FTC Notice

Pursuant to 16 CFR Part 255, the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, please note: (1) iPhone software and hardware developers routinely send me free versions of their products to review. I sometimes keep and continue to use these products that I did not pay for after posting my review, which might be considered a form of compensation for my review, but I do not believe that I let that color my review. (2) When I post links to product pages on certain stores, including but not limited to Amazon and the iTunes App Store, my links include a referral code so that when products are purchased after clicking on the link, I often receive a very small percentage of the sale. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Again, I do not believe that I let that color my review of products. (3) Some of the ads that run on this website are selected by others such as Amazon or Google. If one of these ads comes from the seller of a product reviewed on iPhone J.D., that is a coincidence and I do not believe that it colors my review of that product. Other ads are from paid advertisers, and if I discuss a product from a company that is a current advertiser, I will note that. (4) Some of the ads that run on this website are from monthly sponsors of iPhone J.D. When I discuss products from these companies on iPhone J.D., I do so to pass along information provided to me by the sponsor. Often, I will also provide my own commentary on the product, and while my goal is to be honest, please keep in mind that I was compensated to promote the product. If you have any questions about this, just send me an e-mail or post a comment on a specific product review.

Are you a Sam's Club member? If so, Vlad Savov of Engadget reports that you can get an iPhone 4 for $147, the lowest price I've ever seen for it. You can also get an iPhone 3GS for $47.

According to a report by Mark Gurman of 9 to 5 Mac, if you buy an iPad from Best Buy, you get a free MiFi, one of those small devices that uses an AT&T, Sprint or Verizon 3G signal to create a Wi-Fi network for up to five devices, including of course your new iPad. By comparison, if you buy an iPad from a Verizon store, the MiFi costs $130.

By the way, Apple just released a cute Christmas-themed iPhone ad called "Under the Covers." Here it is:
