It seems that this is slowly but surely transforming into a trend. Whenever there’s a new SDK build released ( especially near an upcoming hardware/software release ) , devs are snooping around for all sorts of hints – hints that sometimes can be misleading.




For example the example above. This can easily be a hint that iPhone OS 4.0 will bring multitasking. But in the same time most stock apps can multitask ( phone.app, iPod.app, Safari.app, Mail.app, etc. ) so, this dialog can refer to existent functionality.


Don’t take articles like this one too serious. Take... [Read More]

New day, new app in Cydia: SecureContacts. This app will allow you to export all your contacts to a secure server and export them at any time as a CSV file.



During the export process, you can also add a password that will protect your file. You can download the file in .csv form from their servers at any time and this app might be useful if you need to restore your iPhone on another computer and you don’t have your contacts synced with Adress Book.


Remember that you can manually... [Read More]

The latest iPhone SDK reveals that Apple has added two new touch commands to the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

A 9to5Mac user has found these new commands in the gestures folder of the iPhone 3.2 Beta 4 SDK.

The files, 3Tap.plist and LongPress.plist, refer to a triple tap and a long press command; both of which are not present in the 3.1 SDK.

It's thought that Apple may even allow developers to use these ready made APIs in the shipping version of the iPad.

According to the mobile phone advertising company Mobclix, eBooks passed another milestone this month overtaking iPhone games in the app store. This should not come as a shock, since there’s practically no barriers in releasing an eBook app.



All you need to do is code a wrapper for the eBook, release the title in the app store and pretty much that’s it. Games, on the other hand, require you to have more advanced programming, artistic and design skills.


Most probably Apple is trying to encourage such stats,... [Read More]

Ok, we can tell as much as you do from the screenshots above. But there’s no doubt that something happened, we still don’t get flash on the iDevice, but at least we don’t see that annoying missing plugin lego piece anymore.


So, we recorded and edited the video for our previous post and I uploaded it to our Facebook page... [Read More]

Apple reportedly fired warning shots at handset makers to underscore its growing displeasure at seeing iPhone related intellectual property infringed.

Citing industry checks Oppenheimer's Yair Reiner writes that:

"Starting in January, Apple launched a series of C-Level discussions with tier-1 handset makers to underscore its growing displeasure at seeing its iPhone-related IP [intellectual property] infringed. The lawsuit filed against HTC thus appears to be Apple's way of putting a public, lawyered-up exclamation point on a series of blunt conversations that have been occurring behind closed doors.

"Our checks also suggest that these warning shots are meaningfully disrupting the development... [Read More]

It’s not quite as fancy as the Palm Pre and the battery is certainly a little more expensive, but inductive charging is inductive charging (that is to say, it’s always awesome). If you’ve always thought that plugging your iPhone in just to juice it up was an annoying and overly complicated proposition, then you’re a prime candidate for wireless charging cases like this one. All you need to do is slap the case on, set it down on the pad, and watch it charge. Granted, you’ll have to take it off if you want to add more music to your iPhone, but it seems easy enough.

Doodle Jump for the iPhone is something like a developer’s fairy tale: two brothers set out to make a game using only the talents they’ve got at hand, and end up striking gold. They keep pushing out minor updates, and the game just keeps selling.



Tomorrow morning, Lima Sky will be announcing that Doodle Jump has just surpassed 3 million sales — a feat, they claim, is a first for any Indie development house.

That’s a slice of ... [Read More]

Apple is reportedly trying to re-enter the Chinese smartphone market with a revamped iPhone, by working together with China Unicom.

The Cupertino-based company wants to offer a re-designed version of its popular iPhone, along with Chinese standard WiFi capabilities.


Back in October, Apple tried to enter the Chinese smartphone market, but failed to take the country by storm as the phone offered a lot less than the what was being offered by the localized fake versions of the device.


The Chinese government asked Apple and Unicom to stop supporting WiFi and adapt to the... [Read More]

In a new Apple patent revealed a few day ago shows the ever improving and forward thinking Apple company trying to make incorporating video advertisements into the iPhone easier. Ideally, integrating ads into iTunes television show and movies will lower the cost of episodes or even make your the shows you love to watch free. This concept is new, it’s much like the online video viewing site Hulu.com, where to view more of the show your watching you must endure short predetermined commercial breaks on the video.

I already mentioned I’m on my way to GDC 2010 to cover the iPhone panel, and that iPhone gaming is getting big, so it’s interesting to see CNET reenforce just how big it’s getting:

strikingly absent among those 18 [Mobile Gaming] panels are any that deal with game development specifically for the iPhone. And why? Because for the first time, the GDC advisory board decided that Apple’s smartphone is an important enough

Following on Daring Fireball’s suggestion that iPhone 4.0 might bring the Calculator, Clock, Stocks, Weather, and Voice Memo to the iPad, The Loop Insight argues that it might just be iPhone 4.1 instead:

Phone OS 4.0 will include lots of new features, just like you

A new report by The Loop suggests that Apple will won't unify the iPad and iPhone operating systems until sometime this fall.

Currently the iPhone is running OS 3.1.3 and the iPad will run OS 3.2 when it ships. It's widely expected that a new iPhone will be announced in June that will bring new hardware as well as OS 4.0. Many assumed that Apple would use this major OS release to unify the two systems; however, The Loop suggests this won't happen till fall.

iPhone OS 4.0 will include lots of new features, just like you would expect to see from Apple. However, It doesn’t make sense for Apple to unify the two operating systems for 4.0 with the timeline they are working with.

Rather, I expect Apple to... [Read More]
