The iPhone 3GS compared again

The iPhone 3GS was compared to the Palm and Motorola Pre Droid.

Since its release, the iPhone has been widely compared to other phones, and has always been more or less "win" level characteristics and statistics ... But this time, the 3GS is seen compared to two of its biggest competitors: the Palm and Motorola Pre Droid. You guessed it, the mobile OS are: OS X Mobile for iPhone, Palm OS to Android Pre and for Motorola.

As you can see, the three motives are more or less equivalent: they each have a store, everyone Fi, roughly the same price, etc..
But again, the iPhone gets beaten in the NPC, which has only 3.0 megapixels (5.0 for the Motorola) and multi-tasking, that our beloved OS X Mobile does not support.
For cons, the iPhone still wins in the number of applications on his store and the voice command (which does not pre).

Three mobile high-end, even if the iPhone is our favorite, are very good smartphones!

If Apple has already come to sell his smartphone with HUGE shortage (Bluetooth, apn, radio and etc.) quesque its going to be when they will add it all up!

Here, as we said in the news 3 phone that is worth. Each has its strengths and weaknesses. And the iphone will probably not come out winner in this comparison because it has lots of apps.

Square iphone payment system

Square iPhone Payment System is coming now. Square iphone payment system takes the form of a cube with a dock connector just to stay in your iPhone. Combined with the corresponding application, this cube allows you to read and to charge a credit card equipped with a magnetic strip. On the screen of the iPhone, the buyer is prompted for his signature finger to validate the transaction.

The goal is obviously to offer payment very simple and totally secure. As a real payment terminal, the iPhone sends information read from the card and registers the deed of purchase directly. A receipt is sent immediately by SMS or email. Unlike the methods of payment by credit card traditional Square does not require setup fee service, or contract signing. However, a committee would, as always, from the amount of the transaction. I think that Square iPhone Credit-Card Reader will change the Banking Game.

Terminals Square, which eventually should be able to run on any phone with a jack, will be distributed free or at very low price, promised Jack Dorsey. Reserved for micro-transactions, limited to $ 60 initially, they could also be used to exchange money between individuals.

Already occupied by many actors, beginning with Paypal, the market for micro-payments via mobile is a strong trend, already democratized Asia. It remains to be seen whether Square will prove the solution of choice for small businesses and individuals. Below is a video demonstration conducted Wednesday morning in Paris. As can be seen, Jack Dorsey has been the victim of so-called demo effects, namely that nothing ever works as we would when making a presentation in public!

I saw a report on Japan. We could see that using a mobile phone to pay was in common use. Before that can happen to us would have to telephone subscriptions fall by 80%!

Raytheon's iPhone app - the soldier's basic equipment

It would probably be no more doubts on the military capabilities of the iPhone. A fact that is probably arrived by now also in the defense industry. Thus, the American military outfitters Raytheon has now introduced an iPhone application that will help with the real-time location of "enemy troops".

The software "One Force Tracker" combines internet, GPS functionality and accelerometers of the iPhone to "can react with multimedia features such as GPS maps, audio and text messages, planning software, and emergency facilities directly to new situations in the fight.

Well, the accuracy of integrated GPS enemy troops have not a lot to fear. Since I make me more concerned about the poor civilians.
The funny ideas come on!

Apple increases iPhone 3GS sales

Saling iPhone 3GS are looking good, and even exceed all expectations....

Indeed, Apple had sold no less than 7.4 million devices in a single quarterAnd still counting .....

The powerful competitors can never make an "iPhone", which is and will remain an exception in the world of communicating devices.

I am more fearful about the concept of success. The facts that iPhone is selling very well, but it is not new. 3G is already selling very well and 3GS is simply a continuation of 3G. It would be better to see how many people have switched from 3G to 3GS. This is not a generality I think.

Apple's Lala Acquisition, new approach to music via streaming

Apple's major movement in music and the internet:
After rumors that began this past Friday, on Saturday confirmed that apple bought the music service via streaming Lala.

Although that iTunes dominates the market for music sales online Lala purchase makes sense. Because music services via streaming such as Spotify, are achieving increasing market share and Apple does not want to be left behind.

So far Apple has not disclosed exactly what you want with the acquisition of Lala, but what is clear is that the iTunes model has to evolve and sooner or later incorporated music via streaming between its bid. With the purchase of several exciting technologies are being related to distribution, profitability and music storage online developed by engineers from Lala.

Every time it gets more interesting the music scene via streaming. But still need further study and improve some importance: profitability models. For example Spotify still not generate the revenue needed and according to rumors in the case have been to Lala who knock on the door of Apple to negotiate and forecasts indicated that the benefits soon be available.

The iPod Touch 3G faster than the previous one

The iPod Touch version 3 launched Apple is a new iPod Touch. Even if no physical alteration is visible. It likes the passage of the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 3GS.

Indeed, the internal components have changed. And especially the new generation iPod Touch was announced as twice faster than previous Apple. This is confirmed by a test published by AppleInsider.com site.

We recover the consistency range Apple between the iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3G. Both including more powerful to run 3D games (using Open GL ES 2.0), allowing application developers to have comparable models.

It is clear that the 3/4 games are very well visually, technically. But often the gameplay is very weak.... During a game console on laptop nothing beats real hardware buttons.

The touchscreen works well on games designed for touch instead of adapting games that are made to be played at the pad (sandstorm, gangsta, assassin's creed and etc...)

In addition, since the release of this model, the iPod Touch 3G is more clearly presented by Apple as an alternative to portable game consoles from Sony and Nintendo.

QVC launches apps for iPhone on App Store

If you're a fan of QVC, the company being one of the world's leading multimedia retailers, is launching an application for iPhone and iPod touch on the App Store. the app enables you to waste your money wherever you go. The application is designed to allow users to use the shop QVC anywhere.

Apple Rejecte iDroid App

Swavv Apps Listed on AppStore has been refused its application called iDroid, Which merely show the red eye feature of mobile Motorola and some advertising claims for the phone on Android 2.0.

Whether Verizon has been the sponsor of this adware application, but there is always that Apple has quite logically denied. It is hard Cupertino authorize an application by promoting competition, though Apple could have turned this to his advantage: look at our competitors need to advertise on our support!

Bing in the iPhone

Now Microsoft has high hopes with Bing, and because since very shortly, it seems that this new search engine has managed to glean a few crumbs of hearing. Redmond and offers a development kit to give a new boost to its product, and surprisingly it has a dedicated SDK for the iPhone and iPod touch !

The developer who wants to include Bing in an application can do so easily using the tools provided by Microsoft. The SDK also facilitates the integration engine in Mac software.

However, it has not yet reached the day when Apple will set Bing as the search default for Safari Mobile. Now we believe to be pleased to be able to choose between Google and Yahoo!

BassJump for MacBook

The Apple computers are recognizable with the latest technology in hardware time, ensuring a quality standard for its users that is what has become known worldwide to the corporation of the manzanita.

But often this technology prevents us from using components with higher benefits as a matter of space, as is the case with MacBook whose audio is very good, but being compact and portable computers can not have a Subwoofer to enhance the quality and potency of its grave.

But the solution of the labor Twelve South which presents BassJumpA really good subwoofer which has the peculiar property of being simply connected by USB, so it need not be connected to the power grid to function properly.

This accessory makes the built-in speakers in the MacBook sound even better, adding to the mix and lower midrange with this subwoofer, which is designed as a decorative as well as portable, thanks to its small size but.

By not using more wires to the USB. It saves a lot of room in the workspace. Once the software is only installed Bass Jump plug into USB port to begin to enjoy improved sound quality.

The price is currently $79 and is intended to work with MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

IPhone 3 to be a new iPhone model

There are already rumors floating around the Internet on a new iPhone model to launch next year, some for dates in June.

Apple provided that released new models of its popular mobile phone. And it will be in the best current position as regards hardware and software, making more and more users enjoy the benefits of modern technology. This new model becomes the version 3.1 of the iPhone.

During 2008, something similar had happened with the iPhone 3GS, being detected at least 8 months before launch mass to world market. Thus we can say that this version of the iPhone will come out around June 2010.

Although their characteristics are not known yet, the only thing you can predict is that with the constant harassment that is suffering Apple by Android. The new iPhone will certainly be a revolutionary gadget.

Apple has been looking for software infenieros area of the GPS and maps, so we can assume that this will be one of the strengths of its new mobile phone.

The story of Knocking streaming video app

The Application called "Knocking Live Video" is the first of its kind to offer live broadcasts of the video stream to the iPhone (3GS or 3G) on another iPhone or iPod touch through a notification system by pushing. Presented as a "tweet video" by its developer Brian Meehan, this application uses a private API that lets you capture the video stream to the iPhone. And yet it has received the green light from the AppStore. Apple has been known more fussy about the use of such APIs, normally forbidden ... And that is exactly what happened to Meehan, whose application was once released soon !

But Meehan is not the man to surrender: he was asked about the e-mail from Steve Jobs (he won!) And asked "humbly" to reconsider the case, suspecting that the robots that check the application code have rejected its software before a human being can take it.

The answer came a phone call, the day after sending the email: it was not for Steve Jobs, but an Apple executive who wished to remain anonymous. The green light had been given "Summit" knocking and Live Video Online on the AppStore, three hours later. So swiftly let dreamer, but come Christmas, it has every right to believe in fairy tales!

However, Meehan said that "Apple listened and really took care of developers. Unfortunately, we do not know if all applications using this API are now allowed, or whether this is an exception. In this case, Steve Jobs will continue to receive e-mails.

The FM radio on iPhone 3GS?

The integrated Bluetooth chip in the iPhone 3GS is capable of managing an FM tuner. Apple would develop software to exploit this opportunity. The application may be even recognize the song that is spirited move to offer this for download on iTunes.

An increasing number of users of Safari on PC

Although Safari still has a very small presence in the PC world, the statistics start to change.

With Safari 3.0, Apple had a constant 0.07% of users, but with Safari 3.1 the numbers have risen to 0.21%.

It is clear that Apple has to keep working hard to try to dent Internet Explorer and Firefox, which grows daily dretimento browser in Windows.

I land on the Mac using the latest beta of Firefox 3, but for some pages that have a problem, throw in Safari.

IPhone 2.2 and Google Street View

As we all know, technology is advancing by leaps and bounds and follow it is a task that Apple has decided to do since birth, either in terms of hardware and software, and has been doing steadily, which has earned its reputation .

It is for that reason that the firm has already begun to make the distribution of the beta 2.2 firmware for its iPhone, with several changes and improve upon the version that preceded it, which we had seen several changes, such as spaces separate searches in the address bar in Safari browser interface.

In this new version, continue forward and you can see changes as the expected inclusion in the Google Streetview Maps application that brings the iPhone. But at the same time it is presumed that the SDK supports audio input through a line input or line-in ".

Likewise, bloggers are a bit unhappy because Apple is not included in this version the function to be able to "copy & paste" or copy and paste while using the operating system, while the ability to reproduce and use Flash in Safari.

While Apple is moving in the right direction by adding various improvements and popular applications, users no longer know how to reach the company needs to have in these two aspects as important.

Change the root password on the iPhone, the danger of worms

Charlie Miller, a leading expert in the field of security of Mac

and lately known for discovering the bug for the safety of SMS on

the iPhone, has said that people who have the iPhone with the

Jailbreak done, you should seriously worry from time.

"Miller admitted that the security created by Apple is very

efficient, and it's really hard to get on a phone, but the

Jailbreak has destroyed all these protections, which allows any

user the ability to create worms, as it turned up these last days.

"
For this reason, Miller, announced that in the coming months may

witness a rise in attacks on all iPhones that have performed the

Jailbreak.

So to increase the security of your iPhone is desirable to change

the password (pasword), the iphone is by default, to enter in your

root SSH (root).

For those who want to make the change (I have already done ...),

nothing else has to follow these instructions:

* Install the Mobile Terminal from Cydia through the repository

Telesphoreo Tangelo (of Saurik)
* Open Mobile Terminal and put the following commands:
su root (intro)
alpine (intro)
passwd (intro)

* We will then appear the following:
"Changing password for root"

* We ask you to put the new Pasword, we put ... (intro)
* Now we ask you to repeat, what we throw ... (intro)
* Once we have already made the change password
* We need only remember because if you ever use the Terminal.

Emulate iPod Classic from iPhone or iPod Touch

The multimedia capabilities of Apple products are well recognized as an excellent interaction between devices of the brand, so many software developers spend their days working to create quality applications.

Two of these developers, called Emilio Pelaez and Christian Baroni, in the programming and graphics respectively, are working to give life to iClassic project, which is an emulator for iPod Classic for iPhone and iPod Touch.

This application is also able to index and review of the iPhone music library as a whole, which is what ultimately makes the iPod Classic.

Similarly, developers have reported they are not looking for a way to play video with this same application, so this would only be counting on the ability to play music so far and further notice.

This application that emulates the features of the iPod Classic with its graphical interface would be sent for sale on the App Store and Cydia Store in short time and the modest price of $ 1.99 so we can all enjoy it.

However, it is expected to be a controversy as to whether Apple would not allow such applications, or emulate their products in other devices, but users also have Cydia jailbreak for this type of situation.

Therefore be quite difficult to see in the App Store iClassic in our opinion, but will undoubtedly be one of the most popular iPod applications.

EA Mobile releases 3 games for the Apple iPhone App Store
