By The Beard of Zeus!

Wow folks it's been a while since my last post and I sincerely apologize. I have been consumed by this demon test to get into law school on top of all my work for regular school but I have a break between classes right now and thought I'd grace you all with my presence...er...words? Whatever.

There's been plenty of stuff happening since my last post (yes, the world does continue even if my blog isn't updated. I was shocked to learn this as well) AND the holidays are approaching, which means that there will be plenty more goodies coming up!

Alright, here's a breakdown of today's update:
-Verizon LTE!
-Apple iOS 4.2 (and 4.1 for AppleTV)
-Netflix's new streaming-only option
-And maybe some more stuff if there's time...hah.

Okay, this one has me really excited. Verizon is going to launch it's brand new LTE (Long Term Evolution) / 4G network a couple months early! Originally, the release date was slated for a "first half of 2011" launch but by some good grace of the techno-gods they are pumping it out next month! Here's a link to Verizon's 4G website for more information. Initially the network will be for their mobile web attachments for your laptop but they hope to see it extended to their wireless devices around summer 2011. Worst part? I don't have an LTE/4G phone =( BUT we do get to see a variety of brand new phones available from Verizon that will be compatible with the current network as well as the new LTE / 4G network soon. I'll be sure to update with any more news about the network and brand spankin' new phones that will be hitting the shelves soon! Until then, enjoy Verizon's snazzy new commercial for their new network which really only reveals the date. But still...pretty cool



More after the break including Apple's new iOS 4.2 and NetFlix's streaming-only option!
