Most agree that the original TomTom iPhone app is a tad overpriced at $99 for just the app. That doesn’t include the $119 windshield mount. Esspecially now that Google has made its mark on the GPS market with the free Google Maps Navigation app. And so that brings us to the latest TomTom GPS app. This one is US-only, but only costs $50.
The iPhone officially went on sale in China at the end of October and in Japan in summer last year, but many people in one important Asian market were still waiting for it the whole time: Korea. After getting the official government approval in mid-November, the country’s number two mobile carrier, KT Corporation, started rolling out the iPhone on November 28. And it can be happy about a pretty successful roll-out.
Apple has announced a buy-out of streaming music site Lala, which could prompt integrating a similar service with iTunes in the near future.
The US-based website allows users to stream music from an online music catalogue without the irritation of advertisements interrupting your listening.
Looks like Apple’s lawyers will be extra busy in the coming days. Some entity by the name of St. Clair Intellectual Property Consultants has filed suit against the house that Jobs built, alleging that the iPhone infringes upon several of its patents.
We know it can be tough scraping by with a measly 2.93GHz Xeon processor and 1TB hard drives in your Mac Pro, so you'll no doubt be pleased to know that Apple has finally seen fit to add a bit of extra horsepower to its humble little desktop.
Beating all other luxury phones to acquire the title of the world’s most expensive phone is Stuart Hughes' new Apple iPhone 3GS SUPREME. The extremely expensive phone is priced at a whopping £1.92 million ($3.15million) and was 10 months in the making.
Sure, a Motorola Droid-style glowing red eye sounds cool, but the iDroid app would not have actually replicated any Droid features. In fact, it would have been little more than an ad spewing marketing propaganda once you tapped on it.
Apple fans and developers keep their ear close to the ground to find the new tidbits on coming Apple products from all sorts of sources. Often those sources include usage logs and deeply buried profiles in updates and software from Apple. Developer Pandav has discovered a usage record for an iPhone model that has not been announced.
The now immensely famous 21 year old Australian hacker, Ashley Towns, has been offered a job with a Sydney-based software firm called Mogeneration. Just in Case you're unfamiliar with his work, Towns is the creator of the very first iPhone worm called Ikee. The worm itself posed no real harm to iPhone users but was merely a way to prove that even Apple's almighty iPhone was susceptible in some way.
The Korean’s have always got something new to offer from the mobile department to other electronics that include Apple iPod’s vast environment of accessories. Korean company Dualav, has just announced a new iPod dock called the Dual Pop 100. It’s a neat little dock designed in a spherical shape with the dock connector on top. The Dual Pop 100 incorporates an FM radio as well as an alarm function. Priced at about $58.67 and is available in a black and white edition.
Though Ocarina, an ancient flute-like wind instrument, isn’t commonly seen or heard, some folks from Japan have designed the world's most expensive ocarina. No it isn’t shaped out of gold nor festooned with precious stones or diamonds.
You get a relatively hot phone out onto more carriers, and just like that, sales increase. It ain't rocket science, buster. As AT&T grins happily while enjoying a death grip on Apple's cash cow here in the States, things are a lot more wide open for consumers across the pond.
Dynamic Controls has just taken the wraps off of its new iPhone application which should be of great interest to those who use a wheelchair on a daily basis. The application -- which connects with the wheelchair via Bluetooth and has a built-in charger for the iPhone or iPod touch -- enables diagnostics to check for any problems with the chair. It also allows users to get real-time information, speed information, and compass data.
Okay, we admit to still being a little bit unsure about OnLive's pledges for high-end, high-resolution, lag-free gaming on any 'ol device with bandwidth, but we want to believe, and so it's with skeptical optimism that we report on news of mobile implementations.
OMWOW! Pocket-Lint has some red hot pix of the iPod Touch used in Apple Stores to enable on-the-spot check out. It’s a standard Touch with a barcode scanner and credit card reader but it replaces the old EasyPay systems from Microsoft they were using until now.
Clearly this is either an old patent or a Macguffin because whatever this thing is it’s not the iPad. Basically you’ve got some sort of tablet app for recognizing pen input in phrases instead of in “chunks.”
The iPhone gamepad case is back with an overhauled design that brings controls to the front, and adds dual analog nubs (the same as the Pandora gaming handheld). There's also an internal battery that charges the iPhone while playing.
We already knew that Apple's homegrown Mini DisplayPort connector was being baked into the DisplayPort 1.2 specifications, but now said socket has even more validity in the marketplace thanks to a ringing endorsement from the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).
Lovers of Snow Leopard, oversized IPS display panels, and Intel's very latest processors, your time for rejoicing has come. Apple has begun sending off shipping confirmations to customers who ordered up their slab of quad-core all-in-one nirvana in October, and the biggest and baddest iMacs should be arriving at their new homes imminently.
