Today's computers at almost all price points pack multi-core processing power. With all that added processing capabilities, your computing experience should be richer than ever.

Apple Copies Xbox Live/PSN for iPhone OS 4.0


Multiasking may have been the biggest announcement Apple made about iPhone 4.0 but the company also detailed something else called GameCenter. GameCenter is a social gaming platform for the iPhone that's a little similar to Xbox Live and PSN.
GameCenter contains a set of APIs that allows developers to create apps that incorporate certain social capabilities, like the ability to invite friends to play a game, start a multiplayer game through matchmaking and track achievements and compare high scores on a leader board.
There are thousands of iPhone gaming apps so we're betting a little network where people can get together and play against each other as well as keep track of each other's high scores is going to be scarily popular.

HTC Incredible Coming to Verizon on April 29

The HTC Incredible is rumored to be hitting Verizon in just a couple of week's time. Reports say we'll see the phone in Verizon stores on April 25 and in Best Buy branches on April 29.

Verizon isn't commenting on rumors but there's a good chance this is solid information. Who's interested? yesterday reported that the HTC Incredible was basically a CDMA Desire with an 8-megapixel camera. Incorporating the Sense UI and Android 2.1, the device packs a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display and a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU.
Rumor has it the device is launching on Sunday, April 25. This fits in well with Verizon's tradition of launching devices on a Sunday. However, a leaked document over on Android and Me shows an April 29 release in conjunction with Best Buy
