Rumor: AppleTV Renamed iTV, Will Have Apps but No 1080p Playback video

According to an Engadget basis—the same one that said the next AppleTV would be a $99 unit with iPhone guts—Apple's next TV device will be rebranded iTV. And it will have apps, but it won't play 1080p video.
That final bit has apparently been a point of contention for Apple, but apparently the new unit's internals—reportedly an A4 CPU and 16GB of flash storage, can't quite handle 1080p or 1080i playback. The basis says that the iTV will bring apps to televisions, though there's still no information on how that will work, or if it will be able to run apps designed for the iPad or iPhone.
While the idea of apps on the TV seems like a grand get through in (d)evolution of the Couch Potato, it'd certainly be a bummer if Apple's new push into the living room couldn't play our biggest and best files. And I still want amazing like this.

iPhone 4 jailbreak enables FaceTime video calling more 3G

We had really already hacked up a 3G FaceTime video call using an iPhone 4 and a MiFi, but now that Apple's newest handset has been jailbroken, you can toss the extra hardware, you just need a little Cydia app called My3G, which lets you run WiFi apps over 3G. FaceTime video quality appears to be unchanged, but from what we have seen the framerates experience depending on your connection attractive much what you'd expect to get when running a video flow optimized for high-bandwidth connections on a smaller pipe. Still, it is right away the best reason to jailbreak your phone check a video after the break. See the below video:

New iMacs Core i3 review

There is nothing externally different about the new iMacs Apple just released last Tuesday, but the hardware beneath that familiar aluminum chassis has gotten faster -- particularly on the low end, where a new 3.06GHz Intel Core i3 processor and separate ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics chip have in use over for the previous gen's 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo and included NVIDIA GeForce 9400m. That's a big boost Apple claim the new version is some 50 percent faster -- and so we really turned down the hot-rod 27-inch 2.93GHz Core i7 iMac in favor of a stock $1,199 21.5-inch Core i3 when it came time to pick up a review unit. We required to see just how much bang Apple's delivering for the entry-level buck, and we weren't frustrated when the tests came back.

All eyes on RIM in smartphone face-off

Analysts say, Tuesday’s announcement is critical for company’s long-term achievement.

 

 

Tuesday is the day for Research in Motion – as in “do or die” day – say technology analysts, who consider the Waterloo, Ont.-based BlackBerry maker needs to fight back against lost smartphone market share to Apple and Google. While detail are scarce, RIM and U.S. carrier AT and T have called a news conference in New York City for Tuesday. It’s believed they will unveil the long-rumoured BlackBerry Bold 9800, their first “slider-style” smartphone that not only has a touchscreen but a glide-out QWERTY keyboard for messaging.

According to MobileCity Online, a web store that is already taking preorders for the smartphone, the Bold 9800 will feature a 3.2-inch HVGA display, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of onboard storage, A-GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11n and a camera/camcorder. Cyberspace is also abuzz about the opportunity of RIM unveiling an iPad-like tablet that would run on its BlackBerry 6 OS, as well. In fact, the company has already registered the domain name called blackpad.com.

RIM is also expected to show off App World 2.0, a redesigned online store with enhanced navigation and additional bells and whistles. Levy said Apple and Google’s Android platform are “gaining fast,” with mutual operating systems that account for almost half of all smartphones sold in Canada and the U.S.

RIM’s share of the smartphone market cut down from 55 per cent in early 2009 to roughly 41 per cent in the first quarter of 2010, according to leading technology market research firm Gartner Inc. By comparison, the BlackBerry App World has only about 7,000 apps – plus, they’re usually more expensive than the iPhone and Android contributions, and more difficult to sift through.

Levy said Tuesday’s declaration is “critical.”

He said, “It’s difficult to understate just how critical this launch is to the very survival of the company”.

Apple Helps Police Track Stolen iPhone Fast

iPhone 4G got troubles from a Mathematical Erroneous formula

iPhone 4G is again set in the first page. Some consumers complained about poor signal quality of the iPhone 4G. Apple has come to step out of the analysis against the signal problems of new mobile iPhone 4G and, on this time, pointed out that the low coverage is due to “an erroneous formula” useful to signal strength. In a statement of the company says the apple he was “amazed” by this discovery, which will attempt to resolve through the recommendations of the U.S. Telecommunications Company AT & T.

Our formula, in many cases, it incorrectly shows two bars of power more than they should for a existing signal of iPhone 4G. For example, occasionally shows four bars when it should display only two, says Apple. Conversely, the company said that if users are not ‘fully satisfied’ with the new iPhone 4G device, they can return the damaged iPhone 4 at any Apple store, also in the on-line, and recover the payment if within 30 days after purchase.

A large number of users have previously reported two weeks ago to hold the iPhone 4G with his hand and seal the base left corner moved out coverage at times and was unable to receive phone calls. The supposed solution for iPhone 4G antenna problem was projected by the Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs, just hold it differently or buy a case. These statements motivated the response of a Club of lefties in the UK, expressed his disagreement with the policies of the company’s iPhone 4G.

Interestingly as Apple said, the announcement, these coverage problems also occur in earlier versions of the terminal: iPhone 1.0, 3G and 3G and now iPhone 4G, though it was not pending the arrival of this fourth manifestation of the terminal.

Comparison of Motorola Droid X vs iPhone 4

The newly released iPhone 4 is having some troubles in the press at the moment and may face some resistance from the new Droid X. If Apple do not resolve these iPhone 4 problems, unsure likely customers may move over to Motorola’s new Droid X as their communication device of option. There are some similarities and differences to think. This includes the operating system iOS 4.0 from Apple and the alternating Android 2.1, complete with Moto blur from Motorola. Apple’s iOS4 is a proprietary operating system, and only allows software that is first accepted by Apple, and made available from Apple’s online store. In the meantime, however, Android is an open source platform, and allows developers to freely develop new software and plug-ins for the operating system.
The memory from the iPhone is 512MB in the Droid X. The iPhone 4 weights 4.8 ounces, while the Droid X is 5.4 ounces.The iPhone keyboard is onscreen. The Droid X also utilize an onscreen keyboard, but also takes gain of SWYPE technology. Mostly, SWYPE allow users to drag their finger across the screen, touching all of the letters that fit in in a particular word, without lifting their finger. This device then automatically detects the word that the user was “swyping.”
On-board storage has iPhone as an easy winner with a choice of either 16GB or 32GB, even as its rival only offers one option of 8GB. The Droid X, though, comes with a 16GB MicroSD card built-in, bumping its default storage capacity to 24GB. Storage hungry users can also upgrade the microSD card, making the DroidX capable of conduct more overall data storage than the iPhone4.
Screen size gives the iPhone 3.5 inches, and 4.3 inches from the Droid, clearly making the Droid X a better choice for users that need lots of screen real estate. The Screen resolution, however, is far better from the iPhone 4 with 640 x 960 pixels, compared to 480 x 854 pixels. Compare to cameras, the iPhone 4 offers a 5MP camera with LED flash, at the same time Droid X offers an 8MP camera with a dual LED flash. The iPhone 4 offers a touch-to-focus feature, while the Droid X repeatedly focuses on human faces.Both phones have inspiring specs and features. but, the iPhone 4’s recent trouble is it will be interesting to see how many consumers opt for the Droid X vs the iPhone 4.

The San Diego store marks Microsoft’s fourth venture into the retail space and opens later this morning at 10 a.m. PST.The Microsoft Store is just yards out from the Apple Store.

The first 1,000 people having “VIP treatment” for Saturday’s show.Microsoft Store workers are also raffling off electronic devices like the Microsoft Zune, the new Flip camera, miscellaneous laptops and gadgets, and giving away gift cards.

I stopped to take photos and videos to the store opening of the crowd, as well as capture the Apple versus Microsoft commotion. It doesn’t hurt the Microsoft staffs are using megaphones to go down out the noise from a few doors down.In the video below I spoke with Nicole Barnhart, over my iPhone 4 has been in the Microsoft Store line since 12:00 a.m. PST. She said me that she was approximately the 50th person in line and that the majority of the crowd is waiting to get their hands on the Demi Lovato tickets.
