More evidence Apple is testing 4G LTE iPhone and iPad emerges
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksCell PhonesAppleiPhone 4siPad 3
New evidence has emerged that further confirms Apple’s ongoing tests of an LTE-enabled iPhone and iPad. BGR exclusively reported last week that multiple Apple carrier partners are currently testing iPhone models equipped with LTE radios. Our source also supplied a PLIST file containing evidence of the LTE-enabled iPhone. Now, MacRumors has discovered this LTE.plist file in iOS 5 developer builds for both the GSM iPhone 4 and the CDMA iPad 2. While the discovery of these files does not necessarily indicate that Apple plans to release 4G LTE-compatible devices in the near future, it does reaffirm that ongoing tests are being conducted with the new high-speed wireless technology.

iPhone 3GS free on Monday at Best Buy
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 3GS
Best Buy gave the iPhone 3GS an informal sendoff Monday with a special one-day promo. Those who buy the phone in-store on August 22 only can get it for free when paired up with a two-year AT&T contract. Its deal makes it the cheapest route to an iPhone 3GS, cutting under a $9 refurb deal.
Apple is widely presumed to be phasing out the iPhone 3GS entirely when it introduces the iPhone 5. Some signs have already emerged that the iPhone 4 will be the new entry model. Canadian provider Koodo started supporting Apple this spring by only carrying the iPhone 4, hinting that Apple wanted to cut down on iPhone 3GS production.

Dropbox, now Lion friendly
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleMac OS X 10.7
Dropbox, the cloud based file sharing service for Macs, PCs, and mobile phones, has quietly rolled out an update for Mac OS X Lion users, bringing back a number of features that they’ve probably been missing.
The new update includes integration support for Mac OS X Lion 10.7, and a fix from 1.2.x; a rare issue (from 1.2.x) where certain Mac OS X machines wouldn't upload files automatically. There's also another fix of a bug from 1.2.x that caused the tray menu to become unresponsive on certain Linux machines.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleSonosMac OS X 10.7
Sonos has said that it has found the bug that is stopping users from streaming music to its multi-room wireless system when using Apple’s new operating system, Mac OS X Lion.
The bug, which breaks music playback, has left Apple users sitting in silence (if they wanted to listen to their own music), however it has been isolated and is being fixed promises Andrew Schulert, vice president of Quality.
“First things first. We’d like to apologise. We know that not being able to use your Sonos system with Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) has been a real drag,” the VP says in a letter on the company’s forum. “The long and the short of it. We began beta testing earlier this week and if all goes well, we expe...

Apple Selling Refurbed iPhone in China as New, Gets Sued by Customers
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Apple is sued for allegedly selling refurbished iPhone handsets as new in China, which is a pretty damn big deal if it’s true. I’d like to think there is more to this story, so hopefully we’ll get to the bottom of it sooner than later. But I can’t imagine what it must be like to take home a brand-spankin’ new iPhone and opening it up and using it only to realize that it isn’t a fresh virgin from the factory.

Apple Seeks to Patent Thinner Headphone Jack
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Apple has applied for a new patent that would halve the size of audio jacks for headphones and the ports needed to accommodate them. The jacks would be sliced in half lengthwise, decreasing the thickness from today's standard 3.5mm to 1.75mm. The housing for the jack would be placed on the outer edge of a device, rather than buried internally. The patent application notes that this would cause a few problems and Apple proposes how to solve them. First, though existing jacks would fit into the new design, there's nothing holding them in place, so they'd fall out. Apple proposes to solve this by creating a magnetic interface to hold the jack in place. Second, the half-exposed jacks would be vi...
