Droid X Arrives Today, World Cup Shatters Online Records

Droid X Debuts
Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....
  • There might not be a media circus surrounding overnight campers, limited supplies or celebrity line-cutters, but the promising $199 Droid X super phone is making its official Verizon debut today. [From: Engadget]
  • This summer, the World Cup cemented itself as the Earth's (and -- somewhat surprisingly -- the U.S.'s) most watched sporting event, particularly online. Numerous sites, including ESPN3, Univision, Akamai and Conviva, accumulated unprecedented statistics in terms of traffic and streaming. [From: Salon]
  • With tension mounting over a class-action lawsuit and censorship accusations, Apple is reportedly planning to publicly address the rapidly accumulating iPhone 4 issues at a 10 a.m. PST Friday press conference. [From: Engadget]
  • Besieged by recent outages and technical issues, Twitter is also apparently suffering from internal disorder. The source of the strife is reportedly COO Dick Costolo, who, with backing from various members of Twitter's board, has progressively usurped control of the company from CEO and site co-founder Evan Williams. [From: Gawker]
  • Oprah's O staffers will soon be able to digitally enjoy their handiwork from their brand new iPads, because O is getting its own app. Several other Hearst publications, including Esquire, Harper's Bazaar and Cosmopolitan, should all arrive on the device within the next year. [From: The Observer]
  • Apparently shifting their sights from pirates to pornos, a group of record labels, including Warner Bros., is suing both Reality Kings and RK Netmedia for illegally using copyrighted funky bass jams in "hundreds of extreme hardcore pornographic videos." [From: Ars Technica]
