iOS 5 landing on October 10th, iPhone 5 on October 15th?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsAppleiPhone 4siOS 5
AppleInsider is reporting that AppleCare has been informed to prepare for a swarm of inquiries on or around October 10th regarding iOS. And no, I don’t think it’s because people are suddenly going to forget how to use their iPhones and iPads that day. The report signals the release of the highly anticipated iOS 5 and iPhone 5.
Now, it’s important to note that AppleInsider’s credibility has often been hit or miss. In fact, we have a bit of a warning:
“While AppleInsider cannot verify the accuracy of the information provided, the tip did include specific details on call volumes that suggest the details are at least plausible. However, since the details come from an unproven source, the informa...

iOS 5 gold master to reach iPhone 5 last week of September
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsAppleiPhone 4siOS 5
Apple is expected to ship the finished version of iOS 5 to manufacturers the last week of September, Concord Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo understood from sources on Monday. The current schedule would have the iPhone 5 and fifth-generation iPod touch get the completed (gold master) OS between September 23 and 30. He explained to AppleInsider that, with preloaded firmware, the devices should take about 10 to 12 days to ship and will conveniently line up with an iPhone 5 release in the first half of October.
Large-scale assembly is believed to have started in late August without available firmware. It's unclear how many will be ready on launch day and whether Apple will have enough to suppor...

Apple sued for patent infringement over iTunes and movie trailers
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Another day and Apple is at the core of another patent suit in the tech world. This time around, the suit wasn’t brought against someone by Apple, Apple is being sued and it’s not by Samsung. The suit was brought against Apple by a company called Droplets Inc. based in Plano Texas. Naturally, the suit was filed in the East Texas court that is known for siding with patent holders.
Droplets has some large and well-known clients that license its tech including IBM, Borland, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. The patent at the heart of the case is number 6,687,745 called “System and method for delivering a graphical user interface of remote applications over a thin bandwidth connection.” The patent was...

Report of Steve Jobs' death mistakenly repeated on CBS News.com
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Two big errors this last week pointed out the problems of relying on tweets as a legitimate news source such as the Associated Press or Reuters. Last week, someone hacked into the NBC News Twitter account and sent out a tweet about a terror attack and plane crash at Ground Zero. Of course, with the 10th anniversary of the attack on the United States, everyone's sensitivity was set on skittish to begin with.
"What's Trending" host and creator Shira Lazar
That was followed up by a report on CBS News' "What's Trending". The web show reports on trends happening on the internet and passed along a report on Friday that read, "Reports say that Steve Jobs has passed away. Stay tuned for more updates...

Will Apple CEO Tim Cook make a Game Console?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
As many of you know, I’ve often been critical on these pages of Apple’s inability to fully capitalize on the living room. I’m a firm believer that the company has a real opportunity to be a dominant force in home entertainment, and yet, it hasn’t done anything to prove that. So far, the Apple TV is the best offering it has, and most would agree, that that device is still just a “hobby.”

Steve Jobs Death Tweet Kills Web Show's Relationship with CBS
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Steve Jobs might be alive and kicking (as of this article's writing), but those responsible for posting a Twitter message suggesting otherwise have suddenly found a new death on their hands to talk about: The death of their Web show's affiliation with CBSNews.com.
The Twitter account for the web show "What's Trending" was responsible for the Friday Twitter message: "Reports say that Steve Jobs has passed away. Stay tuned for more updates." The problem? Jobs sure wasn't dead.
The show attempted to cover its bases by disavowing the death report minutes later, but armies of users retweeting the update had already cast the unconfirmed report out into cyberspace. And CBS was left to mop up the eg...

Sprint rumored to retain unlimited data with iPhone 5 launch, prove unicorns are indeed legit
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Here's the word straight from Bloomberg's unnamed sources: Sprint's not only getting the elusive iPhone 5 -- it's keeping an unlimited data plan around just to sway buyers who may otherwise spring for the AT&T / Verizon Wireless variants. Furthermore, these folks in-the-know have good reason to believe that it'll be launched "next month," which gives Apple a shockingly small amount of time to invite us over for a west coast reveal. As it stands, the only folks who'll get limitless data with an iPhone 5 on its existing US carriers are those with grandfathered plans; any new customers on Ma Bell or Big Red will be forced to select one of many tiered options. Not surprisingly, neither Sprint no...

LG fixes iPad 2 display issues and boosts panel shipments
Like UnlikeFiled in: LGApple
In early August, we reported that Apple started boosting its iPad 2 display panel orders with Samsung after LG’s panels failed to meet the iPad maker’s quality requirements. DigiTimes said on Friday that LG has addressed the quality issues and has now boosted its shipments back to their original levels. The South Korea-based company reportedly shipped 4 million 9.7-inch iPad 2 panels during the month of August, up from the 2.4-2.5 million it shipped in July, and it is expected to maintain its current volume through September. Taiwan Economic News said Foxconn-owner Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. has boosted its projected iPad 2 shipments for the third quarter to 20 million units, although Di...

Adobe finally brings Flash to iPhone and iPad

During the IBC trade show in Amsterdam on Friday, Adobe officially took the wraps off of its new Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5 and Adobe Flash Access 3.0 products, which will allow iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users to access Adobe Flash content. Apple, which has long rejected Adobe’s Flash technology, doesn’t need to approve the tech for it to work, either. “With Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5, media publishers now have a single, simple workflow for delivering content using the same stream to Flash-enabled devices or to the Apple iPhone and iPad,” Adobe said in...

Apple Successfully Blocks Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 From Germany
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleGALAXY Tab 10.1
Apple and Samsung have been in a legal tussle for quite some time now, but it looks like Apple still has the advantage as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been banned from sale in Germany. A German court recently decided to uphold its temporary ban on the Android tablet set last month. But that’s not all for Samsung:
Apple, the maker of the iPad, won a second injunction at the same court last week, forcing Samsung to pull the new Galaxy Tab 7.7 out of the IFA consumer-electronics show in Berlin. The legal battle between Cupertino, California-based Apple and its closest rival in tablet computers is intensifying as an increasing number of consumers use devices such as tablets and smartphones to...

Google Music launches on iOS as a beta web app

Google Music Beta seems like the most logical thing to have on Android - after all it allows you uploading some 20,000 tracks to the Google cloud and use them from almost any device, and almost was partly constituted by the hoard of iOS device users, which have been missing an app.

iPhone 4 shipping times slip to 1 to 3 days
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4
Shipping times for the iPhone 4 have extended to 1 to 3 days at Apple's online store, checks show. The one exception is the 16GB black Verizon model, which is still shipping within 24 hours. iPhones have been available in a 24-hour window for the past several months, making any new delay unusual.
Once an Apple product reaches the one-day shipping threshold it tends to remain there until an update is imminent, at which point the company lets stock dwindle and ultimately vanish. Today's iPhone delay all but confirms plans to release a new iPhone within the next several weeks; recent reports have pointed to a narrower target in early- to mid-October, possibly as soon as October 7th. Apple's mai...

Google’s cloud music service now available on iOS
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleGoogleiOS 4iOS 5
The Google Music service that launched back at Google I/O will now work on iOS devices, including both iPhones and iPads. The service has generated very little buzz since its inception and still remains in a private beta stage. However, the service had been rumored for months before its launch and is Google’s first major attempt to rival Amazon’s Cloud Player and Apple’s iTunes with iCloud.
Google struggled with securing licensing deals with major record label companies, causing several delays, and ultimately decided to launch it without much music industry support. Hence, Google Music operates similar to Amazon’s Cloud Player as a digital locker for mp3s rather than a fully integrated music...

Google gives HTC Patents to Sue Apple
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleHTCGoogle
I am not a fan of patent wars in the technology space. Especially if its about software patents. In most cases consumers lose at the end as innovation and broad availability of products get stifled. Apple is currently trying to slow down the Android camp with patent infringement lawsuits. Samsung and HTC are the most well known targets right now. HTC has got now indirect support from Google. Bloomberg reports that HTC has sued Apple yesterday using a bunch of patents they got from Google.
Looking at what the lawsuit is about, it just shows how lame these patent battles are. The infringed patents are about a way to upgrade software wirelessly, a way to transfer data between a microprocessor a...

iPhone 5 test photo supposedly leaks
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
It may look like a tempting plate of uni, hirame and other sushi delights, but this photo may actually be the first publicly-spotted photo taken by the iPhone 5. Caught on Flickr, although the description suggests it’s the product of an iPhone 4, the EXIF data says different. Cropped down to roughly 5-megapixels from its original 3264 x 2448 – or roughly 8-megapixels, the expected resolution of the iPhone 5 camera – the location data suggests it was taken by an Apple engineer eating lunch in the campus canteen.
If this really is the product of an iPhone 5 prototype, then photographers have some fun incoming. According to the EXIF, the camera that shot the image has a 4.3mm f/2.4 lens, a cons...
