If you’re out and about with your iPhone, it’s now one heckuva lot easier to get serious work. Granted, you probably won’t be creating massive spreadsheets with complex calculations, but data entry and tweaking are certainly within the realm of possibility. Ditto that for word-processing and presentations.
Generally, the week before a major event is filled with wild speculation and rumors. Apple has, however, taken the lion’s share of topics off the table by confirming big Mac OS X, iOS and cloud services updates will be introduced or rolled out at this year’s San Francisco developer gathering.
When the original iPhone shipped back in 2007, the Maps app was pretty good. Now, however, it’s just old and, to an increasing degree, embarrassing. How can the iPhone, which is arguably the best smartphone available, not have an at least passable, turn-by-turn map app?
A year without a new iPhone is a lot like that year never happened — as if time itself had been sucked into that black hole. Well, folks just relax because 2011 won’t be a total loss, or so goes the latest rumorological spin drifting in from overseas.
For folks that don’t own this particular model or have one but are ready to upgrade, this is just a rumor. A likely vocal subset of iPhone 3GS owners will receive the news as just the latest evidence that Apple doesn’t care.
Apple’s iOS App Store is approaching its third birthday. It wasn’t the first digital only marketplace, but it is by far the largest with over 10 billion downloads and more than 150 million user credit cards on file. Now, although they aren’t crowing, Cupertino can add a new milestone accomplishment.
It took Apple 10 days to respond and, though there was little doubt what they’d say, suspense hung in the air until the words were said. Now, as we wait for Lodsys to make its next move, perhaps now’s a good time to reconsider software patents.
When was the last time the Electronic Frontier Foundation had positive words of encouragement for Apple? Well, maybe never until today — surely, when Apple and the EFF travel in the same cart, the whirlwind follows.
Never mind all of those loose lips in Apple’s Asian supply chain dripping secrets. As mineable veins of information go, wireless telecom executives have proven to be a rich perhaps inexhaustible lode. The latest leak, though significant, is however confirmation of something we already knew.
An iPhone rumor crumb trail that had previously vanished in a cloud of pecking birds has reappeared courtesy of an absolutely impeccable source. Perhaps wireless carrier competition in the U.S. isn’t a lost cause after all?
