Hulu+ updated with new iPad features, $7.99 subscription

Hulu+ has been updated for the iPad and iPhone to includes new features and better yet — a new, lower subscription price of $7.99.

New split-screen player on iPadEnhanced queue and subscription managementImproved playback performanceNew thumbnail behavior on iPadMiscellaneous bug fixes

Hulu launched on iOS back in late June followed by an immediate follow up of the Hulu+ subscription service at $9.99.

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the update supports Apple’s new iOS 4.2 AirPlay feature (yet?)

Let us know how the update is working for you and what you think of the new pricing — does it hit the sweet spot yet?

THQ launch Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner, available now!

Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner is now available in the app store for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4. A first person action game, it puts players in the well known “Millennium Falcon” gun turret where you advance through 20 levels of action. Relive some of the most exciting missions like the Death Star escape, asteroid field pursuit over Hoth and infamous Kessel Run.

SPECIAL MODIFICATIONS: As you blast your way through waves of TIE fighters, Star Destroyers, and a few other special surprises, you’ll earn credits that can be used to make special modifications to the Falcon’s offensive and defensive capabilities, including concussion missiles and a low-level tractor beam… perfect for grabbing TIE interceptors and launching them back at their black-helmeted buddies. For iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G users, an optional augmented reality mode lets players use a device’s camera to overlay enemy fighters on top of their natural surroundings and the device’s compass or gyroscope to enable 360-degree, full body motion control movement.

Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Runner is fully compatible with the Retina Display, Game Center and also includes Facebook integration too. The game is only recommended for use on  iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4; THQ state that older devices will experience memory issues. It is not currently available for the iPad, but will be come December (we do not know if the app will be updated to a universal binary or if there will be a specific version for the iPad at an additional cost).

Star Wars fans, go and grab it now, let us know what you think of it in the comments!

[$4.99 -  iTunes Link]

17 year old geek makes $130,000 selling White iPhone 4 conversion kits

A 17-year-old geek turned entrepreneur pocketed $130,000 in the past 6 months by selling white iPhone 4 conversion kits online, prompting a private investigator and possible legal woes. From The New York Observer:

The unbelievable demand among Apple enthusiasts for the long-delayed white version of the iPhone 4 has been compared to the hunt for that legendary white whale, Moby Dick. So when Fei Lam, a high school senior and gadget nerd, got a tip about buying up some white iPhone 4 parts, he saw the opportunity to finally make his passion for electronics pay off.

Fei Lam was able to order parts for the elusive white iPhone 4 from a contact in China who was closely connected to Foxconn (one of Apple’s manufacturers of the iPhone 4), and from that he was able to put together his own kit.

Lam’s success was driven by top media sites like TechCrunch and CNN reporting on what he was up to, and he believes a recent inquiry by a private investigator may have been prompted by all the attention from news media. Lam has since retained an attorney, and is planning on defending his new business which will help put him through college.

Since the latest rumors are that Apple is never going to ship a white iPhone 4, we’re curious if any of our readers would be interested in Lam’s conversion kit. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
