Square is fixing "a credit processing and risk issue" before shipping
“We need to strengthen our underwriting infrastructure so that we can handle the huge demand for readers and still manage the risk of chargebacks and fraud” — Jack Dorsey, Square CEO
Well, this doesn’t look great. Square is apparently holding off shipments of their little card reader because of a hardware shortage (which has since been resolved) but they are still having an issue with “chargebacks and fraud”, which doesn’t sound good - Read more

All Palm Apps 50% off until July 9th
Happen to be on the up-and-up with one of Palm’s webOS devices? If so, you’re going to love this deal — as of today (June 18th) all apps in Palm’s App Catalogue are half price. Oh, and don’t fret if you’re a developer, because Palm’s planning on subsidizing the difference — in other words, you’re going to be getting a sweet little cheque from the gremlins in accounting. So, what are you waiting for? The deals only good until July 9th.

Angry Birds coming to an Android device near you
Angry Birds coming to an Android device near you
Is the lack of a certain bird flinging iPhone only game getting you down? If that’s the case (and by some off chance you’ve got an Android device) we’ve got some good news for you. Our friends over at Smartphone Area recently stumbled upon a clip with none other than that ever so popular Angry Birds game running on a Motorola Droid.
Now there’s no confirmed release date, but according to the rather melodramatic text at the end of the video it’s “coming soon.” In the meantime you can join the Angry Birds for Android mailing list by clicking that ever so perky green link. – Learn More

iPhone 4 pre-orders currently shipping
Despite the whole iPhone 4 pre-order fiasco, it looks as though those lucky Apple-ites — who haven’t had their pre-order cancelled by a higher power — are currently in the process of receiving shipment notifications. Whilst not all of us have received a shipping notification, we’ll take it on good word from the guys at BGR, Engadget, and Gizmodo that some iPhone 4s are en route for their June 23-24 delivery date. Let us know in comments if you’ve received a notification, ‘mmk?

Kristen Perez playing Dance Central at E3 2010
When I was about to watch the video, I was expecting a hilarious train-wreck full of laughs among friends, but when I clicked play, what I saw was some insanely sick moves by Kristen, who just hopped up on stage and started dancing.
I mean, if Dance Central and Kinect are this good at teaching you to dance, then sign me up! - Read more

Verizon may also be killing Unlimited Data
As you may have heard, AT&T is dropping support for unlimited data plans - and Verizon isn’t planning to sit back and watch. A variety of Verizon smartphone customers generally use between 600 to 800 megabytes a month, according to the company’s CFO John Killian. What’s interesting is Verizon is predicting the use of smartphones to rise by almost 450%, and with that rise comes “explosions in data traffic” according to Killian.
