Interface is nice (although when you look at a title and go back to the list it jumps back to the beginning). Also there is no way to bookmark or create a wish list. The interface looks great, very smooth.

BUT

Everything is 720p...very disappointing to have a new HD video app limited to 720p. After the dazzling high quality of Vudu's 1080p HDX, it's hard to put Amazon in the same league. Very disappointing.

Almost Paradise.

I missed the first deadline. Today I worked and after the 4th this was the first chance I had to check joystiq..and missed it again! How did Sony notify people..on Twitter? Seriously...could they provide an email or more than a few hours extension...very bad marketing...

@franklinmcmahon Even Engadget says "before the clock strikes midnight on July 3rd"

Guess they got confused too...

I am a little busy, so I had the date on my calendar. I assumed today was the last day. It should have said "ends July 2nd at midnight"...I wrongly assumed "through July 3rd" meant just that. If ties are on sale "through July 3rd" you don't show up on the 3rd to hear the sale ended yesterday. I know they did a reminder post on July 1st where they clarified, but I did not see it. So yes I lost out...although they should extend a week because there will be a lot of hard feelings out there...

Fantastical and Today both cannot edit events, I don't know why this huge omission is not centered on more when I read reviews of both. You have to launch iCal to edit which defeats the whole point of either app.

I agree...looks like a very promising program! But that toolbar...I don't know..I wish it were more standard looking...

The Daily is fantastic and when I see people say "hmmm...$39 for year...I don't know..." I am thinking..really? This is a daily, interactive, text, video, multimedia experience with top notch journalism and reporting..I just see it as a real bargain. It is NOT for everyone. If you are a geek mainly are looking for tech news, then the appeal will be minimal, but if you want to learn more about the world and get a real exploration of current news and issues, it's very educational and entertaining. It has been especially great lately..it is really hitting it's stride with features and reporting. Plus it's good to support this kind of publication, would like to see more. Where else can you get a packed DAILY media experience that costs half a million dollars to produce weekly, for like 75 cents a week?

How about "SSX 2012"?

Amped did have a real SSX feel..very cool game.

I do hope SSX does get back to its roots. I am tired of drab brown/grey colors and modern warfare dire-ness. Lets make it pop and bring on the day-glo!

And please include the N.E.R.D "Rockstar" remix. Just for old times sake. Or maybe, just for me.

I received the email from Time Warner and it was pretty refreshing to see how sternly it was worded from a corporate entity. They did not hold back.

Although it was a bit ironic pointing a finger and saying networks were "solely focused on finding additional ways to reach into wallets" since after I pay my huge digital cable/DVR/digital phone/road runner Time Warner bill, there is little left in my actual wallet to reach for.

Still, I do find the app amazing and such a great perk, I hope they do expand to many channels...it's very cool to have a portable wi-fi streaming HD TV on the iPad for sure.
