iLounge’s iPhone 4 Video Walkthrough
iTunes Festival: 2 Million People Apply for Tickets
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.
Connecting People: Nokia Is Flattered, Doesn’t Sue
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.
Redesigned Time Magazine Follows in Wired’s Footsteps
With Wired setting the bar for gorgeous, high-quality, interactive magazines on the iPad, Time shows us what they’ve cooked up. Though in Time’s case, there’s a lot going on in terms of navigation that makes it feel really cluttered. There’s too many ways you can interact with pages that don’t seem intuitive, but we’ll see.
I am most impressed with being able to view a map of the stories: that is really important to me. Equally as interesting is Wired’s comments system, which I wouldn’t expect from a magazine – do I really want read the same trollish comments I can online?
Considering I just cancelled my cable plan (why would you do such a thing!?), Time will be great for keeping an eye on the world around me so I don’t lose track of current events. I’m hopeful this will be out soon, and you can find a quick video after the break.

A Simple Safari Extension to Shorten URLs
Safari 5 is Firefox in 2004: extensions are popping up from everywhere. Just take a look at Safari Extensions Tumblr to get an idea of how many tweaks have been submitted in just 3 days of existence. In this ocean of tweaks and addons though, it’s easy to get lost. If you’re looking for a simple extension to shorten URLs, and shorten them well, I think we’ve found one.
Recently Bought an iPhone 3GS? Get Cash Back
So you just bought an iPhone 3GS. It stings doesn’t it? You paid a premium for a now outdated phone. But not to worry, AT&T is willing to give you some cash back. ModMyi reports,
“We just got word from an MMi member inside AT&T that the carrier is going to offer a “one-time Customer Price Protection” for anyone who bought a 16GB or 32GB iPhone 3GS in the month before the price drop on June 7.”
