After months and months lurking around the rumormill under a plethora of names, Verizon has made the HTC Thunderbolt official at CES 2011.
Join us after the jump for the specs.
Here’s what we know so far, officially:
What do you think? Not quite on par with the supposed leaked specs that trickled out a few days ago, but it’s still pretty dang slick.
Surprise! We knew the HTC EVO 4G would be gettin’ a brand new twin on another carrier — we just thought Verizon’s Thunderbolt would be the first out the door. AT&T just went ahead and jumped the gun a bit, using their pre-CES 2011 Developer Summit to announce a 4.3″, HTC-made monster of their very own: the Inspire 4G.
Here’s what we know so far:
We've been wondering for the past day or so what the distinguishing features of the Verizon iPhone might be. Will it come in colors? Aside from VZW's respectable network and CDMA technology, how will the iPhone experience on Big Red be different?
If the Wall Street Journal is right, there'll be a big difference in the service plans: unlimited data. The paper cites a source familiar with Verizon's plans saying that an unlimited data option will be available. By comparison, AT&T moved to a capped tier this summer, which angered some users who preferred the unlimited option.

Amazon has entered into app store market by launching its own App store. This morning Amazon AppStore Developer program . Yes it will be android apps only . But this gives another platform for developers to create and sell their app.
amazon-android-App-Store
This is close to on heels of Launching Kindle development Kit , which was in limited beta.
They are waiving $99 program fees for the first year which is a very welcome move.
What is the criteria for approving apps ?
Nothing has been said in this regard but my guess is that they will stay away from pornographic and controversial apps. Of course they would not block apps like google voice !!
This could be more beneficial to developers because
1. Amazon’s brand name and recognition
2.Millions of new and registered users who daily visit amazon
Amazon can help market the web apps through the related items. for eg if you are purchasing an ebook or hardbound on Java certification , amazon could show related apps below in “Frequently Bought Together” or “Sponsored Links”
app add on amazon
This is my thought and could very well happen as they have started selling 3rd party items and advertisers can market on Amazon.
I am not sure if in future , would kindle start integrating apps although for now it is strictly an ebook reader. Wild Imagination ..yes but who would have though few years back that eBook and Tablet would become such a rage.
I see content and application converging sometime in future.
