Apple Releases White iPhone 4 on Verizon and AT&T

Apple released the anticipated iPhone 4 in white. The specs are the same as the original, black iPhone 4, but the front and back are white, offering a different, clean look. Delays were attributed to a few problems in making the materials right for the white phone, and apparently there were some issues with light coming in through the white and adversely affecting the camera.

Want to quadruple the battery life of your HTC Thunderbolt 4G smartphone?

The HTC Thunderbolt has poor battery life. The included 1400 mAH battery isn’t what this phone needs. If you’re like me and you don’t like getting only 4 hours out of a battery, here’s the way to do it.

Review: HTC Thunderbolt - 4G speeds and more.

I just picked up a new HTC Thunderbolt phone. I’ve been using an original Droid (aka the Droid 1) since it came out in November of 2009. I’ve been holding out for a while, and after seeing the specs and demoing the Thunderbolt, I took the plunge. It’s not the perfect phone, but it has some amazing features and the 4G connection is F A S T!

Rio - Angry Birds New Game, To Be Exclusive on Amazon App Store For Period

As often with news bits, there may be more questions than answers with Rio and the announcement that Amazon will have an exclusive.  Does this mean the iOS version will not happen?  Unlikely.  Does this mean that Amazon will have an indefinite exclusive?  Also unlikely but that would have meant that Amazon would have spent a great deal of money to get it.  Smart move by Amazon.

Instagram Adds 130,000 New Users Per Week!

I downloaded this app twice and removed it twice already.  Now however, I am using it regularly.  I didn’t quite “get it” before I guess, but now that their API is open, other apps like Momento (the ultra cool, social diary app) is able to catch your Instagram uploads and more.  Not familiar with Instagram?  It’s a social photo sharing site where you can make little adjustments to the photo like cropping, B&W and other effects.  However, it is really about the photo.  Our sister site is ProPhoto Coaliiton so we’re keen on photography here!
