Just about everyone seems to have either an iPhone or iPod touch these days and the companion App Store is chock full of over 5,000 great gift ideas. From powerful databases to file storage to music, this list has something for you. Can’t decide?
Apple’s joining in on the Black Friday fun by offering discounts online and at its retail stores. New Aluminum Macboks are being offered for $101 below retail price. The white Macbook is being offered for $948, a $51 discount.
It’s nice of Apple to offer something for Black Friday, but these discounts aren’t too impressive as far as Black Friday goes.
Apple has had one of its 3G iPhone adverts banned for misleading consumers. The offending ad showed the newer 3G iPhone next to the older iPhone handset, which uses a 2G EDGE connection.
Sad day! It’s official, Apple has added a new form of copy protection to it’s MacBooks. That means no fun TV nights for most everyone. Sorry gang. Looks like Apple users and copyright advocates are getting up and saying something, more news as that all unfolds.
It seems this whole XO laptop craze isn’t ending anytime soon. Oh, that’s not a bad thing, wither.
The iPhone might be the greatest mobile platform, but if you don’t realise its potential, then the Multi-Touch screen begins to get old. And unlike most of us geeks, ‘regular’ users find it hard to grasp basic concepts like the App Store and syncing with a Mac.
The patch, available solely through the Apple TV's built-in update feature, is said in Apple's release notes to let users now stream music from the media hub to speakers connected to an Airport Express or to other Apple TVs in the home, letting it serve as a form of repeater.
Owners are also no longer tied to the built-in Apple Remote and can now teach Apple TV to recognize other infrared remot
A year after iTunes began offering music without copy protection software from EMI, Apple is in discussions with the other three top recording companies about acquiring DRM-free songs, according to two music industry sources.
The talks are still preliminary and no deals have been finalized, but one source said one of the major labels is close to a final agreement.
Of course, after Apple develops an elegant and perfectly understandable mobile UI, Linux hackers want to tear it down. Bring on the OpenMoko, Android or Ubuntu Mobile for the iPhone.
I enjoyed a recent post by PlanetBeing on the Linux on the iPhone blog. It was an attempt to justify why someone would want to spend a tremendous amount of time to bring Linux to the iPhone, when he or she could “just develop on an open platform instead with no such wasted effort?”
Good question, dude.
IPhone users will soon able to vocally search the Web using the updated Google Mobile app for the iPhone.
The updated Google mobile app supposed to appear last Friday pending approval by Apple. But so far the app has not appeared on iTunes Store yet. So what happened?
Google is going to release it for the iPhone before their own Android phone. Why would Apple delay the application? It make no sense at all. This is one cool app that would sell more iPhone.
Major League Baseball's iPhone app rocked. Live game updates, almost instant video highlights, box scores, etc. So now that it's football season, where's the National Football League's equivalent?
Not happening, says an NFL rep. Sprint Nextel (S) pays the league $50 million a year to be its exclusive wireless sponsor/content partner, a deal that runs through 2009. And Sprint's rival AT&T (T) has an exclusive on Apple's (AAPL) iPhone, reportedly through 2010. Which suggests the iPhone app store is off limits for the NFL at least through 2009, and perhaps beyond.
