Wednesday Tidbits.

The iphone will finally arrive at Verizon.

According to Bloomberg news, the iphone is slated to arrive at Verizon in January, right on time to miss all of the Christmas holiday sales.  Sweet.  That means you no longer have to be penalized from AT&T for using all of the cool features and unlimited online time that the iphone has to offer because you were encouraged to do so from Apple. Its the one hand doesn't talk to the other thing, you know how it goes.




Most people who I have surveyed have said that Verizon does have better service.  I have had both services at the same time AT&T and Verizon and Verizon wins.  I am not going by this graph either.



*****************************
The bait and switch has happened.  After HULU got us all hooked on free online television like crackheads,



they decide to charge for the best shows and services now for 10 dollars a month.  Because of this HULU will fall like Napster did.  Who wants to go from free to paying for the same stuff we got for free?  We all know how this will end.  The TV shows and companies and unions will want a cut of sales from HULU so at some point the price will go up. bah.  source

The ipad will have even more competition soon.



vs.



First Google announced their "Ipad Kiler" which will run on Android software.
Then Microsoft, Exo PC,Nokia and HP announced that they also were working on the same kind of device.
Now Cisco is branching out with its own tablet called the Cius.  It will launch next year.
The Cius will have 2 cameras, run on Android and WiFi plus Broadband ready. It will also have the ability to use external mice, keyboards and monitors (presumably using USB)

This already sounds like a winner to me.  Don't worry Ipad lovers, I am sure that by the time the fourth generation ipad is released, they will have one camera installed and have that pesky wifi issue resolved.
