There’s lots of people crying about iAds. “It’s this intrusive model that Apple wants to rake money from!” But not really. Making applications is hard work (seriously - try it sometime), but people want applications for free or dirt cheap. You’ll often find a variety of free applications that implement some form of advertising so you can get high quality content with an ad once in a while. Dear consumer: You’ve set the standard on how you want to pay for applications. This is the answer, and it’s geared to help developers make some extra money so they can continue to deliver you more great applications. I truly believe this is a money tree.

iMovie for iPhone 4, Your Perfect Mobile Editing Rig
Something I’ve been impressed with since the 3GS was Apple’s video editing software.

The whole setup is gorgeous.

AT&T customers can verify their upgrade eligibility by going to att.com/iphone, or by dialing *639#.”
Apple’s Moscone App Wall is Equally Impressive
The iPhone can’t have all the fun today can it? While we could talk about that amazing device for hours, I’m as equally (if not more) impressed with Apple’s grand App Wall. They’ve had something similar at past events, but you still can’t hold an iPhone up to 30 Mac Pro Towers. Yeah. Video after the break.
