VERIZON iPhone4?!! Leaked?!!



Verizon posted a page today on their website that they're now buying iPhones from AT&T in exchange for a Verizon gift certificate. But the prices their willing to shell out for even the newest iPhone4 will probably put you off from any delusional thoughts you may have had of selling it to Verizon! Watch the video & see for yourself! It's pretty funny!

New iPad patents surface in China!





There seems to be much debate over what the small round dot on the top front of these new patent designs represents. Although in my mind it can only be one thing...a FaceTime camera. Just as I predicted for the new iPod Touch to have a camera, I was talking with some ladies in the Apple Store the other day who were looking to buy a new iPad. I told them that they should probably hold off for the next generation, because most likely it would feature a camera. Although using the iPad as a normal camera would be pretty awkward a forward facing camera for FaceTime makes perfect sense.








Earlier in the day the story was all about the 30 pin sync/charge port landscape docking feature, a "mysterious" "USB"/"HDMI" port & a possible "smart bezel" feature that could support Multi-Touch. I & most of the commenters figured the real story was the front facing camera. But stories started by focusing on what they thought was a mini USB or HDMI? I don't think so?? Apple has been moving toward WiFi & Bluetooth syncing & connectivity, why in the ne of Steve Jobs & all that is Jailbreakable would they take a step backwards?? Though it seemed most of the comments shot this idea down quick as lightning also, by pointing out it was probably just the memory card tray for 3G enable iPads. I could see the posibility of a landscape docking port & definitely the FaceTime camera, but HDMI/USB? That's insane! ALTHOUGH...I could see a huge step forward with a USB for syncing OUT, say to an iPod or your iPhone? It could make sense & Apple has been trying to push the
iPad forward in a larger roll as more than just a tablet. Possibly making the iPad a Semi-standalone device? Or maybe that's just wishful thinking as I'd like to ditch my laptop altogether for an iPad. And as for the smart bezel? To me that seems like just to much going on for the clean smooth design of Apples iDevices. But as for now it's all just HOT AIR! We'll have to wait for next year when they unveil the real thing. That is unless some waisted Apple tech slips up again? I'm sure Jobs has anyone with test Devices followed by their security team now.

So, with all the BS flying about today with iPad rumors, impending greenpois0n jailbreak releases & whatnot. What do you think will be featured on the newest iPad? Leave your ideas in the comments section! We'll have a RUMOR WAR!

Wow! It's getting CLOSE! Very soon now! But as they release these for us to DROOL OVER, we all get more anxious! Just remember, wait for the REAL & OFFICIAL JB! Don't be scammed! Don't fall for the crap videos on YouTube!

iPhone 4 on T-Mobile?!!

Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson noted that he had been informed by a T-Mobile manager that the carrier would begin offering the iPhone 3GS (but not the iPhone 4) by the end of this year. Unlike AT&T, T-Mobile's 3G network operates within the 1700 MHz spectrum & not compatible. Although there have been rumors that a Canadian carrier on the same bandwidth as T-mobile will also be selling the iPhone later this year. We'll be hoping along with everyone else, but not holding our breath. Until then it seems a Jailbreak & unlock is the only hope to be freed from AT&T's shackles.

Five Tricks To Save 30% On Battery Life

Here's a short list of the top tweaks for your iPhone or iPod Touch to save some major juice.

1. Turn off your WiFi/3G/Edge connections when your not using apps that require it & not expecting an important email.
*Settings>WiFi & Settings>General>Network




2. Turn off Location Services. This one can suck some serious juice.
*Settings>Location Services



3. Turn off Push Notifications & set to fetch manually.
*Settings>Fetch Data




4. Here's another one that a lot of people don't think about...Vibrate. Turn it off, especially if you get a lot of emails, texts & calls & save quite a lot of battery
life!
*Settings>Sounds




5. The last one is a sneaky one that most people wouldn't ever think of, but your sound alert settings & audio playback settings can really add up to pull on the battery. Like, say you have the Keyboard set to make clicks when typing. If you do alot of text, email or mobile blogging this can really tale a toll on your battery throughout the day. Turn iPod EQ & most functions audio alerts off.
*Settings>Sounds> & Settings>iPod>EQ


Putting these five major battery saving tips into use will dramatically increase your battery life throughout your day & hopefully keep charging to a minimum, mainly after your home. Check out a great App from the app store for maximizing your battery over the life of tour device. Search - Battery Doctor Pro - in the App Store. For a limited time

Cydia Buys Rock - To merge to one Jailbreak App store

Reposted From AppAdvice.com:



Cydia, the jailbreak App Store, is without a doubt the symbol of jailbreaking. Yet, it wasn’t the only player selling apps that weren’t approved by Apple. Rock, a second App Store, has had some success of its own over its 18 months of existence.

Besides the different application and interface (Rock’s was superior IMHO), it was essentially the same thing. You could find most apps on both stores, and while some apps were Cydia or Rock only, there was usually an alternative app on the other store. Yet, for many of us, we had to rely on two jailbreak stores, each with their own set of credentials, and clearly it was a bit of a hassle.

Well, times have changed. Saurik, Cydia’s creator, has now acquired Rock and will merge it into Cydia. As a result, all apps, licenses and so on will be moved from Rock to Cydia over the next couple of days. This will bring the total number of available jailbreak apps, themes and extensions to over 20,000. As for Rock, it will be shut down.

The news, while welcome, comes as a bit of a surprise as Cydia and Rock didn’t always cooperate well in the past. They apparently came to an agreement, and you can now even see the flagship Rock apps featured on Cydia’s main page. Here is what Cydia’s creator told ModmyI about the acquisition:

It’s been a fun ride. We set out to change the landscape and I think we were very successful. I think we contributed to attracting more business professionals to the iPhone jailbreak community, and added some great functionality to the platform. The current transaction with Cydia is a great opportunity for us. We’re going to miss some of the excitement, but no reason for anyone to worry. I, personally, will be spending even more time in Intelliborn apps development (both existing and exciting new projects). A few months ago, Jay and I sat down together and we realized, I enjoyed making apps more (and was better at it), while Jay enjoys providing platform functionality. It was a win-win for both groups and we’re excited about the transition.

Rock’s creator posted some interesting statistics on the site to show us just how successful the service was:

Number of Developers with apps listed in the Rock Store: 124 (from 19 countries)
Unique iOS devices that installed Rock: 4.6 million (from 220 countries/territories) – Wow that is a lot of places!
Registered Rock Users: 2+ million
Number of App licenses sold: 500,000
Users of who took the plunge and bought something: 280,000 (from 185 countries)
Total Rock Your Phone Store revenue (March 12th, 2009 – September 2010): $3.3+ million
Number of Rock Employees (we are using the word employee loosely here but, hey, it is our company)

You can find all the details on what will happen to your licenses and apps directly in Cydia, or on Rock’s website.

Farewell Rock!

New iOS 4.1 Update & Angry Birds takes over the world!

Yesterday, Apple finally released the newest update for their mobile platforms-iOS4.2!! And it ROCKS! Finally Game Center, for all those into online gaming or just the ability to beat your buddies high scores between weekends! Plus the awesome photo upgrade HDR- High Dynamic Range. Allowing you to shoot one photo that is in "perfect" light exposure. Instead of two or three like I usually have to, even from different angles to get the lighting correct. This will be a great advancement! Just be careful to shoot still subjects with HDR. Finding them
in the Camera Roll is easy as they're tagged, but on the desktop you'll have to look for a slightly larger file(around .5MB). This will have to do until Apple releases another upgrade for iPhoto or a way for the next iOS update to Tag them. Here are some examples.

Without HDR...

With HDR...

And then there's HDR on ADHD...

image.jpeg
This is what happens when the subject of your photos is in motion during the long shot process that HDR requires. Be aware of movement @ try to shoot mainly stills with the HDR setting.

Another great addition of this new iOS is Game Center! An online gaming community. Allowing friends & strangers alike to play multi-player RPG's, beat each other's high score's & who know's what else? I can't wait to play Angry Birds in Game Center!

Another feature is the option to buy commercial free TV episodes at $.99 each through iTunes, plus the addition of PING. Although it's already become a haven for spammers. I personally don't need another social media platform.

This is why not to Jailbreak your iPhone!

or Why Apple ROCKS!!!

My iPhone 4 had been acting real glitchy since practically the first day. It had progressively gotten worse, freezing usually everyday, luckily I know a few tricks to get it unbricked when this happens or I'd have been beating down the Genius Bar's proverbial door long ago. I had finally had enough when I couldn't access my Camera Roll or even use any of the Camera/Video functions!

I told my boss about it today at work (he insisted I go with a Mac when I bought my laptop, although I was going to anyway). So he got on the computer, made a Genius Bar reservation & amazingly enough there was plenty of openings! Then he let me off early to go downtown for the appointment. I get there, check in with the always kind & courteous receptionist. Then proceeded to manage my YouTube, Facebook & Blogger accounts as well as give the NEW iPod Touch's a once over. When my time slot was open, the beautiful, nice & very intelligent Apple tech approached me, asked a few questions & then took my iPhone to the back for diagnostics. Although she had told me that they would most likely replace my iPhone today(Don't have to twist my arm!). After a few minutes she came backwith my old iPhone:( AND! A BRAND SPANKIN' NEW iPhone 4!!! Even though mine wasn't that old, it's always nice to start new(Except for having to add all my info, contacts & go to all the previously installed apps & websites to re-establish accounts). But to have an new iPhone that doesn't FREEZE UP after listening to music on my morning bike ride will be awesome!

Seriously Apple ought to just sponsor me or make me part of there Testing & Dev Team! JOBS! ARE YOU LISTENING?!! Somehow I manage to get the wackiest bug ridden iDevices. On my last iPod Touch 2nd Gen, I went through THREE OF THEM! Don't ask me how? But my first two got totally fried, DEAD! Then #3 was fine? All I know is that whenever there's a problem, I take it down to the Good Ol' Genius Bar & their Beautiful tech geek wonder chicks take care of me!

If my iPhone had been Jailbroken I would have been SCREWED! Not to mention, I wouldn't be able to upgrade to iOS 4.1 when I sync my BRAND NEW iPHONE!! Oh, YEAH! Gaming Center BABY!!!

Buy Apple!

New Apple iPad commercial & VLC in the App Store?




Practically the same day that Apple rolls out a new commercial for iPad, stating that iPad is Music, iPad is Medicine, Learning, Teaching & many other things, the news that VLC could be available as early as next week...we'll see.

VLC has been ported to the iPad by Aplidium getting the OK of the VideoLAN team. The app is currently in submission with Apple and is awaiting approval.

VLC (Video LAN Client) a popular open source media player for Mac among.OUt supports a wide variety of video formats as well as streaming video. It's possible that the release for iPad could be as early as next week.

OK, Now I'm Pissed!

This is some BS! I've been trying to post to my Blog for like thre effin days! I DL two of the best rated apps from the App Store that looked great & was positive(So I was lead to believe!) they would work with my Blog (Blogger/Blogspot). But still nothing!

First off the best looking most feature rich of the two... Blogbooster. The features are awesome. Everything from embedding links to inserting Pics. It's a little difficult to use the more complicated features, but their there. It takes a while to load if you set it to sync on starting, but you can turn sync off if you want. Only problem is it wouldn't even post one sentence or a title, let alone a whole post with pics! I could get it to save as a draft, but that's it. So basically it's useless to me. I need an App that will POST!

So on to the next Blog App FAIL! This one is called Blogspace- Video & Picture Blog. This one I had at least minmal success with...I thought. It looked like it would post, but again nothing! And even worse, it wouldn't even save to a draft! I'd spend almost an hour writing a lengthy post with pics & video & go to post it, then FAIL! Erase all my work & leave me with squat! Needless to say I'm pissed. I could have been using email posting all along & at least had my blog going!

* For reference - I'm using an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.0.2 & this is a Blogger/Blogspot blog. Anyone have any luck with any apps that work for this platform? PLEASE LETME KNOW!! I'M DYING!!!

AH-MAY-ZING!

WOW! Where do I start?!! Some might say it's a coincidence that I created this Blog, that just happens to be about Apple products & updates...The SAME DAY that Steve Jobs & Apple roll out a plethora of New Gadgets & coming software updates!!

First lets start with things to come...The Software update for all Apple's mobile devices, dubbed by many as iDevices (Jot that down in your notes). The FIRST big update to Apple's newest mobile iOS4 software will be iOS4.2, slated for release at an unspecified date in the very near future. This update has some nice new features & will include some advances Apple has been talking about & some it has managed to keep quite. The new update will include the new Pinger social network inside iTunes Store & available on the new iTunes 10 update on desktops now. (Denload free at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/">APPLE.COM). A new online Gaming resource for playing multi-player games & beating your buddies high scores.

The major advances are linked to the newest iPod Touch(4th Generation). Just as I had predicted a year ago when I had bought my first iPod(a late 2nd Gen. Touch during there promo), this latest edition has some features that will make you discard your 2/3 Gen in the junk drawer or give it to your younger sibling. The BIGGEST IMPROVEMENT is a camera(my specific prediction!), wait, WHAT?! Yes, & not JUST a camera, an HD VIDEO capable camera! But just hold on... THERE'S MORE!!! Not only does it record HD video, but owners of the new iPod Touch will also be able to take advantage of a certain WiFi feature that all those iPhone 4 owners have been using. Wait...no? It couldn't...YEP! A rear facing camera with FACETIME! The new iPod Touch has the same 5mp forward facing camera as the iPhone 4, as well as the rear facing camera! Sorry to all those folkers who already bought one of the now dinosaur iPods without an HD VIDEO CAMERA with FACETIME! Plus features such as the Retina display, the Multi-Touch interface, the accelerometer, the three-axis gyro, accelerated graphics, and most of the same abilities of the iPhone 4!

I almost just left this out, but I figure someone will want to know about the new iPod Nano. It got a major & I mean major overhaul! Totally new look, it's square & has a belt clip. It features the new Apple multi-touch display. Has a tiny little home screen with 4 native apps. OH! and the part you'll really hate!...They removed the BEST FEATURE of the previous model! The video camera! But really the new iPod Touch stole it, big bully! Really though at a starting price of $149 I'd just save a few more ducats & get the 8GB Touch at $229.

Sometimes I hate Apple, but you all new it was coming, right? They make one device SUPER cool, so you buy it... Then they come out with the next Gen model with stripped or modified features & upgrade the next higher priced device, so then you buy that one...& so on. It's kind of like politics, their both A-holes, but one is just alot less of an A-hole, so you pic that one. Although they have the BEST SERVICE & CUSTOMER SUPPORT of ANY company, yet alone a computer/phone/software company. You think if you Microsoft PC FAILS Bill Gates will arrange for a personal appointment to fix your frozen Windows PC? Yeah, RIGHT! Buy Apple, if you don't like the products you don't have to buy them.

** Look for a future post where I show you why you can tell AT&T to take a flying leap & do everything on an iPod Touch that you can on an iPhone 4 as long as you have a WiFi signal. **
