Well, the price of Zune Pass already was something that at least I would call like pretty good deal as who would deny for mere $15 per month by which one can have access to unlimited streaming and 10 DMP-free MP3 too. Lately, I was even shocked when I came to knew that Microsoft is probably considering of decreasing the subscription free even lower. Or so says Terry Ferrell, Senior Product Manager, who added “it is definitely a very challenging business.” Microsoft has not yet announced the new price so far but it is surprising to know that last April, RealNetwork also dropped the monthly fee of Rhapsody from $15 to $10.  However, it is easy to expect the new price to be pretty welcoming for the newcomers. All we can do for no is simply waiting!

Finally, it seems like those private beta rumors previously this month were legit, as we can see how Sling Media is currently showing off its all-new SlingPlayer Mobile incarnation on the HTC’s EVO 4G for Sprint. Well, the company claims that the app features the fastest load time compared to any other versions of SlingPlayer Mobile introduced to date.  It is pretty tough to forecast what other Android gadgets will be compatible with the application, but we can imagine the Sling saying, so stay tuned.

It is pretty intriguing to know that Walmart lately announced that the price of 16GB iPhone 3GS is just $97 from Tuesday, which is a huge $100 off the regular price. Well, the price cut, according to the WWDC 2010 Keynote given by Steve Jobs, seems to an attempt of clearing out remaining stock as he is likely to introduce the extremely awaited next generation iPhone. This obviously is a move that makes us to believe that 3G is not being shipped to stores anymore. Although the price has got a lot affordable it would be better for potential iPhone owners to wait for a few weeks to see what is next?

Now that Froya has finally gone official, HTC seems to be in quite hurried to reassure its customers that a majority of phones that will be launched in 2010 will indeed features Android 2.2.

However, don’t wait with your breath because according to sources, I came to knew that the software upgrade is likely to arrive in the mid of this year.

Oh gosh! Sounds unbelievable but the Onion seriously outdid itself with their nasty idea this time. As you can see in picture above, it is all that funny but sad to users though! Users according to them won’t remember a time when they didn’t listened to some sort of voice whispered in their ear.

Well, let’s face it! Kindle for Android is official now. However, you cannot download it now as it doesn’t seem to be ready for download this moment. Free Kindle ebook reader by Amazon – already launched for PC, Blackberry, iDevices, and Mac- won’t be available until the late this summer. Once the great day will come, the people using Android 1.6 and above will be able to browse, search and buy (without having to exit the app) whatever he/she wants from the half million books available in the Kindle Store. Unlike any other apps, Kindle features Whispersync that will help users to keep the bookmarks they want, read last page, keep notes, as well as highlighting synchronized across all your Kindle-enabled devices. Well, you can expect to have a glance to this at Google I/0 that is starting tomorrow.

The experts at XDA-Developers once again come up with an outstanding innovation this week: a leaked 100MB file which might be the firs ever Windows Phone 7 ROM intended for a device. Needless to say, it could probably reveal information about a phone that we barely knew existed – “HTC Mondrian”. At good, the contents are likely to reveal wonders that are beyond expectation, including bundled apps, full specs and even the equips required for properly shoehorning WP7 onto your current HTC handset.  At worst, the community would hardly ever bother opening the blasted file or discover it is all a clever hoax. Well, there is no indication at all, so all we can do is dreaming for now.
