The announcement of the pricing for the new Apple iPhone really caused a ruckus. At 199.000 the entry point was finally affordable to most people , but now the pricing plan from AT&T seems to get you back and if you are an existing user , you really get a nailed . For the actual usage charges, all iPhone monthly service plans are available for individuals and families and are based on a new two-year service agreement with AT&T. Individual plans are priced at $59.99 for 450 minutes, $79.99 for 900 minutes and $99.99 for 1,350 minutes.. Still they wont have any trouble selling these phones.

Got an extra 2.1 million laying around. Well for that price you get to have lunch with Warren Buffet . That is what a chinese investor paid for the privilege to break bread with Buffet . Zhao Danyang of the Hong Kong-based Pureheart China Growth Investment Fund won the auction, which ended Friday evening with a bid of $2,110,100. Thats one expensive lunch. It also set a reord for the larget charity auction on eBay.  Zhao and up to seven friends will dine with Buffett at the Smith & Wollensky steakhouse in New York City whenever the two men can schedule it. A spokeswoman for the Glide Foundation, which receives all the proceeds from the auction, identified the winner Saturday. Buffet ia well known for his philanthropy bent. In 2006, he announced his plan to give away the bulk of his nearly $49 billion fortune over time. Mr Buffet of you are looking for a good cause , I know a full time internet marketer you need to meet.

The 2008 Corvette convertible is a sports car Made in America Chevrolet has made a lot of changes to make the 2008 Corvette more competitive against its European counterparts. Although it is not as mouth-watering as the new Z06 (505hp) or the soon -to-be-available ZR1 (600 hp), will be. If you are wondering why a story about a car on a tech blog. It is because I once owned a brand new Corvette , no it want a 2008 Corvette, but the technology Chevrolet uses on these cars is always way ahead of it time . Almost certainly options you see on the 2008 Corvette will show up on other cards a few years form now. I think it still the best looking car out there . The 2008 Corvette or the 19991 Corvette I owned

The flip camera is the new kid on the block . Digital Camera technology has now brought us teh flip camera. The flip camera is the cousin of the point and shoot camera but for video. Anyone can operate this flip camera. The flip camera fits nicely in anyone’s pocket and no conversion is necessary to get your video to the computer. Flip is a brand name, and other companies are producing similar cameras under a variety of names.  Our  guess is that Flip will continue to dominate the market and the word FLIP will become synonymous with this format of camera, tiny convenient and gets an amazingly good picture.

Digital cameras like the Kodak C813 8.2 Megapixel Digital Camera are becoming quite popular. The price point for these cameras is becoming very attractive to the average consumer. You’ll find many of today’s most popular camera features in the Kodak C813 8.2 Megapixel Digital Camera. It boasts high resolution, a 3x optical zoom lens, digital image stabilization and a bright 2.4″ LCD screen. You can record TV-quality VGA video (640 x 480 at 15 fps) featuring audio, on-camera editing and prints from video.

The Kodak C813 8.2 Megapixel Digital Camera is a great camera for the price.

One of the benefits to evolving technology and service is competition. Products debuts are great but you always end up paying for the technology first and it takes time for the price to get in line. Cellular phone service is no different . I can remember paying 300.00 a month for cellular service and carried around a 4 lb cell phone. The competition for cell service is fierce and companies realize consumers will change their providers for a few extra dollars a month. Today, Virgin Mobile USA made a move Tuesday to undercut other mobile providers offering unlimited rate plans. Mobile providers like T-Mobile and Sprint are currently offering customers an unlimited rate plan, with about $100 being the price customers can expect. Virgin Mobile USA cuts the price by $20 — except for customers who also want unlimited text and messaging, with texting, IM, email and picture messages, who will have to pony up another $10

This is similar to what discount airlines do. Make the base price so cheap , you cant say no and then nickel and dime you for extras, but it is an effective marketing strategy , so don’t look for it to go away  .

 For thos patrons who uses Adwords , Google has introduced Ad Planner albeit on a limited basis. Ad Planner is a research and media planning tool that connects advertisers and publishers.

“Enter demographics and sites associated with your target audience, and the tool will return information about sites (both on and off the Google content network) that your audience is likely to visit,” the company said on its AdWords blog.

Right now, Google’s tool is available by invitation only, however, Google Ad Planner promise’s to be more subject specifid then the present public Google Hot Trends.

Far be it from me to mix politics with Tech News but this kind of took me by surprise. Republican John McCain said on Monday if elected he would propose awarding a $300 million prize to the auto company that develops a next-generation car battery that weans America off oil. Two things wrong here that I see. One that a bunch of money to award anyone , yet along private enterprise  And two, that battery is probably already been developed. Call it the cynic in me , but technology is released in bits and pieces and only when profitable Corporations lust fo rthe bottom line is always the priority. It is no different here. It is and always will be about the money. Show me the money. Cant you see the auto companies telling him , I thnk we can do it for 500 Million!
