I’ve had iOS 4 installed on my now-obsolete iPhone 3G S since the day it was released. I’m glad that Apple and not AT&T sends out software updates for its phones, unlike many Android-based phones whose carriers decide when and which software upgrades are issued (most trailing by several months after Google updates Android). But [...]
Steve Jobs’ attack on Adobe Flash was childish. And have you noticed during iPad and iPhone presentations that Jobs conveniently includes sites with Flash components conspicuously missing? I remember the NY Times site in Mobile Safari with missing Flash elements on the right column. The Apple CEO’s mission is subtle and insidious. He has decided [...]
Gizmodo’s story about the found iPhone 4G/HD is creating a lot of buzz on the Web … and at Apple. While it might be a fun idea that someone got the upper hand on Apple, there might be some consequences that sting after the euphoria fades. The most wince-inducing fact is that Gizmodo named the [...]
There’s an odd story going around of a prototype iPhone 4G (perhaps being renamed to iPhone HD??) being found in a San Jose pub/eatery. Or maybe it’s Redwood City. Odd or not, the photos and information are compelling. However, they finders could not actually boot the phone. They claim Apple remotely killed the phone, so [...]
Apple apparently has invited the press to an event scheduled April 8. The guess is Apple will provide details for the upcoming iPhone OS 4 update and the new hardware (an iPhone with more features). Both are expected later in the summer. Probably July/August 2010. 0 | Like This Post
Tim Bray posted to his blog an article about accepting work from Google. In it, he makes a painfully truthful remark about Apple Computer. I had first heard about this on CNET’s Buzz Out Loud podcast, so I looked it up. Tim Bray is a co-author of Extensible Markup Language (XML), and he’s respected in [...]
There’s a report of a rumor about Apple adding multitasking support to its iPhone. Apparently, new iPhone hardware will be introduced in Summer 2010 with updated iPhone OS 4.0, and the update would be available for at least existing 3G S phones. This answers critics of iPhone which currently does not offer multitasking like Google’s [...]
This is a solution for smartphone screen protectors that are incorporated into a protective case. For me, this is the OtterBox Defender Case for iPhone 3G S. I use this top-notch case because it really protects the device from drops and from exposure to water (but it’s not waterproof!). The case includes a screen protector. [...]
Everyone is wondering about it, and some folks are frothing at the mouth about it. The rumored Apple tablet overshadowed real products at CES 2010. It’s been the hot topic on blogs and fan sites. It spilled over into the tech press. And it’s even hitting mainstream news outlets who swear they have the inside [...]
