iPhone Gets More Battery Life!

Apple today announced that iPhone will deliver significantly longer battery life when it ships on June 29 than was originally estimated when iPhone was unveiled in January. iPhone will feature up to 8 hours of talk time, 6 hours of Internet use, 7 hours of video playback or 24 hours of audio playback.* In addition, iPhone will feature up to 250 hours-more than 10 days-of standby time. Apple also announced that the entire top surface of iPhone, including its stunning 3.5-inch display, has been upgraded from plastic to optical-quality glass to achieve a superior level of scratch resistance and optical clarity.

“With 8 hours of talk time, and 24 hours of audio playback, iPhone’s battery life is longer than any other ‘Smartphone’ and even longer than most MP3 players,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We’ve also upgraded iPhone’s entire top surface from plastic to optical-quality glass for superior scratch resistance and clarity. There has never been a phone like iPhone, and we can’t wait to get this truly magical product into the hands of customers starting just 11 days from today.”

iPhone introduces an entirely new user interface based on a revolutionary multi-touch display and pioneering new software that allows users to control iPhone with just a tap, flick or pinch of their fingers. iPhone combines three products into one small and lightweight handheld device — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod, and the Internet in your pocket with best-ever applications on a mobile phone for email, web browsing and maps. iPhone ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, which completely redefines what users can do on their
mobile phones.

Pricing and Availability
iPhone will be available in the US on June 29, 2007 in a 4GB model for $499 (US) and an 8GB model for $599 (US), and will work with either a PC or
Mac. iPhone will be sold in the US through Apple’s retail and online stores, and through AT&T’s select retail stores.

Fantastic Four Rises to its Calling

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

They answered the call and rose to the challenge of taking over the box office. In fact doing $1 million more than the original film. I have yet to see Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer so I can’t make a swift comment about what I’ve already written. So without any further ado I give you the box office chart of the weekend.

1. “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” $57.4 million.

2. “Ocean’s Thirteen,” $19.1 million.

3. “Knocked Up,” $14.5 million.

4. “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” $12 million.

5. “Surf’s Up,” $9.3 million.

6. “Shrek the Third,” $9 million.

7. “Nancy Drew,” $7.1 million.

8. “Hostel: Part II,” $3 million.

9. “Mr. Brooks,” $2.8 million.

10. “Spider-Man 3,” $2.5 million.

BlackSite: Area 51 Screenshots

When Midway came out saying that BlackSite: Area 51 would be released around the same time as Halo 3 I laughed. I thought that there’s no way BlackSite: Area 51 could compete with the mega Halo 3. Midway’s latest batch of screenshots has changed my mind. Sure BlackSite: Area 51 will not be able to sell nearly as many units as Halo 3, but BlackSite: Area 51 will sell a great amount! The creatures in this game look fantastic! Check them out for yourself in The Pipeline’s Video Game Screenshot show.

Diner Dash: Sizzle and Serve (+)

Being a restaurant owner has never been more fun! My suggestion is to play the PC version, but it still makes for a fun DS title albeit repetitive.
