Apple said months ago that it was coming soon, iPhone users still want it in a big way, and AT&T is dragging their feet whenever someone mentions it. Just what is “it?” Tethering for the iPhone, of course.
If you’re an Adobe partisan, this nearly 15 minute interview with Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen will sound agreeable and intelligent. If you’re a Mac OS or iPhone OS device user, it sounds like a lot of the same old promises and jargon.
It was an alter boy, an alter boy did it! The 21-year-old who took a $5,000 payment from Gizmodo in exchange for a super secret iPhone prototype he didn’t have the right to sell has come forward, saying that he regrets his actions.
In a wide ranging dissertation that further minimizes the importance of the Mac, Steve Jobs holds forth on the reasons Adobe’s Flash fails across the board in the mobile, touch-based future Apple has planned for the world.
The Apple vs. Gizmodo squabble over a prototype iPhone has moved firmly into territory governed by the law, and the larger social issues surrounding the events have begun to come to center stage.
An interesting new twist in the story of the fourth generation iPhone prototype that was sold to Gizmodo for $5,000. It seems representatives of Apple tried to pay the guy a visit, though were stymied by a roommate at the door.
Unnamed law enforcement sources have indicated that the probe into the events surrounding the finding by a still unnamed individual and then sale of an iPhone prototype to Gizmodo will likely widen. To date, the blog editor at the heart of the matter has seen his home searched and property seized.
Even if no charges are eventually filed, an impact has already been made as investigators look for materials that may have been “used as a means of committing a felony.” Thereupon, authorities have seized a number of computers, hard drives and an iPhone as evidence, though the editor is still free.
Even though they own the iPhone franchise in the United States at the moment, AT&T Wireless is not doing well at signing up new customers to the rolls, having fallen to a six-year low last quarter.
And, just as quickly, they up and vanish like a flatulent emanation in the wind. Then again, there are a few things about these so-called prototypes that make me think they are somewhat less than fully kosher.
