Telcel Hints at iPhone Hardware update

Marco Quatorze, Telcel's Director of Value Added Services in Mexico, says that Apple will release a new  iPhone 4 hardware update by the end of September that will fix the reception issues facing this new iPhone.

As of September 30 Telcel will be available in new devices that do not have the malfunction of the reception and explained that the company will have several options to make changes from one phone to another flawed not to take: "If the previous plan is over, you will need to hire a new change for iPhone 4. If, for example, already has one and take three months for payment, change the cell with a re-employment and takes into account the previous time, so instead of paying 24 months, only done in 21."

It's unclear whether the statement has been verified by apple or the director of Telcel is simply assuming a hardware update will come out because of the end of Apple free bumper case program. Its’ possible, though unlikely, that Apple will announce something about a the iPhone 4’s reception problems.

The European Union has got over 10 mobile device giants including Apple, Motorola to sign a universal charger agreement. This is practical for many reasons.

Experts say this will come to the US too, the question is when.

Now, everyhting I need is at the top and grouped together. Way to go Google!

PC vs Mac, PC winner? Yeah, right!

Microsoft has recently launched an anti-Mac page attempting to convince you that PCs are better than Macs. They state 6 main reasons saying why you should ditch your Mac.

1. Macs might spoil your fun.
2. Macs can take time to learn.

4. Macs don't like to share.
5. Macs might not like your PC stuff.
6. Macs don't let you choose.

iPad vs Windows 7 Tablet Showdown

A Windows 7 tablet and an Apple iPad have been put to the test in a head-on battle. Lordfingle shows both devices doing similar everyday tasks. These include Web browsing, video, e-mail, and calendar.

Windows 7 Tablet

vs.

The Apple iPad

iPad

Weight- 1.5 Pounds

Hometown- Cupertino, CA





Windows Tablet
Weight- 2.11 pounds
Hometown- Made in China

 

The iPad was the clear winner in the showdown. Although the Windows 7 tablet did have some things that were better then the iPad. Overall, the iPad was far more superior. The only notable thing that the Windows 7 Tablet was better than the iPad at was web browser speed. The browser itself is a Windows 7 tablet was overall very badly designed. Zooming in and zooming out was glitchy and it wasn't very smooth.

iPad SHOWDOWN WINNER 2010

App Store Volume Purchase Program

Apple just released a program to give 50% discounts for educational institutions called the app store volume purchase program. They're given discount when purchased in bulk, meaning 20 copies or more. Developers are given this option to add the program to all or only some of their apps.

Big Brother Camera App

The new big brother app has just been released. This app is for safeguarding your iPhone. When set it you must enter a passcode to gain access to your iPhone. If it is incorrect it will notify you by e-mail. The report includes the location, time, and two pictures of the user. If the app is quit, the location, time, and yes two pictures will be sent. The only downside is that it's a one-time shot if it's stolen. Thats's because the person is highly unlikely to start the app again. But the face should be enough to regain your iPhone. It should be good to point out however that this is iPhone 4 only.

Is Magic trackpad a viable choice?

The magic trackpad has been praised and questioned leading some users to think is the magic trackpad really a viable choice?


Yay!- It does everything the magic mouse can do and more and because it's a large square you can effectively do gestures. That's a huge plus.


Nay- Although it is new and has a bunch of features some people prefer an actual mouse for large screens.


Should I buy it?


I cant really tell so I recommend going to the apple store and see for yourself and see what suites you the best.

Exposer

With the recent release of safari extensions, many developers are creating great new apps working. One of these apps is called exposer what this does is it will it show you Safari tabs in exposé form.

Hackulo.us Position on Cracked Apps

A new post by Hackulo.us has recently addressed questions about the legality and morality of installous and about how it affects developers. They eventually concluded that installous is good. Why? They stated three key concepts. Number one is its trial utility that allows users to download a complete out for free and then they can decide if they want to buy it.



Second is increasing visibility. They are saying that there are many amazing but unknown apps and are maybe only known to a small group of developers. If it is cracked on a site such as app tracker which has ton of unique visitors each month, this app could be better exposed to people

Jailbreakme now Banned?

The new jailbreak method jailbreakme created by comex has recently been banned, not to my surprise, in Apple stores. When one tries to access jailbreakme.com they are redirected to apple.com this is because of the large number of iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads using this new jailbreaking method.

The Best Jailbreak Method Ever?

You may have heard of the new jailbreaking method called "Jailbreak Me". It's said to be the best jailbreaking method ever. So, is it? And how do you do it?


First of all it doesn't require a computer. What, no computer? Yep, no computer. That's because it's a browser based jailbreak. It uses a browser based exploit to be able to jailbreak your iPhone or iPod touch from the browser. Simply go to jailbreakme.com and slide the slider which says slide to jailbreak. Wait a couple of minutes and after it's complete you should have Cydia on your home screen.


Is it the easiest jailbreak method ever?


•Absolutely! Not only is it the easiest way, it works with all devices on all firmwares. But if you plan to have a jailbroken iPhone 4, you better buy it quick because apple just announced that they will be patching this exploit.
