Verizon preparing to say bye-byes to unlimited iPhone Data plan....ummm Hey AT&T about my contract..

Amplify’d from www.mobilecrunch.com

The operator currently offers a $30/month “unlimited” (but potentially throttled) data plan.

According to a Cellular News report, Shammo said “Why did we do the unlimited $30 plan on the iPhone? Well, the reason we did that was we didn’t really want to put up a barrier to anybody who wanted to come over and experience the Verizon Wireless network. So we felt it was important to go out at the $30.”

Got a #Verizon iPhone? Check out these 15 Apps that you may LOVE!

Amplify’d from www.technewsdaily.com

15 Must-Have Apps for the New Verizon iPhone User

Angry Birds

Angry Birds has taken the iPhone app market by storm. It's already been downloaded 50 million times and rakes in over 200 million minutes of play-time every single day, making it the iPhone’s No.1 app. The premise is easy: Users catapult a series of cross-eyed birds at green pigs hiding under various building structures. By knocking down the structures and hitting the pigs, gamers earn points and move on to the next level. After playing a level or two, the addiction potential is apparent to all. Price: 99 cents. A free version is also available.

AroundMe

AroundMe comes in handy when you want to know what's, well, around you. This free app fills you in on your surroundings. If you’re out on the road and want to find the closest gas stations, hotels, restaurants, movie theaters or banks, AroundMe will keep you on top of what’s nearby and show you how to get there.

Calvetica

Sure, the iPhone's standard calendar works just fine. However, Calvetica's app is so organized and dynamic that it’s too good to resist. Adding events can be done in just two taps and it works well with other calendar programs, too, from Google to MobileMe, Exchange and Outlook. It also lets you color-code meetings, add notes and provides upcoming and past event notifications so you won't accidentally miss reminders. Price: $2.99.

ESPN ScoreCenter

ESPN ScoreCenter offers comprehensive sports coverage from around the world, whether you are into the NFL or cricket. Personalized scoreboards and live game details provide last play, in-game stats, box scores, game summaries and standings. You can easily follow your favorite team by getting score updates, breaking news alerts and analysis from ESPN writers. Price: free.

Fandango

Find out what's playing in local theaters, watch trailers and interviews (many in HD), read reviews and even order tickets. When traveling, it locates where you are and tells you how to get to the closest theaters. Price: free.

Facebook, Twitter

Social networkers need no introduction to Facebook or Twitter, so downloading these apps will only make life easier. The apps are designed for a better viewing experience compared to visiting the sites via a standard webpage on the device. In October 2010, 150 million Facebook users were using their smartphones to update their status. Price: free.

iheartradio

iheartradio delivers more than 750 radio stations right to your phone, so even when you're out of town, it's easy to listen in on your favorite stations from home. Users can also tag songs for purchase on iTunes and view lyrics. Programming also includes syndicated stations from AT40 with Ryan Seacrest to Elvis Duran and the Morning Show to talk stations such as White House Brief and Glenn Beck. Price: free.

Kindle

iPhone users don't need a Kindle device to access the e-books in Amazon's robust collection. The free Kindle app lets you buy and read any e-book available on Amazon, and it allows you customize the experience with text sizes. Reading on the go has never been easier.

Reeder

This sleek app is a must for those that live by their RSS feeds. The app syncs up with Google Reader, lets you browse your feed and manage starred items and notes. Reading the text is an easy-on-the-eyes experience, and a new pinch to zoom feature gets you up close to images. Price: $2.99.

RunKeeper

Fitness fans will love this GPS-fueled app that tracks your workout, whether you’re running in the park or on a treadmill. The intuitive interface makes it simple to track distance, time, speed and calories burned. Once an activity is completed, the data is synced to the RunKeeper website (www.runkeeper.com), where running history and other stats are archived. This once-pricey app ($10) is now available for free.

Scrabble

Everyone's favorite word game is available via app form and lets you play up to 25 games at once, either against random opponents or your friends (up to four can play the same game). You can also play against your Facebook friends. An in-game chat feature even lets you smack talk along the way. Price: 99 cents. Shazam Shazam is perfect for music fans who want to know which artist is singing the song for that new car commercial. By pointing the iPhone toward the music source, Shazam identifies the name of the song, the artist and the year it was made. However, the free version of the app lets you track only five songs a month.

Shop Savvy

Smart shoppers go crazy for Shop Savvy. By scanning a barcode of an item with the iPhone's camera, users receive all the best prices for the product on the Internet and at local stores. It also comes with a "Deals" feature, which provides information on shipping promos, coupon codes, rebates, weekend sales and more. Price: free.

Wikipedia

Everything you ever wanted to know is now just a click away. The user-generated online encyclopedia is packaged nicely with this app and even gives information about things around you. So if you can’t figure out what that strange statue is outside your hotel, the Wikipedia app will clue you in. Price: free.

The Weather Channel

The Weather Channel app goes beyond the weather app that comes with the iPhone. It gives extended forecasts, provides weather alerts in your area and features interactive radar maps. Judging by the severe weather recently, this could easily become one of the most useful apps in your collection. Price: free.

FREE ALERT: Get your 1000 FREE minutes from AT&T before it's too late..

Amplify’d from www.tuaw.com

at&t free minutesLoyal AT&T iPhone customer? AT&T wants to say thank you to iPhone owners by sending you 1000 free rollover minutes. All you have to do is text.

We first heard about this free 1000 minutes deal earlier today but declined to post because we weren't sure that AT&T really was offering it to all customers. We sent an email to AT&T PR and never heard back, but since 9to5Mac claims that AT&T has confirmed this is legitimate for all customers, here are the details of how to claim your minutes.

Hop in to your SMS app and send off the message YES to 11113020 by March 31, 2011. Your account will be credited with 1000 bonus rollover minutes -- although it can take up to four weeks to process the offer. Enjoy!

Update: We contacted AT&T via Seth Bloom (blogger relations) to ensure this was legit and he said, "It's a valid text that some customers are getting. We've done it before, thanking customers."

FREE ALERT! 20 fantastic FREE iPhone Apps for Parents

20 Fantastic Free iPhone Apps for Parents

iphone_3gs

webmd-mobile

WebMD’s iPhone app enables parents to look up symptoms and try to figure out what’s ailing their children. Of course, it shouldn’t take the place of professional medical advice, but for those cases when your child has a minor rash, fever, cough, etc., this is a great resource to try and narrow down what is going on, and prepare for a doctor visit if necessary.

shutterfly-iphone

Although you won’t get professional quality photos from your iPhone, the 3 mega-pixels are sufficient for taking quick snapshots of your kids. And with this app, you can instantly upload photos to your Shutterfly account, send them to your friends and family, and let the bragging begin.

timeout

Kids’ behavior is unpredictable and there’s no knowing when a time-out may be necessary. When you’re away from the confines of your house and your kids act up, this simple timer on your phone can be used to track a time-out.

sitorsquat

Ask your kids one minute if they have to use the bathroom and the answer is “no.” The next minute, they’re doing the potty dance. SitOrSquat is a great app to have on your phone when you are out-and-about in an unfamiliar place and need to know where the closest public restroom is located.

kidstatz

KidStatz LITE is an app that enables you to house basic information about your child, his/her physical characteristics, medical information and a photo. In the horrible event that your child goes missing, this will help you have immediate access to crucial information. The lite version enables you to email the information directly from the app, as well as call the police, but does not offer the option to enter information for multiple children, as the full version does. This type of app is a must-have for any parent.
