Yesterday, Warner Brothers announced that they will begin selling movies as apps in the Apple Store. The apps offer a downloadable version as well as a streaming version of the movie.

So far, Inception is available for $11.99, and The Dark Knight for $9.99.

The apps are available as universal apps for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, they offers subtitles and have a component that allow users to interact via Facebook and Twitter.

After downloading the app, iPhone 4 users have the choice of 8 different cases, only one of the eight (a black Bumper) being from Apple. Each case has an estimated shipping time of a speedy 3-5 weeks. Most of these cases aren’t really available yet so reviews are scarce, but here is a general breakdown of what’s available.

Ideally, users would be able to walk into their local Apple store and pick up their case. Even though five weeks is a really long time to wait if you are experiencing serious antenna issues, at least the price is right. Now, for those users who just don’t like the iPhone 4 anymore:

Which case will you get?

Since the release of the iPhone OS4 (now known as iOS4) and the news that multi-tasking will be a feature, we’ have been waiting for when Apple would start accepting apps for the new iPhone operating system. Today the wait is over as Apple will be now be accepting iOS4 apps.

Developers will now be able to take advantage of the multitasking feature as well as the 1500 other new APIs in the system when it launches on June 21. However, this news will be taken with some hesitation from many devs as there are still be some hurdles to overcome. For example only certain tasks will be allowed in the background. Apps that need to run persistently, like IRC and IM clients, will not function. Apple will need to provide additional backgrounding tools so that users can receive the features they want.

Though this change may to multitasking may come with it’s growing pains, it will eventually be worth it. Let the developing begin!

Everyday, I check all the usual resources, Apple.com, TUAW, 9to5mac, MacRumors and finally today, I got my answer:

Developers from Argentina, China, Germany, Sweden, England, and Canada were given this weekend to compete at the iPadDevCamp to develop the best app for the iPad. The best apps received various prizes that ranges from iPads to keyboards and cases. There were many prize-winning apps created.  The Relay app allows you to drag web sites, text, and music to and from the iPad and computer.  The iPad Slot Machine app integrates the iPhone and the iPad.  In this iPad Slot Machine, the iPhone acts as the “lever” of the slot machine, which is comprised of 3 iPads.  When the iPhone is thrown or the “lever is pulled,” the iPad shows spinning objects and these objects will spin similarly to a slot machine.  However, among the imaginative apps created, there was one specific app that caught our eye, or rather, in our ear.

Destroy The Silence is an iPad experiment by Rana Sobhany.  The purpose of this experiment is to question whether users can professionally DJ with two iPads and an iPhone. Sobhany asks DJs, listeners and the like to question if the iPad will revolutionize the way people create music. Time will only tell if this new way of DJ-ing will work, but listen to this beat and make your own decision [via DestroytheSilence].

Disclaimer: If I have made you reminisce about Nelly back in the day and if you are still wondering why he wore that band-aid on his face, I will satiate your desire for remembering the past and leave you with this video of “Hot In Herre” by Nelly:

Luke Wilson vs. Big Red. iPhone vs. Blackberry.  These enemies are no more.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is noted to be producing an iPhone for Verizon.  Supposedly, “the new iPhones is being manufactured by Taiwanese contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., which produced Apple’s previous iPhones. The model that has CDMA capability, used by Verizon Wireless, is being manufactured by Pegatron Technology Corp., the contract manufacturing subsidiary of Taiwan’s ASUSTeK Computer Inc., said these people” [via Wall Street Journal]. Apple, Pegatron, Hon Hai and Verizon have not commented on this potential product.  While all of these companies are pleading the 5th, Apple will yield the greatest results as they will be benefiting from both AT&T and Verizon users.

I know plenty of iPhone users who are frustrated with AT&T services and now they will be able to continue to enjoy their user interface and apps on their iPhone with Verizon.  So maybe Apple isn’t causing incest breeding between these two providers, but Steve Jobs is dipping into two honey pots.
