AT&T has enjoyed overwhelming success with the exclusive Apple iPhone sales rights but the rumor mill is on the grind that the exclusive privileges to AT&T will end in a couple of days at the Apple Special Event. We know that the world is more focused and keen about the arrival of the Apple Tablet and the iPhone 4.0 OS details but, the news of the exclusive deal getting over holds equal importance for us.

There is no certainty about the new carrier to share the device sales but the most probable one is Verizon given its customer base and the network strength.

If you’ve missed the great Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals this year, and you wanted to get an HDTV, don’t be so quick to be sorry – you’ve still got a chance to buy one very cheaply, thanks to Woot’s current deals. The model is a 26″ HDTV set with 720p support, it has a built-in DVD player as well, displays in a 1366×768 resolution, supports the ATSC/NTSC/QAM formats, and it also comes with two HDMI inputs.

With all the buzz around Black Friday, the folks from Woot have decided to print some of those crazy deals and have announced that the Kodak Zi6 pocket video camera is now selling just shy of $70. Available in black, red and pink, the device features a 2.4 inch LCD screen, shoots HD video (720p) at 60 fps with 16:9 aspect ratio and comes with an SD/SDHC card slot for up to 32 GB of storage space.

The Kodak Zi6 allows for three video modes, HD at 60 fps, HD at 30 fps, or VGA. It comes with a built-in USB slot and software that makes YouTube uploading not only easy, but also quickly, and has the needed cables to connect directly to your HDTV to display your HD content. For that money, there are Ni-MH rechargeable batteries and a battery charger included, along with a tripod mount for those with shaky hands. Check out the full specs after the jump.

Companies have been closely guarding their special deals for Black Friday, while shoppers are waiting anxiously to get information on deals that might come their way on the big day. It appears that Apple’s Black Friday deal has leaked, and from what the leak says, the company is going to offer a sweet deal on the day.

A couple of days back, it appeared that the Apple Tablet arrival is just around the corner and the Tablet even has a name - Slate. Sadly, Apple’s senior vice president, Phil Shiller has confirmed that the Tablet is not arriving this year.

Putting the Apple arrival rumors to rest for a while, the fact is that the Tablet has been confirmed in Australia as the Australian media companies spoke to Apple about the Tablet.

Microsoft today announced separate deals with both Facebook and Twitter in a what could be one the first big things for their Bing search engine. With the deal, Bing will get a real-time data-update feeds from both Facebook’s and Twitter’s networks. Microsoft is all set to announce the deal in a few hours at a Web 2.0 summit.

The Twitter-Bing deal was earlier reported about but the Facebook deal comes as a big surprise. Facebook has the largest pool of updates with its 300m + audience and more than 40m updates daily. Both of the social networking companies were reported to have been pursuing similar negotiations with Google. For the first time, Bing will have something to offer, which Google doesn’t.

It is evident that no one can stop the surge of Amazon in the world of electronic commerce and the stakes for the giant just got stronger as it conquered the biggest online shoes and apparel store, Zappos.com. The deal isn’t really denting for Zappos either, as the company gets to keep its employees in place and all that practically happens is a swapping of shares.
