Apple’s Small Problem: iOS 4 And iPhone 4 One-Up The iPad
Posted on June 22, 2010 | No Comments
The tech world is buzzing about iOS 4, the latest version of the iPhone operating system that Apple released today. And rightly so -- it's an improvement over the previous version in every way. In fact, once you've been using it for a while, it's hard to go back to using iPhone OS 3.x. And there's an unfortunate casualty there: the iPad.
I've been using developer builds of iOS 4 (then called iPhone OS 4) for weeks now. I've grown very used to using things such as the new app switcher and folders. In fact, I've grown so used to using them that when I switch back over to the iPad now (running iPhone OS 3.2), I can't help but feel that it in some ways seems antiquated. Yes, I know that's ridiculous for a device that's not even three months old yet. But the feeling lingers.

Foxconn offers 66% raise after suicide pressure
Posted on June 7, 2010 | No CommentsFoxconn employees, with the help of Apple, will receive a 66 percent raise. The increase will raise the average salary from $132 a month to about $292, an impressive number. There is a required performance review period for three months before the raises will be doled out. Id’ be curious to know if these workers also [...] -
Android’s daily shipment rate jumps up to 65,000 per day

The Motorola Shadow is still alive, gets its WiFi certification
Posted on April 30, 2010 | No CommentsSurpriiiise! After three months of radio silence, the Motorola Shadow — a phone that, according to the shakiest rumors in all of Rumorville, might be the Google Nexus Two — is still alive. At least, a phone that could be the Motorola Shadow is alive. It’s all a bit confusing; you see, a few days ago, [...] -
Conan gets a show on TBS
Posted on April 12, 2010 | No CommentsI should probably mention that Conan O'Brien has a show on TBS now. I know it's not necessarily related to the latest graphics card, or to the kin 1 or kin 2, but we did spend an awful lot of time talking about the whole "I'm With Coco" movement. Sure would be silly to leave the story hanging, right?

Google: Android Market now serving 30,000 apps
Posted on March 16, 2010 | No Comments
At the most recent Mobile World Congress, Google CEO Eric Schmidt revealed that the company's partners are now selling over 60,000 Android handsets on a daily basis. With that kind of growth rate, it's no wonder that the size of the Android Market is quickly increasing in its slipstream.
While Google doesn't publicly show how many applications there are in Android Market, a Google representative this morning informed me that the application store now serves approximately 30,000 free and paid apps in total.

Why No iPhone Updates? The Tablet, Perhaps.
Posted on January 13, 2010 | No Comments
It’s been over three months since Apple last updated the iPhone OS to version 3.1.2. And while that’s not an unheard of amount of time between updates, it is quite a bit of time to go without even word that a new update is coming soon. Why? It could be because Apple doesn’t want to tip its hand about any information about the upcoming tablet, a new report today suggests.
“There hasn’t been an updated iPhone OS build because there’s too much tablet-related code/references in the OS and Apple obviously didn’t want that to leak. Oops,” is what Boy Genius Report says it is hearing
from an Apple source it trusts. That news comes with a few other bits, including that the tablet’s multi-touch gestures are “out of control,” that it’s powered by an ARM processor, that it (obviously with the above information) runs on the iPhone kernel, and that it’s basically an “iPhone on steroids.” -
Shock study: Wii Fit alone won’t get you into shape (nor is it supposed to, by the way)
Posted on December 17, 2009 | No CommentsShocking study coming out of the University of Minnesota that says Wii Fit won't get you into shape, despite what you may think. Well, to be specific, the study says the game won't produce “significant changes in daily physical activity, muscular fitness, flexibility, balance or body composition.”

The end of exclusivity leading to big iPhone sales in Europe
Posted on November 23, 2009 | No Comments
Go figure, right? You get a relatively hot phone out onto more carriers, and just like that, sales increase. It ain't rocket science, buster. As AT&T grins happily while enjoying a death grip on Apple's cash cow here in the States, things are a lot more wide open for consumers across the pond. In both France and the UK, the iPhone has been given the all-clear to be sold on multiple carriers, and according to research from Bernstein, the "widening of the distribution has boosted Apple's value market share to 32 percent in the latest quarter from 21 percent just three months earlier." The notes also mention that Apple's increase is coming at the expense of RIM, with over 600,000 iPhone handsets being sold during Q3 2009 in France alone. The point to all this madness? Oh, not much -- just to tell Sir Jobs that he can count on quite a bit more dough should he decide to sell this elusive "iPhone" device on Verizon in the US of A.The end of exclusivity leading to big iPhone sales in Europe originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:21:00 EST.

Dutch court orders, again, TPB to delete torrents, block Dutch users
Posted on October 23, 2009 | No CommentsMore news about The Pirate Bay to bore you all! (Seriously, it's not like people are still talking about the old Suprnova or Torrentspy anymore, yet the TPB has stuck around.) Some time ago, a Dutch court ordered TPB to delete a number of torrents and block Dutch IP addresses from being able to visit the site. Using a sledgehammer on a thumbtack, yes. Then TPB protested, as it does all the time, saying that it had no idea about the court case to begin with, so it couldn't make a proper defense, etc. The Dutch court agreed to give TPB a a little bit of time to work out its issues, and has now reached another, similar verdict: remove the torrents, and block Dutch IP addresses. Fun all around, really.

T-Mobile’s Project Dark includes option for buying phones in monthly installments?
Posted on October 18, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: T-Mobile
Still no confirmation on any all-you-can-eat data plans, but Boy Genius Report has some convincing screens that seem to reveal some other precepts of T-Mobile's enigmatic (and purportedly company-saving) Project Dark. Two new plans have emerged, Even More and Even More Plus. The former is the traditional two-year contract, along with options to do data only and get a subsidized phone. Even More Plus doesn't require a contract, going month-to-monthly instead, and subsequently the phone is full price. However, what's gonna be interesting to see is the FlexPay option, which allows you to pay for a device in monthly installments instead of upfront, a plan we've seen before in markets like Germany and Japan. In the example above, a $400 G1 on the non-contractual Even More Plus plan is divvied out to an initial $170 payment and 19 subsequent installments of $12.10, or $33.33 over three months after the related upfront cost. It's no game-changer on its own, but it's certainly an intriguing prospect that's gonna make some (initially) cash-strapped individuals very happy to be able to walk out with a decent Android device.

The TomTom XL 340S LIVE uses AT&T to deliver Google data
Posted on September 28, 2009 | No Comments
The one major draw of having GPS navigation software on your smartphone is that the phone is probably connected to a network that can give more info than just directions, but the screen is just so damn small. TomTom knows this and just launched its second Internet-connected GPS device, the 4.3-inch XL 340S LIVE. This guy uses AT&T as its data provider and can update the users on a whole range of info: fuel prices, weather, traffic levels, traffic incidents, and more. But there's a small catch.

Usenet deals abound for Verizon customers: Giganews, NewsDemon
Posted on September 2, 2009 | No CommentsCome September 30, Verizon will completely drop Usenet access. (It had already been limiting access for some time now.) To that end, a number of Usenet providers, including Giganews and Newsdemon, have special deals set up for Verizon users to make the hurting stop.
