iPhone App: Casio G-SHOCK

Brought to you from Casio G-SHOCK directly onto your iPhone, the G-SHOCK App allows you to fully experience the watch’s toughness and functions without the hefty price tag. The G-SHOCK App provides users with not only the functionality of a standard G-SHOCK watch, but it also includes two games that mimic the resistance and durability of the watch.

The first game included is “G-SHOCK ATTACK”, a shock resistant game. The objective of the game is to tap on the screen to inflict as much damage as possible. The second game is “G-SHOCK DIVE”, a water resistant game. The game entails users to blow into the microphone continuously to sink their watch. What do you get in return for destroying your watches? New ones! That’s right – by beating the games, you win new G-SHOCKS, which sounds almost too good to be true.

The G-SHOCK app is currently available on Apple iTunes.

Apple's iPad will be available in Verizon stores next week

Apple just made an announcement on Thursday regarding the deal with Verizon wireless as Apple is in plans to increase the iPad sales in the holiday shopping season. 

There is also news that, Verizon is in discussions with Apple to sell the Apple iPhones. Currently, Apple iPad’s and Apple iPhones are available only in the AT&T which is good news for most iPhone users who are having difficulties in getting good signals on their AT&T mobile device.

I once lived in a basement of my apartment and was lucky if my iPhone would've get at least a bar of an AT&T signal. Also, last year during a trip to New York, I hardly get a signal in most of NY's subways while my friend's  Verizon phone got a full bar of signal, but in all fairness, AT&T is now investing on cell sites in an effort to address issues like these from their customers.

Verizon will begin selling the iPad directly to customers on October 28, 2010 according to a note on the carrier's Web site. Verizon is offering the Wi-Fi only, non-3G version of the device at Apple's suggested retail prices

                 16GB = $499

                  32GB = $599  

                  64GB = 699 

Three Wi-Fi models of the Apple iPad will be available in the Verizon Wireless stores from October 28. Also, there is a Verizon bundle ( iPad WiFi + Verizon's MiFi) avalable which ranges from $629 for the 16-gigabyte (GB) iPad to $829 for the 64 GB model.

The iPad has become one of the hottest selling gadgets in tech industry history since Apple introduced it on April 3rd. Apple sold 300,000 of the devices the first day they were on sale, and more than 2 million units in the first 80 days of availability.

Experts believe that Apple is going to be top in sales this holiday shopping season.
