Disney.com, part of the Disney Interactive Media Group, said it will offer users of the popular Apple Inc devices items like the new “Click2Life” feature that lets fans take pictures of images from the Disney.com Web site, and eventually in the physical world, and unlock exclusive content.

For those of you who still didn’t know, the recent 8.5.1 release of Lotus Domino came with an additional piece of software called Traveler. This allows Apple’s iPhone to finally sync with Lotus Notes.

You could use IMAP to get your mail, but there was no real-time two-way solution like you could get on a Blackberry

(I’m aware of the differences between the Moto Droid and N900 – but based on the iDon’t video, Verizon’s ad could be talking about either) The original As much as comparisons will be made highlighting the improved hardware advantages of phone X over the iPhone, none of it will ever actually matter until someone makes a phone that’s much more usable/user friendly than the iPhone itself.

Team Alpha is a shoot-em-up, action game where, according to Sad Cat Software, your task “is to eradicate all mutants in a government lab where a secret biological experiment has gone awry.” The app offers nearly 200 rooms of mutant-shooting mania with big guns. Good times. You’ll get a top-down view as you navigate from room to room. The graphics are crisp, with your typical monsters and mutants color scheme. Runnin’ and gunnin’ isn’t usually my thing, so I was concerned that I would have a tough time testing Team Alpha.

Only two of them — Police Scanner by Juicy Development LLC and Emergency Radio by EdgeRift, Inc — are seasoned veterans with experience and multiple updates under their belt. Both apps do a very good job of providing live streaming transmissions to your iDevice, but there are subtle differences between them
