While I wouldn’t expect any extra low prices, the iPhone 4 will be populating your favorite Wal-Mart on June 24th. Best Buy is also expected to carry the phone on launch day, so pick the better of the two evils if you decide to venture amongst the Apple loyal.

The WWDC is almost over, and Apple has released a new video featuring many iPhone and iPad developers such as Illusion Labs, ABC and Wolfram Research.
Very nice and well done, check it out here.
Matt Drance over at Apple Outsider noticed that Apple updated section 3.3.2 of the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement to allows apps to use embedded interpreted code. As Matt writes, games tend to use libraries and engines based upon languages such as Lua.
It’s been all over the news – a breaking story at Gawker (in which Ryan Tate poorly labeled this as an Apple security breach) lead to the confusion and uproar of many as AT&T has failed to protect the privacy of their customers. With the iPad ICC ID’s and their owners on display with a simple PHP script, the US Federal Commissions is stepping up their game in order to address online security.
Publishers may have an uphill battle to face when it comes to developing on the iPad. The entire business of Editorial magazines and newspapers is focused around something tangible – it’s focused on printed content. I assume that a lot of these traditional business are interested in developing and publishing content for the iPad (in an app), but don’t know how to approach the new, digital world. They are completely out of their league.
But for Wired, they’ve already been dealing in digital content for years. They have the advantage in understanding how customers will interact with digital products. As we’ve seen with Time’s latest demo, their digital magazine may become a navigational nightmare.
iLounge has posted its usual video walkthrough, this time obviously about the iPhone 4. Highly recommended to watch in case you still haven’t been able to take a look at some HD hands-on footage of the new device.

Oliver Schusser, senior director of iTunes Europe, has confirmed that 2 million people have applied for iTunes Festival tickets so far, at an average of 100.000 every day. From the numbers above, it looks like this year’s iTunes Festival is going to be one of the most popular and successful ever.
In Apple’s video for the iPhone 4, Scott Forstall said the new iPhone is all about connecting people. Too bad “connecting people” is a long time Nokia slogan (for more than a decade actually) and we all spotted the reference there in the video.
It’s a good slogan, but we all wondered whether Nokia could sue Apple for trademark infringement. A Finnish website said so, too.
