Apple to Cut All Emoji-Activating Apps from the Appstore!
2009-03-01 01:45:00 We all remember Emoji, the new “feature” that Apple released with 2.2 firmware, or rather included but disabled on any non-Japanese iPhones. Shortly after the firmware update, a tweak was released on Cydia to enable the Emoji icons. Since all of this, the popularity of Emoji has grown and grown, and now seems that it has it’s own “mini-market” on the App Store, with many developers creating apps that enable the icons for non-jailbroken iPhones. Now, true to form, Apple is having a crackdown on Emoji activation outside of Japan. So it’s no surprise that many of… More About: News
iPhone Exclusivity Ending for AT&T Soon?
2009-02-28 20:48:00 If Apple?s interim CEO Tim Cook considers what to do with the current carrier arrangement over the iPhone, rumors are flying that Verizon Wireless may be courting Cupertino for a similar exclusive arrangement for Apple customer loyalty. Apple’s contract with AT&T is supposed to last until 2010, and it is highly unlikely that AT&T will allow Apple to subsidize the phone under other carriers before that time. Verizon Wireless is known as the premier network in the US, and it is no surprise that Apple is interested in ridding the iPhone of AT&T’s spotty network in order to improve… More About: News , Iphone , Ending
?iPhone? Nano Found in China!
2009-02-28 05:18:00 “Designed in USA, Assembled in China ”. That is what reads on the back of this iPhoney; next to the chrome Apple logo that seems to have its leaf cut off. A not-so decent knock off of the first generation iPhone, the “iPhone” Nano sports a removable metal backing, revealing two SIM cards, a removable battery, and a slot for up to 8GB of microSD memory. The OS reveals a cheap feel and a sluggish interface that more closely resembles a less attractive Samsung or LG interface; sluggish and poorly designed. The phone’s screen has also been changed, to a… More About: News , Iphone

Well, today?s the day that the ?Anti Mosquito ? app will save your life! It produces ultrasonic-sounds, ranging from 16 KHz to 20 KHz, at frequencies that are way too high for us — humans — to hear!

Why iPhone Service Prices Probably Won?t Be Reduced.
2009-02-25 21:30:00 There have been various reports posted in blogs recently hinting at an impending price drop regarding the iPhone. MacWorld reprinted this article from the BizFeed blog at PC World’s Business Centre. There’s no shortage of buzz over predictions that iPhone service costs are about to drop, but I wish to respectfully disagree with that expectation. The predicted price drop is supposed to be the result of a trickle-down effect from the heating up of competition for cellular customers. Fortune.com quotes Kaufman Bros’ analyst Shaw Wu as saying “cheaper all-you-can-eat pricing from Sprint and T-Mobile could convince AT&T to reduce… More About: News , Iphone , Service , Prices
Five Android Apps That Won?t Make it Into the App Store!
2009-02-25 06:41:00 Ever since Apple launched the iTunes App Store , they have been notoriously strict in terms of it’s app screening process, rejecting applications for many reasons, some more obvious than others. While Google has also taken steps to assert their authority in regards to apps sold in the Android Market, their vetting process is notably more relaxed than Apple’s. This goes a little way towards explaining why, when browsing the App Store, you can now find a plethora of apps that “recreate” fart sounds. The Android Market is still relatively new (paid apps only begun to get approved earlier this… More About: News , Make
hClipboard - Copy and Paste Apps Are Like Buses, You Wait For One and Two C
2009-01-25 06:43:00 Another developer released his own copy/paste app called hClipboard yesterday, that’s right ANOTHER copy/paste app. But KennyTM~ has taken a very different approach with his app as it is based on iKeyEx. It also seems to work on the principal that the keyboard has to be active to use it, but what is different is that hClipboard is an extension of the qwerty keyboard so you have to go to the Settings.app and open keyboards and then activate it, just as if it was an alternative international keyboard, then simply hit the globe icon with the keyboard open… More About: Utilities , Buses , Copy , Paste , Wait

LiveTime - New App Allows Constant Display of the Time on Your Clock Icon!
2009-01-24 04:47:00 The creator of Clippy, Ryan Petrich, has done it again. Just 24 hours after he released his ground breaking copy and paste application, he now presents LiveTime . LiveTime basically animates the current time on the stock clock icon on the SpringBoard, allowing it to continuously display and update right there on the icon itself. When you first install LiveTime it automatically animates the clock icon just like a real analogue clock face with the hour, minute and second hands. However, it overlays the animation onto the stock icon so you will notice that you can still see 10:15… More About: Icon , Clock , Display , The Time
Apple Goes To WAR!
2009-01-24 04:37:00 Many developers have written games, utilities, transfer programs, and many other tools. Now, Apple has gone to War. As you can see, an iPhone/iTouch is securely and protectively fastened to the side of that M10, which is the replacement for the M24 sniper Rifle used by our armed forces. This tricky bit of cross technology allows for the shooter to have your standard ballistics app which allows users to set firearm and ammunition profiles, then use this profile and enter info such as distance, wind direction, elevation and temperature.

8GB iPhone 3G for ?1 in Austria! What?s the deal T-Mobile?
2009-01-22 21:20:00 T-Mobile has recently cut a break for potential 8GB iPhone 3G buyers in Austria , a country in Europe, with the purchase of a 2-year contract. The retail price for this new deal is ONLY ?1 for the 8GB which is definitely something unexpected! ?1 in Euros is approximately $1.30 in US dollars and for any cell phone, that is a huge bargain. It’s probably the cheapest iPhone 3G being sold by an authorized retailer. But the requirement for this cheap deal, is a ?45 monthly service which is about $56.36.

I’ve heard complaints on various forums about the fact that Apple doesn’t let you view apps/games from your iPhone on a TV, and restricts it only to videos.

iPhone 3G Scheduled To Come To Vermont.
2009-01-12 08:32:00 Vermont may have gorgeous scenery, maple syrup, and civil unions, but up until now it hasn’t had the iPhone. Since the Green Mountain State is one of the few to lack native AT&T service, Vermonters have been left out of the iPhone classic and iPhone 3G scramble. Sure, they could buy them somewhere else and use the phones in Vermont, but it isn’t quite the same. But as the Burlington Free Press reported recently, AT&T’s acquisition of Unicel will bring Apple’s amazing iPhone to the state.

Apple Releases DRM-Free iTunes Music!

With millions of songs and videos, and the new Genius feature, it becomes easier to download anything your heart, and ears, desire. If an awesome song is released, you have the option to purchase only that song instead of its entire album (as opposed to CD’s). Most aspects of iTunes have been convenient and enjoyable, but there are exceptions. Apple had armed their iTunes content with DRM (Digital Rights Management) in order to protect music from illegal mass-distribution. That sounds reasonable, but there’s a huge problem with it.
