The debacle surrounding Apple's newly introduced subscription feature, and its revenue sharing plan is reaching an all time high this week.

Verizon iPhone Mostly Selling To Existing iOS Users?

Verizon iPhone Mostly Selling To Existing iOS Users?

We're still very much in the dark as to how well the recently released CDMA iPhone is selling on Verizon. We know it sold out on the first day, and that it beat Verizon's sales record in just two hours on pre-order launch day (between 3 and 5am EST). We also heard that it might be slightly underperforming. Apple has yet to release a statement on actual sales, and most importantly, we don't know who is buying the device.

What Apple Can Learn From The HP TouchPad

What Apple Can Learn From The HP TouchPad

Moments ago, HP finally entered the tablet war with both feet by introducing the TouchPad, the first real offspring of HP's Palm acquisition. By curiosity, we've been following some of the liveblogs covering the event, and we had the pleasant surprise to hear about some interesting new ideas HP is bringing to the tablet table (the Palm brand has apparently been retired, RIP). I wouldn't be surprised for some of these to become standards, and who knows, make it to iOS. So come find out about them.
