Amazon.com’s new mobile app business is scheduled to launch today, but the fact that it’s not open doesn’t mean it hasn’t been attracting media attention. On Friday, Apple filed a lawsuit claiming that Amazon’s use of the “Appstore” name violates Apple’s “app store” trademark. Representatives from Amazon have not commented specifically on the lawsuit, but have been stressing the differences between their technology and Apple’s.
Although both build applications for promotional electronics, Apple focuses on the iPhone and iPad while Amazon provides apps for Android phones and tablets. Furthermore, using their vast e-commerce experience, Amazon’s Appstore will be able to recommend apps based on users’ past purchases. For example, if I bought a Chicago Bears jersey on Amazon, the platform may suggest that I purchase an app to provide me with NFL stats and scores.
As consumers await Amazon’s Appstore launch and the pending lawsuit, they are turning their attention to other news from the promotional electronics industry: the alleged AT & T Inc. and T-Mobile USA merger.

The Ides of March are upon us, which means impending doom (if it’s 44 B.C. and you’re Julius Caesar, anyway). Some people are still superstitious about March 15, though, and if you’re caught off guard when the date sneaks up on you, it can be extra harrowing. Thankfully, though, if you’ve got some promotional calendars in plain view at your home or office, you won’t be unprepared for such discomfort.
In addition to dates surrounded by superstition such as the Ides of March and Friday the 13th, promotional calendars can help keep you up-to-date (pun maybe intended) on things like, say, Friday – which, as the new viral music video from Rebecca Black tells us, comes after Thursday and before Saturday. Who knew?
Whether you’re a fan of the so-called sensation that is “Friday” or you actually appreciate music, you can’t disagree with the lyrics, especially when you refer to your promotional calendars: “Yesterday was Thursday/today is Friday./We’re so excited … . We gonna have a ball today./Tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes afterwards/I don’t want this weekend to end.”

Today March 8th, marks the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. On this day we recognize the incredible women through out history who have made an everlasting impact on the status of women. However, this day is also about continuing progress and identifying that there is still room to improve.
In this generation, women still make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes, and less than 3 percent of Fortune 500 CEO’s are women. These facts among many others indicate that our world still has the task of perfecting equality.
On this day, and going forth, women’s rights groups such as NOW can show support for the hopeful progress of women through promotional items such as message pens, custom apparel, and various promotional efforts. Through promotional items as well as the many other outlets available, the women of today can spread their message in hopes of building a better place for the women of tomorrow.

Last Thursday, a palace source confirmed to the press that invitations to the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton had been postmarked. A stiff white card measuring about 8 inches x 6 inches, with gold lettering and gilded edges is en route to arrive via snail mail to 1,900 of the world’s most elite, well-connected individuals. Attendees of the much-awaited royal wedding will include kings, charity leaders, close family and friends, and politicians the world over. A select few of the guests, 600 of the total 1,900 invitees, will also be invited by Queen Elizabeth to a reception following the ceremony in the Abbey. Even fewer guests, 300 of the 600 invited to the Queen’s event, will make the cut to attend a dinner hosted by Prince Charles that evening at Buckingham Palace.

Today, February 1, marks day eight of the protests in Egypt and demonstrators are more determined than ever to remove President Hosni Mubarak from his 30 year reign. The events in Egypt started on January 25, following a similar revolt in Tunisia that forced the country’s leader into exile. Like Tunisia, Egypt’s economy is suffering, with many young, educated citizens unable to find job opportunities and forced to work abroad. In addition to high unemployment rates and a growing population, Egyptians have been living under a “state of emergency” during Mubarak’s 30 year rule, which has severely limited personal rights and political freedom. Mubarak has not yet agreed to step down, but has named others to the government, including Omar Suleiman, who is known as the head of the secret police force. Naming Suleiman as vice president as not gone over well with the Egyptian public, many of whom still continue to gather in Tahrir Square. As United States citizens watch anxiously to see what will happen with Egypt, a U.S. Ally, many of those currently visiting or living in Egypt are packing their rolling bags and trying to return home. The United States sent nine charter flights to Cairo yesterday, and has so far evacuated an estimated 1200 citizens.

Fresh off the announcement of their new corporate logo (essentially dropping the name from the design so the brand can expand beyond its coffee roots) Starbucks has announced another new launch. The ‘Trenta’ cup size is set to debut in the US, rolling out in 14 states today, January 18, and expected to be available in all retail stores by May 3. With a 31-fluid ounce capacity, the Trenta promotional disposable cup provides 7 extra ounces of beverage consumption than Starbucks’ former largest size, the Venti – though currently it will only be available for iced coffee, iced tea and lemonade drinks.
