I just read the headline “Tech Stocks slip as Palm and RIM decline” and am wondering what SmartMoney (innovators of the famous “Map of the Market”) wants to imply!?

As if “loser brands” such as Palm and RIM would have anything to do with a decline of other tech stocks. For me this looks like a case of fewer people wanting to buy an outdated, unsexy device and turn to Apple with the iPhone, HTC or the Motorola Droid than the industry having a problem in general.

Just two weeks ago Pizza Hut launched an iPhone application (iTunes link) that has already been downloaded over 100,000 times the company informed TechCrunch.

The company dubbed the software as “killer app for your appetite” and it surely is a good example for a company producing a mobile phone application. Aside from the ability to order food, users are also able to collect coupons or play “Pizza Hut Racer” while waiting for their food to arrive. Check out the video showing a bit of the functionality.

Great stuff! I’m hungry now!
