Comment on Verizon CEO Says Next iPhone Will Be a “Global Device” by HD Boy

Verizon’s statement does not contain the words "next iPhone." Rather, it says, "...when a new device from Aple is launched, whenever that may be..."

In The Cards: Why Amazon *Has* To Make An Android Device Now

When I first heard that Amazon was going to be making an app store for Android (we broke the news in September of last year), I laughed. Just what Android needs, another app store, I thought. Further, I didn't see what Amazon could bring to the table with such a store that Google themselves couldn't. That was stupid. I was wrong. Now that Amazon's Android Appstore is out there in the wild, and I've had a chance to play with it, I see the brilliance of the maneuver. In many ways, Amazon just came out of nowhere and beat Google at their own game — on their own devices. At the same time, some of the processes involved in Amazon's Appstore are laughable. And they point to a very obvious fact: Amazon needs to build their own Android devices. Pronto.

Free Square Device

If you’ve not heard of Square, it’s a device that allows anyone with a phone to accept a credit card payment. You plug it into your phone, start the app, put in the amount, and run the card. You can even have the person sign their name on your touchscreen. At the Chevy Tweet House, they were giving a ton of them away. I grabbed 5 for readers of this blog. The first 5 people to comment on this post will get the free Square devices.

In Two Years, Most Of You Will Be Reading TechCrunch From An Apple Device

In February of 2007, 83.24 percent of users visiting TechCrunch did so from a Windows machine. One year later, in February 2008, the stranglehold remained firm at 80.44 percent. In February 2009, the number was at 74.04 percent. Last year, it was 61.59 percent. And this year? The number of people visiting our site from Windows machines dipped to 53.84 percent. The writing is on the wall. Look at those numbers again for a second. In four years, Windows share among TechCrunch readers has fallen 30 percentage points. That's incredible.
