It looks like T-Mobile is finally going to get the iPhone.  The cell phone giant will make an announcement next week that the iPhone will be available on their network in early 2013 according to BGR

T-Mobile USA may announce as early as next week that it will finally carry Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone. In a note to clients on Thursday, Merrill Lynch analyst Scott Craig reports “speculation is heightening” that Deutche Telekom will announce the iPhone’s imminent arrival on its subsidiary T-Mobile during next week’s analyst day meetings, scheduled to take place on December 6th and 7th. While T-Mobile hasn’t yet begun to roll out its new LTE network, the carrier has devoted a tremendous amount of resources to updating its HSPA data network in order to make it compatible with Apple’s current iPhone models. According to Fortune, Craig notes that a T-Mobile launch would add 33 million subscribers to Apple’s addressable market in the U.S., giving Apple access to 98% of all post-paid wireless subscribers in the country.

As a T-Mobile subscriber myself all I can say is IT’S ABOUT TIME!!!!

Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger are what I call game changers. The two 20-something year old founders of the photo sharing app Instagram announced earlier today that they have sold their company for $1 Billion to the folks over at Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg is coughing up the cash and stocks for the company.

The two men both graduated from Stanford prior to working for other tech companies leading up to the inception of Instagram 2 years ago.

In a statement on their website, the duo said “When we were kids we loved playing around with cameras — we loved how all the old Polaroid cameras marketed themselves as ‘instant’ (something we take for granted today). We also felt that the snapshots people were taking were kind of like telegrams in that they got sent over the wire to others — so we figured why not combine the two?”

Over the last year Instagram has accumulated over 30 million users.

Researchers estimate that Twitter will generate about $140 million in ad revenue this year and $260 million in 2012.

GET READY FOR A BRAND NEW TWITTER


SHOWTIME SAYS…

Sooooo..Twitter is changing their layout AGAIN! The video gives a step by step look at all of the “features” of New Twitter. If it hasn’t done so already, your entire home screen is about to change.

 

The social network is slowly rolling out a new look. Everything’s been shaken up and moved around, first and foremost the content of the main page, which has been moved to the right side for some reason. Supposedly everything is getting simpler and easier to use. “Less places to click, less things to learn,” Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey told the New York Times. Probably we’ll all just get incredibly angry as this rolls out, and Twitter will ignore us, and life will go on.

None of these changes are necessary in my opinion, they should have just left it like it was when I joined a few years ago. This is the type of stuff that drives people away. But I’m sure we’ll all just continue to tweet our lives away.
