Although all has been quiet on the App Store bans front recently, it seems that the most recent victim has just become a magazine that specializes in all things Android being left outside the walled garden.
It’s never too soon to start speculating on the particulars of Apple’s next-generation smartphone. That said, Cupertino’s got thin, the camera, display — Retina rocks — and battery well covered. Is the iPhone 4 too perfect to change?
What’s all of this then? A useless “playlist” feature for the written word or a much needed organizational tool for folks with more books than memory capacity? Perhaps a little bit of both, but this feature is said to be definitely on the way.
After carrying around a cell phone for 18 years and after having looked at what seems like a million of the things, it’s time to peer at how my iOS4.2 iPhone 4 stacks up to all that came before it.
Once upon a time, like about a year ago, Canadian smartphone maker Research in Motion seemed unassailable with a double-digit market share lead over both Apple and Google. However, over the last year, market share isn’t the only thing the Blackberry maker has been bleeding.
It is not exactly intuitive to expect another iOS4 update from Apple almost immediately on the heels of the update to iOS4.2, but we may get one. The reason is not only news, the reason actually is the news.
And, there was much rejoicing! Bug fixes, feature tweaks and AirPrint for the iPhone and iPod touch. Then there is a whole bunch o’ multitasking, folder, Game Center and other goodnesses for iPad users — come inside for the skinny on what’s new.
One big benefit of the new update to iOS 4.2, and one that people were not expecting, is that the ‘Find My iPhone’ program is now a standard part of the iPhone software at no additional charge.
If you use data by the thimbleful, then this could be the widget you’ve been waiting for. Just plug in your iPhone with active AT&T tethering account and you’re good to go, or use a jailbroken if you plan on getting your data on the down low.
There’s been a constant back and forth on the question whether Apple or AT&T got the better part of the deal in the first three-plus exclusive years of the iPhone in America? As competition mounts and the data deepens it’s increasingly that the mothership is leaving serious money by sticking solely with Ma Bell.
