Ever since Hulu announced its plans for Hulu +, a premium subscription service that gives you access to full HD content and mobile apps, we all applied for an invite. I know you did, and I did too. I still haven’t got mine.
But, my good friend Matthew Rex was able to get in and he posted some screenshots and impressions about the overall service and video quality. He’s got some interesting findings to share, too.
I really appreciate Apple’s honesty when it came to this press conference, which was backed by real acquired data. TUAW and The Next Web have put Apple’s figures into perspective, so let’s review.
Following the official apple.com/antenna webpage, Apple has also introduced a section dedicated to its Antenna design and test labs.
Following today’s press conference over at Cupertino’s campus, Apple has just launched a new webpage: apple.com/antenna where they explain all the details regarding the signal degradation issues people have been recently reporting.
The press conference it’s over since a few minutes, yet it’s already available online for your streaming pleasure. This is the link to follow.
Expect it to drop on iTunes tomorrow.
Yes, folks: Apple started its special iPhone 4 conference by playing the satyrical Antenna Song by Jonathan Mann. Steve Jobs said he was browsing Youtube this morning and decided to use the song in the press conference.
Check out the video and lyrics after the break.
Telenor Denmark called it this morning. Steve Jobs has just announced that the iPhone 4 will be released in 17 more countries on July 30th. The white iPhone 4 will also ship by the end of July, but we don’t if these countries will actually get it.
The countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
We’ll keep you posted about offers and carrier plans.
This was pretty much expected, and we can’t help but be happy about it. At Apple’s special iPhone 4 conference in Cupertino, Steve Jobs has just announced that Apple is going to give away a free bumper to every iPhone 4 user until September 30. Then they’ll examine the situation.
If you bought one already, you’ll get a full refund. You’ll also be able to apply for a free case through Apple.com and Apple will send one to you.
Nice.
With the iPad being one of the only viable tablets currently on the market for consumers, it’s no wonder that Apple will dominate 93% of the the tablet space by the end of this year. 9 to 5 Mac reports,
The Chinese-language Commercial Times tells us global shipments of tablet PCs in 2010 and 2011 are predicted to come in at 16.4 and 35 million units. That’s nice, but even better (for Apple) 93% and 75% of these tablet PC shipments will be accounted for by iPads. In fact, the iPad is going to grab 40 percent of global demand for notebooks.
Which is bad news for Microsoft and related companies such as Hewlett Packard, whose shipments fell 9 percent while Lenovo and Apple have seen increases in demand.
