TRLT BOT has released a pair of new eco-friendly iPhone 4 cases – both are made from 100% recycled plastic.
The Minimalist has a built-in wallet and ID/credit card holder, and the TRLT Stand (as you may have guessed) has a built-in stand (above). Each case runs $34.99 and can be picked up on trtlbot.com. They’ve also got some 3G/3GS cases in the Minimalist design for $24.99. You can also find the TRTL BOT cases on Amazon.
Netflix has updated its iPhone app to support video out for iPhone 4. More importantly for me though is the other little asterisk in the release notes: bug fixes.
I can finally play a complete video without the app crashing on my iPhone 3G. I’ve been cooking along on Top Gear Season 11 now for over an hour with no hiccups. [click to continue…]
Netflix for iPhone has arrived. And, really this is more like Netflix Instant Streaming for iPhone than a full-fledged Netflix app. While the instant streaming will satisfy a large majority of customers, there is a growing outcry (even on the first day) for the ability to manage your queue outside of the the instant streaming titles, something that you can do on the iPad version of the app.
I was quite stoked to hear this news and had hoped to provide a firsthand report. However, after a full day of cursing my iPhone 3G through software updates, downloads and account verifications, all I get when I start the Netflix app is a bright, white screen.
I’ve read a few other accounts of this happening online, but no solid resolutions outside of some snake oil and voodoo. I’m running iOS 4.0.2, by the way.
I’m hoping this gets resolved soon and I can turn my iPhone-turned-iPod (I dropped AT&T in favor of Sprint earlier this month, but still benefit from WiFi connections) into a little personal TV. This is so cruel right now.
Adobe has shared a cool video that shows off the power of its Digital Publishing Platform (used for designing Wired’s iPad version), which should be available to the general public later this summer via Adobe Labs.
Anyone who has suffered through the constant dropped calls with every iteration of the iPhone on AT&T’s craptastic network will appreciate the “credible” reports from Bloomberg that the iPhone will arrive on Verizon in January of next year. [click to continue…]
