I know there have been plenty of reviews surrounding the iPhone 4 OS that was released this month, and while there are plenty of new features to discuss – multi-tasking, threaded emails, etc., the most useful update – in my opinion – is the option to organize apps into folders.
I don’t remember the last time a mobile app of any kind got this much hype. In fact, I don’t think I can recall any software of any kind ever getting this much hype. Yesterday, Scoble broke the news of the release of a new iPad app called Flipboard. Shortly after, the Wall Street Journal followed with an article and review of the app. It wasn’t long before Mashable, TechCrunch, TheNextWeb, and the rest of the blogging crowd followed with their reviews. All the exposure throughout the blogesphere had one thing in common, it was all overwhelmingly positive.
Today, at the New Music Seminar in New York, Pandora announced that they have passed the 60 million users milestone. They had announced 40 million in December, and 50 million in April. Not bad for an online radio service, eh? Keep reading for the details!

While Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS are constantly at each other’s throats, the mobile market does not rest for even a minute.

It is no secret that one of the more annoying things about Apple is its ridiculously strict and long app approval process. This is annoying for consumers mainly because a lot of apps we would want to see on the iPhone platform are rejected by Apple, such as Google Voice to site one big example. However, it is much more annoying for developers who spend days, weeks, months, and sometimes even years developing an app.
The iPhone is one of the most well-known phones around, and one must be careful when using it in public, since most people know it has a lot of value. As a precautionary, many users have software setup to keep track of where there iPhone is. To date, there only two ways of doing so. One, by having a jailbroken device, or, two, by purchasing mobile me ($99). Now, there is an amazing app called Device Locator for iPhone in the App Store which allows non-jailbroken users to locate their device, for the price of $2.99.
According to AndroLib, the authority on Android stats, the Android Market currently offers consumers 90,000 apps for their Android devices. That is a pretty impressive number objectively speaking and it is even more amazing when considering that the Market is less than two years old.
