With the recent release of AirPlay, Apple is working on locking down your Apple TV inhabited living rooms, and what better way to show off the technology than by offering users a freebie?

According to a report from 9 to 5 Mac, Apple is randomly sending out iTunes rental codes good for any one of the 8,000 plus movies available on the iTunes store. Of course this totally coincides with the fact that the Apple TV 2 operates on a rentals based model, so this may just be Apple wanting more users to give their service a trial run…

Apple’s iPhone 4 is without a doubt one of the most hyped electronics on the market with infamous tales of misplaced devices, theft and more adding to the fire. With such hype comes easy disappointment as just like every other product, the iPhone 4 is not perfect. Everyone remembers the death grip debacle that had Apple give out free cases to all owners and the infamously absent white iPhone 4.

While the death grip problem has effectively died down, consumers are still wondering when they will be able to get their hands on a white iPhone 4. Well, if you’re one of the few who is still waiting for the device, you will be happy to hear that 9to5mac has managed to secure a picture showing that the iPhone 4 will officially be coming in spring of 2011.

If the past is anything to go by, we wouldn’t be surprised if Apple will delay the white iPhone 4 again but it’s nice to see that it hasn’t fallen off the face of the earth just yet. We’ll update you if we hear anything further.

Thinking of grabbing Looxcie’s remarkable Bluetooth-based Borg-cam as a $200 stocking stuffer this year? Hold on a twirl, and make sure you’re paying for the one that actually plays nice with your mark’s favorite smartphone. You see, the company had to make a hardware modification this week to the original Looxcie to make it compatible with iOS devices, and while that’s complete now, you’ll want to buy the new Looxcie LX1 if your giftee owns an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Otherwise, you’ll be buying a device that’s Android-exclusive for the very same price. Got an Android phone to begin with? We expect the seething anger of Looxcie early adopters will soon afford you some deep discounts on the now-inferior original. PR after the break.

ScrollingBoard is a new Cydia tweak that let’s you have scrolling, unlimited icons in your dock and folders, and addons in your dock (like iPod controls). What makes ScrollingBoard so interesting is that not only does it bring a few new features to your jailbroken device, but it also replicates the functions of other popular jailbreak tweaks in the process.

ScrollingBoard’s main goal is to make your iOS device’s dock as useful as can be. The native arrangement of icons on your home screen’s pages is also available on your dock with ScrollingBoard. The addons and SBSettings integration that ScollingBoard brings to the dock also make this tweak especially worth the $1.50 price tag…

Are you one who has grown partial to manipulating a colony, watching it grow, or leading it into demise? Not in real life of course, but rather in a video game (sickos!). But anyways, one such game that features said gameplay is Pocket God for the iOS platform. Available for 99-cents, Pocket God has the player playing God working to a grow an island and its inhabitants.

However, while it’s been available for iOS for some time, it was announced today that Pocket God has made the jump to Android. Also available for 99-cents, the Android version of Pocket God features the exact same gameplay as the iOS version. Unfortunately, reports have surfaced that say the Android version of Pocket God is plagued with some errors.

Our friends over at Phandroid have apparently tested the game on two separate Galaxy S smartphones and have found that it frequently crashes. Luckily, now that the problems are in the mainstream media, a fix will most likely be pushed out soon enough.
