If you can't wait to get your hands on one, well you'll have to wait until next month, but it will cost you $70 for the 4GB and $80 for the 8GB version once available at Sony Style.

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.

Motorola Glam makes Android 2.1, plenty of ritz to South Korea

Yes, it may look like the Dell Aero when peeking it head-on, but Motorola's Glam is appropriate to be far more complicated that the self-proclaimed "world's lightest Android phone." Launched today over in South Korea, this Android 2.1-based handset (which we toyed with previous in the year when it was known as the XT800) boasts a 3.7-inch capacitive multitouch panel (854 x 480), dual LED flash, a 5 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB 2.0 connectivity, an HDMI socket, 1GB of NAND Flash, 512MB of SDRAM, an 8GB microSD card, inbuilt GPS and maintain for a multitude of multimedia formats. Mum's the word on a price, but it be supposed to be shuffling over to SK Telecom -- high heels and all -- by the end of August.

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”.

Nokia Kinetic model exposed in prototype form

Impressed by Jeremy Innes-Hopkins Nokia Kinetic idea the other day? Then take a high-quality look at the image above. This is the actual prototype of the device, which unfortunately doesn't power on (or have anything to power on), but it look extraordinarily like the previous renders we have seen, and gives us a far better idea of the scale of the device. In case you missed it, the real clip of the concept is an electromagnet in the phone's base that allows it to stand up on reminder, and be flipped down to release an action, like an alarm or a video call. We also know that now Innes-Hopkins worked on the project at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London under the guidance of former Nokia Senior Designer Silas Grant, who was responsible for many of Nokia's first-class phones like the 8800 Scirocco. Beat up the gallery below for a closer look.

Update: Just to be real clear. This is not an actual Nokia theory, but a project completed by Innes-Hopkins for his final year at university -- so don't get your hopes up about it ever going into manufacture.

Apple get an Online Mapping Company

Apple owns an online mapping company called Poly9 almost without anyone knowing it. Poly9 offered a 3D globe that companies could put on their websites for a fee. Even though the Poly9 globe can be seen on customer’s websites, the service has been discontinued.

Similar to Google Earth, the Poly9 globe was built on JavaScript and that means the technology might be compatible with Apple’s recent evangelism of HTML5. Right now, there isn’t any confirmation from either Apple or Poly9, but the website has been unchanged, as well as, the Twitter feed, some are saying that is sign enough there have been changes.

Other sources are saying the main offices have been closed and just about every single employee has moved to California’s Silicon Valley, where Apple is located. This is actually the second purchase by Apple, of a geo-technology site. Last year Apple purchased Place base, which is also an online mapping service.

Picking up a couple of these sites will no doubt give Apple a boost against Google and Microsoft, who have been making their own investments in mapping and location based services. Apple has also been ramping up its data center capacity so they can offer more robust online services and web applications.

Methods to Install Flash on your jailbroken iPad

We just saw Flash 10.1 ported to the iPad established in video form by Comex, and now you can get in on the action too, as long as your iPad is jailbroken. It is called Flash, and while the plugin is still pretty early and does not do video playback yet, you can absolutely play games and other animations right now, and we're told video support is forthcoming. Full instruction we are provided:

1. First Confirm your iPad is jailbroken. It is pretty easy, just run Spirit and you are done.

2. Download Flash.deb and keep it close.

3. Choose how you are going to get files onto your iPad. For Mac users, it is dead simple -- just install Netatalk, which will manually pop up your iPad in the Finder's Sharing list. But Windows users can try out this guide at iClarified to get OpenSSH installed and running and use WinSCP -- it's just as easy.

4. Once you have got access to the iPad's filesystem, navigate to /var/root/Media as shown here:

5. Previously there, open Media and create a folder called "Cydia."

6. Then Open the new Cydia folder and create another new folder called "Auto Install"

7. Upload Flash to that new folder.

8. Restart your iPad a couple of times.

9. You are set! Now just navigate to a page in Safari with non-video Flash content and knock the F logo to play it.

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.

iPad burst out past Android in usage share

According to the data collected by web metrics firm Net Applications, the iPad OS has bursted past Android in conditions of usage share in three months. The Collected data’s are,

• March 2010: Android: 0.07% | iPad: 0.00%

• April 2010: Android: 0.09% | iPad: 0.03%

• May 2010: Android: 0.11% | iPad: 0.09%

• June 2010: Android: 0.14% | iPad: 0.17%

Consider, this is a usage share, not market share, and since the Android platform has hugely outsold the iPad, this is a suggestion of how much browsing iPad owners do. As an iPad owner myself, I can give evidence to just how easy it is to while away the hours browsing on the thing.
