Strategic Sharing: Zipcar Leads $13.7M Investment In Campus Car-Sharing Startup Wheelz
February 22, 2012 – 8:25 am | No Comment

Well, you have to hand it to the strategy team over at Zipcar . Arguably the largest on-demand car-sharing network, Zipcar went public last year and not long after saw its market cap cross $1 billion . It’s since fallen back, and with collaborative consumption and the market for car-sharing heating up, the big players have to make moves. Zipcar has since forged a partnership with Ford, making it the largest provider of cars for Zipcar’s University program , and, in December, the company took a controlling stake in Spain’s largest car-sharing network, Avancar . Today finds Zipcar making another strategic move to get its mitts in fellow car-sharing companies, again with a focus on universities, whose students are among the most eager adopters of car-sharing models. What do I mean? The company today announced that it is a lead investor in the $13.7 million series A financing of Wheelz , a junior, university-focused version of itself. The Detroit-based Fontinalis…

AmpliTube for iPad available, Yngwie Malmsteen en route to Apple Store
July 22, 2010 – 3:11 pm | No Comment
AmpliTube for iPad available, Yngwie Malmsteen en route to Apple Store Just a quick note for all of you virtual amping enthusiasts: IK Multimedia has announced that the AmpliTube is now available for iPad. As you'd expect, it works with your iRig hardware and the UI seems benefit from the extra screen real estate (let's be honest -- twiddling all those knobs and stomp boxes on the iPod Touch was a little bit much for us to take). It comes in two flavors: free (three effects, one amp, one ...

TUAW’s Daily App: Pilgrim’s Punch Out Comic-Con starts in San Diego today, and I'm down here wandering the aisles, looking for geeky gear and cool games. Scott Pilgrim is already one of the stars of the show, with the excellent comic series having finished up, a new console game coming out soon, and of course the Michael Cera-enhanced movie in theaters in a few weeks. To celebrate, NBC Universal has released this free retro Punch-out game starring the characters from the ...

Hands Free Software has come up with a solution that not only reads your incoming mail to you, but allows you to reply to those emails through voice. Text'nDrive Pro for iPhone (US$19.99) ...

Apparently, there are 143 Kindle titles sold for every 100 hardcover books sold last Spring By the way the figure has increased in June since 180 eBooks to every 100 hardcover texts this month. With the price cut of the Kindle, who knows how this will play out. ...
Apple sold 8.4 million iPhones in Q3 2010, smashed through revenue records
July 20, 2010 – 3:55 pm | No Comment
Apple sold 8.4 million iPhones in Q3 2010, smashed through revenue records At Apple’s iPhone 4 press conference last week, they were kind enough to spill the beans on how many iPhone 4s had sold since launch: roughly 3 million . What they didn’t share, however, was how many total iPhones they’d sold lately — that number, said Apple COO Tim Cook would be coming in their upcoming financial reports. The report for fiscal quarter three (which runs from April 1st to June 26th) is here, and the grand total is.. ( drumroll ).. 8.4 million. By my quick ...

July 19, 2010 – 10:12 am | No Comment
Motorola Droid 2 For Verizon Wireless Gets Leaked, Shows Off Slide-Out QWERTY Keyboard, Runs Google Android Operating System Back in November of last year Motorola shipped the first DROID for Verizon Wireless. After a long period of downtime after their once popular RAZR handset’s populairty decreased dramatically, the DROID was seen as the company’s return to greatness – a possible comback for a company with quite a bit of talent up their sleeve. After proving itself successful thanks to Google’s Android operating system, slide-out QWERTY keyboard and slew of other features, Motorola went ...

RIM to Apple: Man up and leave us out of it
July 18, 2010 – 9:17 pm | No Comment
RIM to Apple: Man up and leave us out of it RIM has issued a statement regarding Apple’s explanation of the antenna issue from Friday , which of course used a Blackberry as well as other phones to demonstrate signal loss. I’ll let it speak for itself: Apple’s attempt to draw RIM into Apple’s self-made debacle is unacceptable. Apple’s claims about RIM products appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public’s understanding of an antenna design issue and to deflect attention from Apple’s difficult situation. RIM is a global leader in antenna design and has been successfully ...

Swype Input Interface Sneaks Into Windows 7 Demo [Swype] The Swype text entry interface that's been tearing up Android phones, World Records and maybe iPhones was spotted doing more of the same on a large touchscreen at the Microsoft Worldwide Partners Conference. Spoiler: It looks like Swype, but bigger: It is only a demo, and there's not even a wisp of an inkling that there's a partnership brewing between Microsoft and Swype Inc. (the chaps behind the ...
