Amazon.com Delivers HD On Demand is upping their quality to HD. HD movies will rent for $3.99-$4.99 and TV Shows will be $2.99. AT&T and Apple sold 1.6 million iPhones the first quarter of 2009, giving AT&T a 38.6% increase in data revenue. There are rumors that they don’t want to the SlingPlayer for iPhone app to be approved because they’re worried about not being able to support that kind of load. Here’s hoping they use the increase in revenue to build out their infrastructure. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 from EA Sports will be released June 15th.
