They’ve been known to offer great deals in the past, especially devices being offered by Verizon. Just last week they undercut Verizon on launch day for the DROID Bionic and were selling it for just $179. I’m sure a few original DROID owners are finally up for an update and can conveniently sign a new 2-year agreement and get the Bionic, then get that $50 rebate making the price <span class="Apple-style-span" mce_name="em" mce_style="font-style: italic;" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5;">that</span> much better than from Verizon.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Exclusively from Amazon Wireless this $50 gift card deal will last from now until September 26th, you might wanna hurry before all the good stuff is gone because Amazon tends to sell out fast at times. I’d be getting the DROID Bionic if it were me. Feel free to check out our full review, then use that $50 gift card to snag some accessories like the HD Dock by Motorola.</div>

Today Verizon Wireless is launching a new back to school data plan for only $20 with 300mb of data connectivity when bundled with a new voice plan. The odd part is this is not widespread and only available starting in select Verizon regions, this may be a test run to start things off.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Starting tomorrow, the promotion will be available to subscribers in Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, and North Carolina from August 18th through September 30th. From the looks of things this applies to all available phones from the 4G enabled Android devices to even one of those i things some people opt to use instead.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
While the regions that do or don’t qualify seem a little odd a lower priced data plan to bridge the gap from more expensive plans is a welcome change. This would be a great plan for younger students or first time smartphone buyers that are just getting into an Android device. Many light users stay under 300mb a month but I’d make sure I followed my usage so I didn’t get any fee’s.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
For all current Android phones available on Verizon make sure to check out of device database at device.ac or to make things easier here is the Verizon Portal.</div>

Get your YouTube experience organized with VideoHunters

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" class="aligncenter" height="109" src="http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/8116/videohuntersicon.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 8px;" width="113" /></p><br/>VideoHunters is a very clever iPad app that allows you a good deal of control over how you use YouTube. Of course, YouTube has good search functionality, and at first glance, this app doesn't seem to add much, but VideoHunters goes far deeper and allows you to customize your search, as well as easily share videos with friends.<br/><br/>More compelling, VideoHunters adds a concept of themes to using YouTube. It comes with more than a hundred themes already installed, and you can modify them or create your own. Some example themes include searches, like science and technology, from today that are popular. There are themes for comedy, politics, autos, you name it. The list can be sorted by you, and themes you don't want can be deleted. You also get the usual standbys, like top rated and featured videos. Once a video is playing you can stream via AirPlay. You can save a video to favorites, or share it with friends. Themes can also be sent to other VideoHunters users.<br/><br/>I was easily able to create themes to find some classic old TV shows and some videos on places I plan to travel to this year. YouTube is full of great Photoshop tutorials, so I created a theme for those. Since the themes can be saved, when I started up VideoHunters again, everything was where I left it. The app also contains video tutorials to help you navigate the formidable feature set.<br/><br/>I found using the app mostly intuitive, but I had to watch the tutorials to figure out some of the functionality. Two of the app features, a place to save what's called 'My Videos' and 'My Favorites,' require that you establish a free account. I tested version 1.3, which experienced a few crashes. Yesterday the app was updated to 1.4 and, so far, has been quite stable.<br/><br/>If you are a YouTube zealot, this is one of the best ways I've seen to explore and customize your searches. The videos are crisp on the iPad, and the ability to use AirPlay is a plus. For many, this app will be well worth the US$0.99 price. Check the galleries for some screen shots, and as always, your comments are valued.<br/><div><br/><br/><strong>Gallery: VideoHunters screens</strong><br/><br/><img alt="" height="75" src="http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/7793/videohuntersscreen1thum.jpg" width="75" /><img alt="" src="http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2672/videohuntersscreen2thum.jpg" /><img alt="" src="http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/9643/videohuntersscreen3thum.jpg" /><img alt="" src="http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/7457/videohuntersscreen4thum.jpg" /><img alt="" src="http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/8456/videohuntersscreen5thum.jpg" /><br/><br/></div>
