Apple just put out a press release saying that the App Store for the iPhone and the iPod touch now has more than 100,000 apps from third party developers.

Google Friend Connect has received new customization features and tools designed to help visitors to websites find out what they have in common. When users sign up for a new website through Friend Connect, they're asked questions chosen by the webmaster about their interests, and their responses are displayed on their public profiles as instant icebreakers.

Verizon is changing its early termination fee policy; on some "advanced devices" (presumably expensive smartphones) the contract termination fee will bump up to $350 to further discourage customers from dropping out for new services or phones.
