Quickoffice Now Available in App Store

Quickoffice is now available in the App Store for $19.99. It hasn't gotten great reviews so far, but future updates will likely fix most of the problems that are being brought up.

Rumors of a New Hulu App

It is rumored that Hulu will be releasing a new app soon. The one feature I want most on my iPhone is to watch TV, whether it be live or previously recorded. There are other apps out there that offer mobile television, such as CBS's TV.com app, but nothing comparable to this. The sheer magnitude of full episodes on Hulu.com is amazing, and to have access to all of those shows on the go would be even more amazing. 

Now for the bad news. A much as I hate to say it, there is a chance that Apple would not approve this app for the App Store. I understand that the availability of this app would hurt the sales of TV show sales, but the availability of Hulu will also bring new attention to the iPhone and iPod Touch. And besides, even without this app, I wouldn't buy a TV Show from iTunes, and i have never bought one since they became available (If I win the $10,000 iTunes giftcard from Apple's Billion App Countdown contest, that might change though). 

So, let's all cross our fingers and hope that this app will be approved. 

New Poll Shows Apple's Dominance Among Teens

After taking a look at Piper Jaffray's biannual Teen Survey, it is clear, as expected, that Apple has a very promising future. Out of the 600 teens surveyed, 86% had an iPod (or any variation), while only 4% had a Zune and 2% a Sony. And of the 114 teens who plan on purchasing an mp3 player in the next 12 months, a whopping 100% plan on getting an iPod.

Although 600 people isn't a huge platform for a survey, there is no doubt that Apple has a significant leg up against all other competitors.

Almost 1 BILLION App Downloads

Today, Apple anounced that they have almost reached the 1 billion mark for the number of apps downloaded. To celebrate, Apple has announced a contest. All that you have to do is download apps from the App Store, either from your computer, or from your iPhone/iPod Touch, and you will be entered (there's a limit of 25 entries per person per day). Prizes include a 17" Macbook Pro, a 32GB iPod Touch, and a $10,000 iTunes giftcard. The contest will end once the 1 billionth app is downloaded, so start downloading now if you want to win. I'm not really sure what you would do with $10,000 of iTunes credit, but I'm sure I could manage.
