Apple has announced that we can now purchase iPhone contract free at Apple store or at AT&T stores.  This is very interesting timing that Apple chose to make this move. Just a little less than a week since the launch of AT&T compatible Nexus One, Apple finally made the move. It seems though that Apple is intimidated by Google’s expansion into AT&T network and may be they felt the need to give current AT&T customers the options they deserved. These contract free iPhone will be priced at $499.99 for the 8GB, $599.99 for the 16GB, and $699.99 for the 32GB model. Although you are able to purchase this contract free, it will still be locked to the AT&T network.

Planning on getting an iPad? Need a carrying soft-case? Well there is a solution to that! The iMaxi by Etsy. This is simply a soft-case that is shaped into a pad that will wrap your iPad for protection. Although this sounds ridiculous, it apparently does what it’s supposed to. And very well. Will be sold for $40 plus $7 shipping in the US. Some sort of customization options are available.

Despite the fact the iPad can’t legally be pre-ordered right this moment, it looks like rumors are beginning to fly around that this Thursday, the 25th, could be the start date for Apple to start pre-orderes on their upcoming tablet. Nothing is official at all right now, but we’ll be sure to keep you up to date as soon as we find out more.

It’s looking more and more like a quick-bits news day today. We don’t necessarily have a problem with that, but when it’s something as juicy as this, we’d like to have just a bit more information to give you. Either way, it looks like Nintendo is indeed hard at work at creating a new piece of gaming hardware bliss for everyone out there. It was confirmed by Shigeryu Miyamoto himself, along with the fact that there are more MotionPlus titles coming out soon. The big question is: mobile console, or home-based console? Who knows. Hopefully we find out sooner than later.

Just a quick update: the nook is finally funneling into stores this week. You can also finally start ordering it from Barnes and Noble’s website, and expect a realistic delivery date from this point on. Now that the hardware and software are up to par, after some heavily-needed updates, it seems manufacturing is finally meeting expectation. Of course, it has to deal with the iPad’s announcement, but for those looking for a lofty eBook reader, this is the way to go.
