Walmart iphone price drop by $100

Folks who are interested in buying iPhone will be happy to hear that Walmart has decreased the prices of the iPhones. The iPhone 3G is now on sale for CAD$97 + taxes with contract depending upon your carrier and nearest store.

The cause of price drop could be new iPhone arriving with 4G, the next generation which will definitely lead to price drop of iPhone 3G which is on sale by Walmart. The news I read also confirms that they had a very big stock of iPhone 3G which lead to steep decrease in the price. At the same time Apple is no more accepting orders for iPhone 3G while some time ago the iPhone 4G also leaked which might be the cause of price drop.

As still what will be in 4G is not confirmed by Apple Inc it is well established that it would be another step stone in Smartphone arena.

People donated hair of their head for oil cleanup

A charity based on San Francisco named Matter of Trust reported hundreds of thousands of pounds of hair donated from United States,Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Spain and UK spreading awareness through well main stream media and social networking sites.

Hair for Oil Spills program is an effective idea, as hays (not hairs) can be used to soak the oil and fishermen can be paid for clearing the oil spill. This strategy can provide income to fishermen who are badly affected by the oil spill while oil giants are still fighting over taking responsibility of the oil spill. The farmers who make the hays can make money selling the hay so we can have multiple winner here.

Here is the matter of trust video. However BP has acknowledged its awareness of this solution and decided to stick with Sornet bolls mad by Andax Industries as there is no shortage of Sorbent booms at the moment.

Analyst house NPD at UK research held a comparison of smart phone OS market in US. According to NPD the android handset acquires 28% of market while keeping RIM at first place with 36% of market share leaving Apple's at third place with 21%.

Mr Rubin from NPD announces that BlackBerry 6, HP's acquisition of Palm, Windows 7 phone by Microsoft shows large companies have eyed upon increasing smarphone market (of course after iPhone success) to meet consumer demand.

While comparing carrier shares (not by NPD) AT & T has largest slice of smart phone market while keeping Verizon at 2nd place, T-mobile at 3rd.

In one of the news[3] showed chart below which compares the sales results of Apple's iPhone and Motorola Droid (an Android OS phone) for first 74 days. The launch dates were: iPhone, June 29, 2007; Droid, November 5, 2009; and, Nexus One, January 5, 2010.



Definitely it raises a question that is Android phones are iPhone killer? Whatever the answer may be but it is definitely affecting RIM's stock prices.
