Apple TV: 250,000 Sold In Six Weeks
Apple didn’t announce the number of Apple TVs sold as part of its earnings release, but Steve Jobs was on the company’s investor call today and gave the first official numbers for how many of the brand new set-top box have seen purchased. So far, the sales are pretty good: Jobs reported that the company has sold more than 250,000 Apple TVs since the company first made the product available in early September.
Apple first announced the new Apple TV broadband set-top box on September 1, pricing it at $99 and announcing a new business model for streaming rentals of TV episodes and movie files. With the new streaming model, Apple rents TV episodes from Fox and ABC for 99 cents, compared to the $1.99 price for standard definition episode downloads and HD downloads for $2.99.
To put that into perspective: Roku reported at the beginning of this year that it had sold 500,000 of its set-top devices after about a year-and-a-half on the market, and hopes to have sold more than a million of its box by the end of the year. So Apple is tracking well ahead of other, similar devices already in the market.
HP Reveals webOS 2.0, Arriving Friday on Palm Pre 2
HP today has officially introduced webOS 2.0, the biggest update to what was formerly Palm's mobile operating system, one of the assets gained by HP back in April when it acquired Palm, Inc for $1.2 billion. Now called HP webOS, the updated operating system will make its debut this Friday on the new Palm Pre 2 smartphone. The phone will be available first in France and then, in later months, in the U.S. and Canada on Verizon's network.
What's New, Pre 2?
In September, HP pushed a beta of the webOS SDK (software development kit) to developers, allowing them to experiment with all the new features of the updated operating system. These features included a multi-tasking user interface improvement called "stacks" (for stacking open screens like a deck of cards), the introduction of "Just Type" quick actions for common tasks like Facebook status updates, adding items to a list or starting an email, an improved Universal Search feature which extends phone-based searches to the Web, a screensaver-like "Exhibition" mode customizable through apps and various under-the-hood improvements including HTML5 support, PDK plugins and more.
Open Thread: What Joyous Treasures Will Apple Announce Tomorrow?
When I was a kid, Christmas Eve was the most excruciating night of the year. I couldn't sleep and I couldn't think about anything else besides what would be waiting for me under a tree the next morning (it was usually something in the Star Wars, G.I. Joe or Transformers universe). Now, at the youthful age of 35, my Peter Pan complex is rarely as strong as when Apple sets a date to announce a new product. Bang 'a Rang!
Tomorrow, Apple is at it again. Their event, titled "Back to the Mac," has been rumored to cover a number of tantalizing things. While the tech press is notorious for not even coming close to predicting Apple's product announcements correctly, that doesn't stop us from trying!
Pay Any Bill From Your iPhone, Android or Blackberry
There's something about paying bills - the checkbook, the stamps, the envelopes, the taste of the adhesive - that just rubs me the wrong way. It isn't even the money making a one-way march out of my account, that's just inevitable. If I never had to deal with a paper bill again, my life would be happier.
My world may have just gotten a little rosier, as one company has just released a tool to make paying those paper bills possible by iPhone, Android and Blackberry.
Mitek Mobile has developed an app that lets you pay your bills by simply taking a picture of the bill you want to pay and verifying your payment information.
According to the demo video, the app scans the bill for basic information, such as address, company name and payment amount. It then allows you to verify the information before completing the transaction through your bank account.
