By manoj | August 7, 2008
Sometimes it seems that Apple simply forget to have some products in the catalogue and that they remain there, real estate, until someone will remember them. For a comparison we take for example the ‘iMac: the first version G5, based on the design of its Cinema Display, is dated August 2004.
Since then the ‘all-in-one has been well-2 major restyling and numerous small updates. A big difference.
The ecology could, however, come to the aid of those hoping for new screens: the only reason that could push Cupertino to update the range, which apparently still sells well despite the obsolescence is’ commitment made by Steve Jobs to free Halogen of polluting technology in the near future.
According to the latest rumors, would be the Macworld San Francisco the most likely for the announcement: in January could end the long agony of the Cinema Display, a chapter a little embarrassing in the history of Cupertino…

By manoj | August 4, 2008
This time the rumor is richer in detail: there is even the name of a telephone operator and a price. The Daily Mail reported that an iPhone nano is arriving in time for the holiday season and will be very affordable. He says: The product will be launched in the UK at a price of up to £ 150 for customers pay-as-you-go of by O2, the mobile group owned by Spanish Telefonica. “It will be a successone,” said a source in the industry.
To be fair, some users underline the reliability of the Daily Mail is anything but solid: the head English, in fact, it is known for its slight tendency to sensationalism and news easy. However, beyond the problem of credibility, sources familiar and reliable have confirmed that Apple is working on an iPhone of its kind, but it is the first time that it gives you deadlines so accurate.

Like last year for the first photos of the iPod Nano, even 9to5Mac returns this summer with a new indiscretion provided by the same source in Asia: there is talk of new iPod Nano multi-color, with storage capacity doubled and new feature, soon arrival.
Unfortunately there is to know neither type fantasies, or some of the possible colors that form the houses of this new range of iPod Nano multicolor. Unlike the previous year, this new rumor on the iPod Nano is not followed by any image.
To tell stories, I recall that Apple did remove the pictures of “Fat Nano” 9to5Mac published on its pages a few days after their appearance. It initiates the assumptions on the launch date and specification of piccolino home Apple.

Latest Apple iPhone 3G review
By Andrew | July 12, 2008
First of all here is the pics of iPhones new and old: The iPhone 3G positioned next to the original iPhone. Even though the 3G iPhone looks smaller, it’s a hair thicker.
The Apple iPhone 3G is here, and it promises to be an improvement over the original iPhone. But how much of an improvement is it really? We take a look at the new iPhone 3G from all angles.
The iPhone 3G has almost the same look as the old iPhone, yet it doesn’t. It has the same glass display and Home button, but the sides are smoother and it’s a tad thicker. Though the iPhone 2.0 firmware update brings this functionality to old iPhones too, one of the most notable aspects of the new iPhone 3G is the App Store feature that lets you buy and download applications directly to your phone.The iPhone 3G has slightly more tapered edges, but that’s an illusion that hides the fact that it’s ever so slightly thicker (0.02 inch thicker to be exact). The iPhone 3G comes with a plastic back instead of the metal exterior of the original. The 16GB comes in black or white, while 8GB iPhones will only be in black. The iPhone 3G has the same ol’ 2-megapixel camera as the original. Finally, Apple decided on a flush 3.5mm headset jack for the iPhone 3G, which is a welcome change from the recessed headset jack on the original.
Just like the original, the iPhone 3G fits nicely in the palm of your hand. The iPhone 3G has the same icons and Home screen as the original. The iPhone 3G is certainly slim, but might not be big enough for a pocket. It’s small enough to not weigh down a purse or bag, though. One of the biggest features of the new iPhone 3G is that it has GPS. Here is a screenshot of Google Maps pinpointing our exact location. iPhone 3G comes with the new iPhone 2.0 software that supports Exchange e-mail, as well as access to the brand new MobileMe, which is Apple’s own solution for personal e-mail syncing. A very nice feature of the iPhone 2.0 firmware update that comes standard with the iPhone 3G is that it lets you purchase and download applications directly to the phone. You can get anything from games to productivity applications, in a range of prices.The iPhone 3G’s video player has the same interface as the original. Of course, one of the highlights of the iPhone is its full HTML Safari browser. The iPhone 3G comes with a full slew of language support, thanks to the iPhone 2.0 firmware.

iPhone and App Store: ready to launch more than 500 applications
By manoj | July 10, 2008
This was announced Steve Jobs himself, during a press conference in the United States: the night of Thursday, that this will open the App Store, and will be presented to the public over 500 applications for iPhone and iPod Touch. Among these, says with satisfaction Jobs, a slice of 25% will be free and among the remaining fee (precisely 90% of remaining) will be offered for sale at a price of about $ 9.99 (about 6.35 €) or down from there .
Apple press heavily on his App Store, the same patron of the company says: When IBM launched the PC, this is not decollò until people are not discovered software. Finally, it is estimated that about one third of total applications are ready to launch games. So yes projectors bulleted sales, but also on the official store for the terminal has always expected more.
Apple wand Rogers rates for 3G iPhone?
By manoj | July 8, 2008
Should the matter briefly. Users Canadians are not happy tariffs marketing of ‘iPhone 3G proposed by Rogers, and have also mobilized in a gathering signatures to be attached to’ Open Letter addressed to no less than Steve Jobs in person. And it seems that Apple has responded to with a kind of “sentence”.
It appears, perhaps because of manifest general discontent, that Apple intends to reduce to 10 or 20 the number of 3G iPhone that the shops of the Canadian receive for the start of sales. How to say, Apple has no power to require an explicit change to rates but can do a lot of pressure in that respect. Meanwhile, another rumor has it that Rogers is already discharging much of the part-time staff who had been recruited to manage the huge influx of public but, under the circumstances, at this point seems very unlikely.
Currently, the site of the petition has reached almost 44,000 signatures share.
