Looks like the unlocked iPhone 4 slipped out a day early. In fact it is now available through the Apple Store and is a GSM model only. You can buy the 16GB version for $649.00, while the 32GB version is $749.00.

This is great news since people have been wanting Apple to offer the phone unlocked for some time now. Globally, this is one of the cheaper unlocked iPhones. So, who is going to buy one? Show of hands.

A new iPhone is not expected to be announced this week, but despite this, through the rest of June Walmart is offering the 16GB iPhone 4 for $147. That’s more than $50 off the usual $199 price, with a two-year contract. Great deal.

The price reduction began on Monday and applies to both the AT&T and Verizon versions of the iPhone 4. The $147 on-contract price is also available for both the black and white models, so you can get either one.

In an attempt to get new customers, Verizon is using the iPhone as an incentive for their FiOS fiber optic-based video and internet service. New customers will get discounted rates for the bundle they choose and a $200 gift card to offset the cost of the 16GB iPhone 4. The deal is only good for new FiOS customers.

Verizon is also offering an additional discount for customers who sign up for the FiOS video, internet, and VoIP bundle with Verizon wireless service at Verizon Wireless, Verizon Plus or Verizon Experience stores. A $10 per month discount good for a year.

As expected, the Verizon iPhone has arrived. Now millions of people can head over to Verizon from AT&T, for the CDMA (non-LTE) version of the iPhone 4 starting next month. The phone is said to have been in testing for over a year, and it will be available on February 10th for $200 (16GB).

Qualified Verizon Wireless customers will be given the opportunity to pre-order the iPhone 4 online on February 3rd. If you want a 32GB model, the price is $300. Verizon iPhone owners will also enjoy personal hotspot capability (up to 5 users connected simultaneously).

Will Nokia’s latest Nokia N8 smartphone save the company? We shall see. Those of us living in the US will be able to place a pre-order for the N8 for $550 and it is expected to ship at the end of September 2010.

So it will likely hit the scene after the Nokia World Event ends on September 15th. The N8 is the first 12-megapixel smartphone from Nokia, offering HD video recording, HDMI output and 16GB of internal memory. It’s no iPhone. That’s for sure.

Apple launched it’s new iPad tablet on Saturday, meeting long lines of individuals anxiously waiting, some for many hours, to purchase the new mobile device. The release of the iPad is the most anticipated product Apple has released since the iPhone launch in 2007, with almost as much hype surrounding it.

The iPads going on sale Saturday are the WiFi-only versions and are priced from $499 to $699 depending on the storage capacity desired, which ranges from 16GB to 64GB. Apple will release a 3G version of the iPad later in the month with prices ranging from $629 to $829, again depending on storage capacity.

The iPad devices are a small tablet-like device with a 9.7-inch touch screen (on screen keyboard) and they run an operating system very similar to the iPhone or iPod touch. They have the ability to download and play music and videos from Apple’s iTunes library, read books e-books with Apple’s new iBook application and use thousands of applications from the Apple App Store for the iPad.

Geeks the world over have become infatuated with the idea of a watch phone. I can get the outright geek appeal of the devices, but the reality of the tiny keys and screen don’t make me want to give up my iPhone for a watch phone.

Phenom has unveiled its latest device called the Dream watch phone. The device is a quad-band dual SIM watch phone that also has a built-in MP3 player, video player, digital camera, and video camera inside the tiny package.

All you want for Christmas is an iPhone for yourself right? But it’s too expensive, what with all of the other gifts you need to buy. How does an 8GB iPhone 3GS for $99 sound?

This one resides in rumor territory for now, but word is that Apple is toying with the idea of releasing the device for $99 in an effort to combat Motorola’s DROID. A cheaper iPhone 3GS is always welcomed, even if it is just an 8GB version, at least it gives users another option.

If that Motorola Droid that is aiming directly at the iPhone has piqued your interest, we have some good news for you today. Someone over at Motorola has posted the official Droid page live to the Motorola website and then quickly pulled it down.

Before the site was pulled, we had enough time to glean the important specs of the phone along with some clear shots of the handset. The device has a 3.7-inch 480 x 854 touchscreen, a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with 4x digital zoom and dual LED flash, and gets a 1400mAh battery.

If you thought that Apple was having a hard time unloading all of those new 3G S units, you can rest easy. The gang at Cupertino have issued some stats that will make Apple fans breath a collective sigh of relief.

Those stats show that they’ve managed to move a million iPhone 3G S units over the weekend. That’s right, as usual, like lemmings to a proverbial cliff, tons of buyers flooded Apple’s stores for the new smartphone. It’s all looking great for Apple.

Today is the big day for iPhone fans looking to get their hands on the new iPhone 3G S. The catch for some iPhone 3G owners is that AT&T’s upgrade plans for the iPhone 3G S are not that great if you haven’t had your old iPhone that long.

NextWorth has announced an upgrade program for iPhone 3G owners that may give enough cash to upgrade to the 3G S iPhone. The company says that some that trade-in their old device may even have cash left over after they buy the iPhone 3G S.

TomTom announced on Tuesday that it would be making it’s navigation software and some hardware pieces available specifically for use with Apple’s iPhone sometime in the not too distant future. TomTom will be offering the navigation software through the iTunes App Store and will also provide some type of charging dock and speakers for use on the go.

The navigation company did say the software would be available for the iPhone 3G but did not specify if it would be available for the newly announced iPhone 3G S version, however logic tells us it will.

The N97 that Nokia unveiled way last December is hitting stores tomorrow afternoon. Well, at least hitting the Nokia flagship stores in New York and Chicago. If you’re not already in line at one of these two places you might have some luck online as Amazon appears to have some in stock and we would imagine (or at least hope for the sake of all you that pre-ordered) that they will start shipping today or tomorrow as well.

This release from …

As we all knew, Apple’s unveiled a new iPhone today at WWDC, the iPhone 3G S. The “s” stands for speed. Clever. Although it looks almost exactly like the 3G, it’s…Well, faster. Some tasks are almost four times faster. Data speeds have been upped to 7.2Mbps HSDPA, and the camera is now a 3 megapixel unit with tap-to-autofocus and auto white balance. It now supports 30fps VGA video recording with editing features.

You’re also getting a built-in compass, Nike+ support, and a new battery that offers 5 hours of 3G talk time and 9 hours of WiFi internet use. That’s not all. Holding down the home button now enables a new voice control interface that lets you make calls or even control iTunes.

All of the phones I have ever owned, including my iPhone, seem to have the camera added as an afterthought. The camera on most phones is junk that won’t take a decent picture, especially in low light. The crap camera is my biggest complaint on my iPhone.

Samsung has taken a different route with its new Pixon 12 camera phone. The camera is the big draw for the device with 12-megapixels of resolution and a full touchscreen. The camera has autofocus and the user can touch the touchscreen to tell the camera where to focus in the shot they frame up.
