Apple’s iTunes Ping, the company’s social network for music, was supposed to arrive with Facebook integration baked. In fact, non-public betas clearly had integration, but the final product arrived with it. Although it is still early days, another non-public beta, this still time iOS, shows that Facebook integration is making a comeback. Is this the real deal?
When I was at a Verizon Wireless Store last week, several long faces told me employees weren’t yet allowed to purchase the iPhone 4 — more the merrier for customers. Their Apple Store counterparts, however, aren’t being denied and the details show there are savings to be had.
The tech world has been going bananas over the last seven months trying to find a white iPhone 4 somewhere, or at least to figure out why there are no white iPhone 4s anywhere in captivity.
Back when I lived in Taiwan, everything from lotto numbers to the date we moved house and the hour my wife delivered by C-section to the day we left to come here was determined by an astrologer or soothsayer of some kind — c’est la vie, qui est le bon mariage! Who would’ve thunk Apple would go in for such numerological determinism?
The rumors have flown for years, saying the Verizon iPhone is just around the corner. However, until Apple and Verizon announce that a Verizon iPhone is officially in the offing, we may all be premature.
The seemingly credible rumors to date have been almost categorical that the release of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) + CDMA compatible iPhone isn’t in the cards for 2011. Nevertheless, rumors of just such a device persist.
Why would the mothership develop and market an iPhone compatible with last-century, dead-end CDMA technology? Well, there are actually about 550-million reasons worldwide and it seems not a few of them live in South Asia.
Quite naturally, all of the spokesmen for the people who actually know have declined to comment. Yes, it’s another week and yet another spin of the Verizon iPhone story. Can you say, “Rumor fatigue”?
Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em, boys! Some of the earliest implementers of Apple’s in-app advertising platform, iAds, are reporting stellar results with at least one dev saying he earned more than fourteen-hundred on the first day. However, the good times may not last
Rumors about the iPhone on Verizon have gained a focus and that’s January of next year, though no one that could be cornered and questioned has stepped forward to confirm or disavow the story. Given all of the pain AT&T’s experienced, if there is to be a vPhone, Verizon’s going to test the bejesus out of it, so perhaps one of those mobile web metrics companies will provide us with the verification we all crave.
