Breaking Down the First 24 Hours of the Android Marketplace and the iPhone App Store

The folks at Medialets have put together a number-crunching comparison of the iPhone App Store and the Android Marketplace after the first 24 hours. There is nothing really Earth-shattering in the data, but it does provide some insight into the similarities between iPhone and G1 users. Basically, it illustrates that both parties are interested in the same sorts of apps, given the fact that the distributions are fairly similar. One could draw the conclusion that Android users are more into lifestyle and productivity-based functionality, but without detailed information comparing the number of these apps released by both platforms at launch, this assessment is probably a bit premature.

So said one of the cricketers from Brisbane who set a record for endurance, playing 50 hours of continuous cricket, back in March, after his team eclipsed the earlier best of 35 hours, set in England. Six months later - now, that is - the Blunham Cricket Club has pushed the mark to 59 hours and 35 minutes. Blunham were not exactly restoring English pride by beating the Aussies: the record they broke, 55 hours, had been set in Auckland.

FastMac iV Triples the Battery Life of the iPhone 3G

FastMac has unveiled their second generation iV battery pack for the iPhone 3G, and it promises to deliver up to 24 hours of talk time, 750 hours (31 days) of standby, 20+ hours of video and almost 72 hours of audio playback time. Depending on your settings, we are talking triple or even quadruple the available power here. It looks a little bulkier than Mophie's Juice Pack, but the extra battery life and added touches like a built-in LED flash/flashlight and a second USB port to charge additional gadgets definitely makes it the more attractive option on paper (a hands-on will be coming up shortly to put this to the test). Plus, it is priced less than the Juice Pack at $80.

Sitti can do without 'Wowowee'

Sitti, the “First Lady of Philippine Bossa Nova,” as director Calvin Neria put it, has retired from her hosting duties in Wowowee. This in lieu of her upcoming birthday concert at the Captain’s Bar, Mandarin Oriental, Manila, on Nov. 29. She said Wowowee was too strenuous for her, especially to her voice. The first day she was just talking, but two days after that, she was already shouting as loudly as Valerie Concepcion. She says she prefers hosting to acting. Hosting takes five hours at the most, but taping requires her to be on the set for a whopping 24 hours. She loves singing the most, since she is usally done after two hours. The three-part concert will trace Sitti’s lounge bar roots, walk through her bossa nova present, and look into her pop jazz future.
