution takes a look at how the industry is changing the way we live.
