GBTV #555 (HD) | Amazon VOD, AT&T Revenue Increase, T…
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. It will include WiiMotionPlus, as will Grand Slam Tennis in Europe. Dave Ramsey is hosting what might be the largest streaming event ever attempted. It’s called Town Hall for Hope. It’s all about how NOT to participate in the recession. You can get more information at TownHallForHope.com. I talked about Tweetie being one of my Top 5 iPhone Apps. They just released a desktop version for the Mac. It has multiple account support and is a great tool for casual users. You can download it at atebits.com/tweetie-mac. You can save money on domain name registrations and renewals from GoDaddy.com with discount codes GB1, GB2 and GB3. For an explanation of each code, click here.
