Techcrunch: Facebook Connect Launch Scheduled For November 30

Posted by on under development efforts, facebook, new features, launch, bugs, email addresses |

An update to our recent post on Facebook Connect: Facebook is pushing partners hard to be prepared for an official November 30 launch. 24 of 26 announced launch partners have yet to integrate Facebook Connect. We've spoken with a number of them. All say they are still planning to integrate the product eventually, but complain of bugs and other issues and wasted development efforts to date. Some, afraid of policy changes that will make Facebook Connect less interesting, also say they're waiting to see the final product before launching. A number of new features are being added. One, called FriendLink, allows a site using Facebook Connect to pass email addresses to Facebook and get friend recommendations back. This allows sites to make connections between users that they may not know about yet (but that Facebook already knows about). It's a key feature that is attracting a number of partners, we've heard.

Engadget: Apple, Walmart to do $99 4GB iPhone?

Posted by on under boy genius report, 4gb iphone, iphe, grain of truth, walmart, mac rumors, iphone, launch, phe, chariot, ales, training materials, ey, 3g, madness, shopping cart, nbsp, accuracy, apple |


Look, we know you've been holding out for the iPhone to hit Walmart before you pick it up, sandwiched between the fishing gear and row upon row of exercise videos -- and we don't blame you. You'll ride your shopping cart down the wide aisles like a chariot, and when you get home with the phone you'll dial up all your friends and let them know how much cheaper your iPhone was than theirs. What was that? Yeah, the new word on the street is that Walmart is getting a 4GB iPhone 3G for a mere $99, according to Boy Genius Report, and while BGR was previously reporting a November 15th launch date at Walmart, and can't vouch for the accuracy of this new report, Walmart training materials (pictured above) have been seen in the wild, so there's a grain of truth to this madness somewhere. Plus, a $99 iPhone just sounds so Walmart-ey, doesn't it?
