Apple Inc., AAPL

SAN FRANCISCO (CRWENEWSWIRE) — Apple Inc. (NASDAQGS:AAPL) announced a smaller, cheaper version of its Apple TV device for streaming movies and television shows over the Internet and into the living room. It also unveiled a new line of iPods, including a touch-screen Nano model during a televised press release.

The tiny new Apple TV system announced Wednesday will only let people rent, not buy, content. For first-run high-definition movies the day they come out on DVD, people will have to pay $4.99. High-definition TV show rentals will be 99 cents.

The price of the box is also being cut to $99, from $229. Cheaper options for streaming video had been available, including Roku’s set-top boxes that start at $60.

Apple TV has been around since 2007, but it hasn’t caught on with the mainstream. For one thing, it doesn’t record shows the way TiVo and other digital video recorders do. And the need to sync the box with a computer was too complicated for most consumers, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said.

“We’ve sold a lot of them, but it’s never been a huge hit,” Jobs said.

The new Apple TV, which will be available within a month, will give people access to the high-definition version of top movies, though Jobs didn’t say which movie studios have agreed to include their titles for streaming. People who watch content from Netflix Inc. streamed over the Internet can also access their “instant” queue through Apple TV.

Some media companies have raised concerns that the 99-cent television rentals would undercut higher-priced offerings for permanent download, which sell for $1.99 and $2.99.

Apple also showcased it’s iTunes makeover, updates to software for the iPhones, iPod Touch and the iPad.

Shares of Apple gained $6.30, or 2.6 percent, to $249.40 in afternoon trading Wednesday.

Overall, Apple and Steve Jobs had a great day!

Motorola Inc,. MOT

Mobile phone manufacturer Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) intends to invest $3.5 billion into its mobile-phone and set-top box units that will be spun off in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. A lot of this money comes from activist billionaire Carl Ichan who continues to plow money into Motorola as the company prepares to split off its mobile-phone and set-top box unit into a new company.

Icahn bought about 14.8 million shares in the communications-device maker between Aug. 26 and Tuesday for $111 million, or about $7.50 per share. Icahn now owns about 250 million Motorola shares, or a 10.7% stake.

The money will be used to manage and build the business and make acquisitions. The Motorola Mobility unit is applying for a separate listing on the New York Stock Exchange. Motorola’s spin-off has been in progress since early 2008. The company decided to split its Mobile Devices and Home Division as Motorola Mobility and the Enterprise Mobility Solutions and Networks businesses as Motorola Solutions.

Although Motorola shows a huge sequential growth of its 3G smartphones, in absolute terms, the 2.7 million device shipment is far behind other leading manufacturers, and is not anticipated to reach the lofty numbers of other smart phone makers. After the success of Droid, Motorola launched Droid 2, which is an enhanced version of Droid and Droid X with double the speed and memory of the original Droid phone.

With effective cost control measures, massive demand for wireless broadband services and newly introduced high-end c it support Motorola’s stock price in the near term.

Motorola, Inc. offers technologies, products, and services for mobile communications worldwide. It operates in three segments: Mobile Devices, Home and Networks Mobility, and Enterprise Mobility Solutions.

ST. LOUIS, July 30 CRWENewswire- Financial Blog, ChristianPF.com released an article that looks at personal finance iPhone apps and how they can help you manage your finances better. The article looks at money management tools for the iPhone - some well known, and some less common.

You like saving money. Okay, maybe on things other than your high-dollar iPhone. Well, now that you have one, wouldn’t you say it’s time to put it to good use and improve your finances? Here are five iPhone apps that are sure to put you on the right track.

1. Ask Dave Ramsey

That’s right! Dave just released his first iPhone application. The app taps Ramsey’s vast database of questions and answers from his radio show. Learn about all kinds of topics such as insurance, mortgages, taxes, bankruptcy, budgeting, and so much more! Dave’s app is currently the #1 free finance app in the App Store. The great thing about this app is that it gives you a concise, text version of the audio clips – perfect for learning during coffee breaks.

2. Mint.com

Perhaps one of the most robust, free financial applications in the App Store. As discussed in this review of Mint.com, Mint now allows you to track your income for budgeting purposes. With Mint, you can attach many of your online financial accounts to get a bird’s-eye view of your finances. I love the budgeting progress bars, which show you how much you’ve spent in relation to where you are at in the month.

3. PayPal.com

Everyone knows and loves PayPal. But did you know you can send and receive money on your iPhone with the PayPal app? If you’re an online entrepreneur or an eBay enthusiast, PayPal for the iPhone is for you. One hidden but nice feature about this app is that you can set up payment reminders – never forget a payment again!
4. ING Direct

I’m a big fan of the Orange Savings Account, and now fans can manage their ING Direct accounts easily on their iPhone! You can use bill pay in order to take care of your payments on the go. Highly recommended!

5. Balance

For those of you who are looking to replace your balance register, try this free app! It’s simple and straightforward. Easily enter all your accounts, and process transactions as you make them. This is a great alternative to pen and paper.
How To Make Them Work For You

It can be tempting to use finance apps as an alternative to cash. Instead, try taking a hybrid approach – use cash and debit cards along with electronic tracking of your accounts. The envelope system is great for people on a tight budget, as it is visual and therefore difficult to hand over cash without thinking about how much you have left to spend.

So there you have it – five iPhone apps to get your finances on track! Perhaps you use a different platform – maybe Android or Windows Mobile.

Reported by: Anza, Crwenewswire Mideast Correspondent.

There is an eighty percent chance that T-Mobile will be offering the Apple iPhone, rumors and reports state. If the news proves to be true, it will be a revolution for the wireless industry, turning the current trends for the game players of the iPhone industry, and companies and individuals wanting the iPhone for their professional needs will find this to their advantage. But with the issues facing the iPhones whether this is a good idea for T-mobile is still up in the air.

Currently AT&T is the exclusive distributor of the Apple iPhone and rumors of ending this exclusivity are not new. However, unlike the current reports, it has always been discussed that Verizon, a primary competitor of AT&T, would be the next one to offer the infamous smartphone.

Where iPhone uses the GSM network Verizon depends on CDMA. For those who don’t understand, this mean that offering the iPhone on Verizon would mean a full re-structuring of the iPhones would be required to make it compatible with Verizon’s CDMA towers. Unlike Verizon, T-Mobile uses the same technology as the AT&T’s network i.e. the CDMA. This is one of the points making it easier for T-Mobile to implement the iPhone with T-mobile.

Whether it is CDMA or GSM, the demise of iPhone’s exclusivity is expected to shake the entire wireless industry. The separation of iPhone from the AT&T network will clear the question of whether the issues faced by iPhone customers are due to the improper make of the device or if it is the deficiencies of the AT&T network; or maybe both.

Currently RIM is topping the smartphone market share charts, maybe the wider availability due to the introduction of the iPhone will propel the iPhone to the top of the charts. One can see that if the iPhone is represented by Sprint or Verizon in the future, then businessmen shall have to choose between the iPhone and devices which are ‘iPhone-like’, such as the EVO 4G and the Droid X.

An evenhanded Android smartphone at AT&T is the Samsung Captivate. But still the Captivate is neither comparable to Droid X nor does AT&T let it do so by intentionally limiting the device with proprietary restrictions. If iPhones exclusivity ends, then it would make it possible to compare how the iPhone and the Android fare, when allowed to go head to head in the market.

T-Mobile is known to provide unlimited data, a service only recently cut off by AT&T. Thus an iPhone by T-Mobile will mean customers would be able to enjoy the unlimited data plan. For only a meager $80 a month, T-Mobile currently offers an unlimited plan for virtually anything from talking to text and even Web surfing. A package similar to this by AT&T would cost about $115 a month and would only allow 2 GB data usage.

AT&T should be concerned because if T-Mobile offers the iPhone, it would mean thirty percent cheaper prices and unlimited data at the same time, a service which would take some tough decisions to achieve, for AT&T and any other future representative of the iPhone.

AT&T is now expected to re-map its pricing plans, data plans, policies and ETF. For being the only lion in the jungle may be simpler but in competition you have to practice to roar louder!

Six Apps For Tibet: Bringing Travel Books to the Palm of Your Hand

For anybody who has ever bought travel books at a book store, you know that a good travel book can set you back anywhere from $15 - $30. However, in the last three years, there has been a surge in travel-related applications for smartphones, the iPhone in particular.

Indeed, some of the most popular applications on the iPhone are travel-related applications that give the user instant access to flight information, rental car reservations, local restaurants and the like. But there is also a new line of applications that provide even more information, like pictures and specifics of the sights worth seeing and the other nuances that usually only a travel book will provide.

An example of this new travel application is a series of six applications called a “Hello Tibet”. This new line of applications is offered in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese and provides travel information and imagery for six different regions of Tibet.

With three million visitors to Tibet each year (mostly from China and other Asian countries), and the vast land a traveler can visit, this is a great way to put the information you need to know at the palm of your hand. The application was created by Zamage Digital Art Imaging, Inc. (PinkSheets: ZMGD) and its subsidiary, EverdowCRM, and is sure to boast impressive sales in the coming months.

Everdow’s leading on-demand customer relationship management (CRM) application empowers users throughout your business to create and access marketing, sales, and service information without the need for IT. You can use packaged reports — or create custom ones — to instantly analyze and report on your on-demand CRM data.

F, Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F)

Ford Makes It Easier to Avoid Texting While Driving

With laws in Michigan and other states cracking down on texting while driving, Ford (NYSE: F) unveiled some new features to its SYNC platform, an all-in-one navigation, communication, and entertainment center that takes the next step in Ford’s goal of transforming the automobile into one big, safety-conscious, smartphone on wheels.

New features in Ford’s SYNC product include a “Do Not Disturb” button that saves your texts for you until you’ve parked your car, and a text-to-voice function that reads your text messages to you. Many distracting applications are locked out when the car is in motion, including Web browsing, displaying texts onscreen, navigation entry by touchscreen, and photo editing.

The more we fiddle with our smartphones while driving, the more dangerous it becomes. So, the ability to interface, in a seamless way, with your car’s dashboard is crucial.

Auto supplier Delphi is also working on a system that automatically shuts down any text- or video-centered app when you put your car into drive. But Ford appears to be among the first to have implemented these controls.

If the automotive and mobile industries do not figure out a way to prevent accidents on their own, you can expect tougher laws on the books — especially if more accidents occur as a result of driver distraction.

About Ford

Ford Motor Company designs, develops, manufactures, and services cars and trucks worldwide. It operates in two sectors, Automotive and Financial Services. The Automotive sector sells vehicles under Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, and Volvo brand names.
