Gizmodo Scoops New Iphone 4G
If you haven’t heard, Gizmodo indeed got an advanced version of the new iphone. Evidently, someone from Apple accidentally left it in a bar. Someone found it and offered it to Gizmodo . . . for a price — $5,000 USD.
Supposedly, Gizmodo has earned over 10mm hits from this little purchase, so it is likely that they have recouped their investment many, many times over. Well, in the spirit of sharing feel free to take a look for yourself.
We are very excited about the new iphone and hope that the new improvements really push the boundaries. We are sure it will. We’ll try to keep you updated with whatever we can find out that is intriguing in the new iphone 4.0. Stay tuned . . .

Google wants to BUILD your new TV!
Well, they at least are evidently going to start working with Sony and the rumor is Intel on a new TV that they want to act as an entertainment hub for your living room. Here are gadgetlounge we think that makes a lot of sense. We’ve had a pretty powerful computer hooked up to our living room tv for a quite awhile.
Google TV or perhaps “G-TV” will use the Android OS and may have a set-top box and an actual TV. In addition to regular tv, it will have lots of other functions that you would expect like Hulu, YouTube and other web-video sources, as well as games and apps for social networking. Google is of course interested in order to add some advertising to your tv. They own a few resources in that area so far, but this could serve as a big push. Let’s see how Apple responds . . .

Hey Blackberry . . . We are Eyeing the iPhone!
Accoding to Crowd Science nearly 40% of Blackberry users may move to Apple’s iPhone in the near future. Also troubling for Blackberrry is that a third of them would also consider switching to the Android operating system ala Google. When asked specifically if they’d swap their present phone for Google’s new Android-based Nexus One, 32% of Blackberry users said “yes,” compared with just 9% of iPhone users.
Users of all types of smartphones had downloaded more free applications than paid ones during the preceding seven days, with iPhone users significantly more likely to pay for apps, Android users leading in free apps, and Blackbery users far behind on both fronts. Both Android users and iPhone users were found much more likely than Blackberry users to use their phones only for personal use (32%, 28% and 16% respectively). On the other hand, 7% of Blackberry users use their phone only for business, with that category of user minimal with iPhone (1%) and non-existent in the Android base. iPhone users represented 17% of the respondents, followed by Blackberry users (15%), Nokia (10%), Windows Mobile (4%), Android (3%) and Palm (2%).
This is pretty interesting stuff and we thank the folks at Crowd Science for sharing it with us. The implications for Blackberry are really huge. It sounds like although they certainly had a first mover advantage, especially as a business device, that advantage is being massively challenged. We think that Apple’s appeal to a certain aesthetic style and simplicity of use is what appeals to people. The integration of your music and the antipated launch of Apple’s iphone 4.0 in late Spring / early Summer (just around the corner) is driving some real interest in change as well. Let the games begin (or continue) . . .
