iPhone Cruncher

About three weeks after Spotify released a native iPad app for users on its premium plan, Sony is out with an iOS app for its own competitor: Music Unlimited.

Sony’s Music Unlimited is a subscription service like Spotify or Rdio that gives you endless access to its streaming library of over 15 million songs if you subscribe for a monthly fee. The app is a free download from the App Store and it comes with a 30-day free trial of the Music Unlimited premium plan. After the trial is up, you can choose to continue listening on the basic plan for $3.99 per month or the premium for $9.99 per month. One notable feature of the basic plan is it allows for playback on mobile devices, while comparable $4.99 plans from Spotify and Rdio do not.

Standard features included with the basic plan are unlimited music streaming, an ad-free listening experience for most of the genres, no skip limits, the ability to listen to content already in your locally stored library via matching and access to Sony’s music recommendation engine to discover new songs. For an extra $6 per month, premium subscribers get all of that plus individual song playback on demand, the ability manage playlists from the Music Unlimited web app, access to top charts in each genre, and a few other nifty advantages.

Sony Music Unlimited is available for iPhone and iPod touch. I’m sure an iPad app will arrive eventually unless Sony’s Tablet S miraculously ends up being a runaway success. The app is currently in select countries around the world and is expected to land in the U.S. App Store shortly.

Layton, UT, May 18, 2012 –(PR.com)– iQue Repair, LLC, www.iquerepair.com, announced the opening of its third store in Layton, Utah. This third store represents another major step in establishing a chain of Apple mobile device repair stores and for servicing the revolutionary iSmart Protection Plan for iPhone, iPad and iPod repair, www.ismartwarranty.com.

When iQue Repair owner, K.C. Kelly was asked about their decision to open another store only four months after opening in Provo, he responded, “We are following a strategic plan that responds to our customer needs. We have been servicing mobile devices from Layton and surrounding cities for quite some time now. It only made sense to answer the demand by bringing our services to them. So once again, here we are, and we’re excited to be here.”

“Davis County is one of the densest population centers in Utah and we hope to have great success in this area as the only specialist in iPhone, iPad and iPod repairs.” Kelly continued, “This new store also includes an Internet Café with free WiFi for customers who want to wait for their repairs but they still need to stay connected for one reason or another. We accomplish many of our repairs while you wait, but if you can leave it in the morning, in most cases we’ll have it ready for you before closing.”

Morgan McKell, Co-Owner of iQue also commented, “Our technicians have repaired thousands of Apple mobile devices. All of the repairs are very delicate, and if you don’t have a lot of experience repairing the iPhone, iPad and iPod, you risk damaging them further.” He continued, “We have already repaired a number of The New iPads many refer to as the iPad 3. In fact, we have found that most repair shops have not repaired any iPad 3’ due to their supply chain, lack of experience, expense or risk. We make it affordable for our customers and affordably warranty it without proof of purchase.”

McKell added, “We have already had success with the local community’s response to iQue

Whole Planet Foundation and BlueAvocado have teamed-up to launch a “Make Change. Not Waste.” iPhone app that rewards Whole Foods Market shoppers with coupons for green lifestyle actions, while at the same time raising awareness and funds for poverty alleviation.

Shoppers get to earn badges and coupons from a catalog of 45 green lifestyle behaviors including recycling, using a reusable bag and biking to work. After completing 10 green actions, you get one coupon from leading green brands like Nature’s Path, Alexia Foods, Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps, Stonyfield, Frontier Co-op and Organic Valley. Moreover, there’s an option to donate a percentage of the coupon value back to Whole Planet Foundation, which will use the proceeding to fund microlending projects in impoverished communities where Whole Foods Market sources products.

Sounds like an easy way to “go green” if you ask me. Heck, I see no risk in trying it out. Hit the link below to join this green party.
