ThruIT

As many of you may know, Apple has officially announced that it will be holding a media even on the 27th days of this month. And as is customary with any Apple event…rumors are coming out of the woodworks.

To make your life a bit easier as THE BIG DAY grows near, here is a list of interesting rumors we’ve seen around the Interwebz related to this event:

It seems as though HTC might have hit the nail on the head with their upcoming release of the new HTC Passion/Bravo. It also seems as though there is a bit of confusion from major technology blog sites Engadget and Gizmodo about the branding of the phone in the US. Engadget headlines their article, “HTC Bravo pictured more lucidly (Update: coming to US in January as HTC Passion)”, while Gizmodo’s article reads as “HTC’s Passion to be Known as Bravo in States”

Hmm… Sounds like someone got confused somewhere.

I think I can speak for all of us at ThruIT when I say that we are all lazy gadget freaks. But I know that most of us love food… and when I say love, I mean lovvvvve food. So when it comes to Thanksgiving, we reach an epic conundrum: sooo much food but way too much work to be done. There is plenty to be thankful for this Thanksgiving in the tech world, but every other blogger out there decided to post those lists (Wired, Crunch Crunch, IMLP Blog, etc.). So I decided to mix things up a little bit a present you with some ways to keep thanksgiving techy. This list should help you infuse technology into your thanksgiving festivities.

It’s hard to believe that Apple launched its first attempt at the iTunes Store just six years ago. What started out as a digital store that had a selection of only around 200,000 songs has now transformed into an online marketplace for over 10 million Songs, Movies, Podcasts, Audiobooks, TV Shows, and Applications. Today, the iTunes Store has sold over 8.5 Billion songs, 1 Billion Videos, and 2 Billion apps. Apple and the iTunes store are now responsible for 88% of the “Legal” music download market.

Do we really remember what listening to and purchasing music was like before iTunes… or the iPod for that matter? These numbers are a testament to the type of transformation that’s been made from an industry which once relied almost solely on going to your local record store and purchasing a CD.
