Most waterproof cases for the iPhone add a huge amount of bulk to the device, but a new cover named “Case Marine” from Gooma gives your device the ability to resist water by adding a thickness of merely one fourth of a millimeter.
The case is made out of polyurethane with an acrylic cover for the display. The touchscreen responds to touches even with the cover on, although the headphone jack and the 30 pin connector are blocked.
While it is important to enter a passcode on your iPhone, it can get a little annoying especially when you’re at home, where you really don’t want to be prompted to enter the passcode, especially if you’ve selected the longer alphanumeric passcode.
Over the past few months, phone manufacturers and carriers have been working with standard governing bodies to draft the design of the Nano-SIM card, the successor to the currently used micro-SIM cards in iPhones and iPads.
During the designing process, there was a stand off amongst Apple and a joint group of Nokia, Motorola and RIM over the design of the SIM. Apple even offered to license the patents involved in its design royalty free to reduce the opposition to the design.

Chatter about an iPhone with a larger screen has been going on since the pre-iPhone 4S days, but this time around these claims have been backed by reliable sources like The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and John Gruber.
Apple has always held pride in the fact that iOS is easy to develop for, and that it isn’t fragmented like Android. Even when it upgraded to Retina displays, it made sure that the number of pixels in the new screens were a whole number multiple of the previous screen resolution.
According to a patent published yesterday by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, Apple is looking to improve the performance of the speakerphones for iOS devices.
The patent reveals that Apple may change the position of the speakerphones (which are currently at the bottom, next to the dock connector) to improve its performance, even when the iPhone or iPad is docked.
Some good news for iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3G users. Few days back, pod2g had said that his untethered jailbreak did not work with iPod touch 3G on iOS 5.1.1 and hence also may not work with iPhone 3GS.
But he has just tweeted that they’ve figured out a way to jailbreak iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3G as well.
It is widely speculated that Apple’s next generation iPhone will come with a larger 4-inch screen.
However, it is not clear if the 4-inch screen will be bigger in both height and width or it will come with a taller screen, to reduce the effort required by developers to update their apps for the new screen resolution.
It looks like the embargo has been lifted. Bloomberg is the third publication after Wall Street Journal and Reuters to confirm that Apple’s next generation iPhone will feature a larger screen.
Bloomberg also reports that according to their source, Steve Jobs had worked closely on the redesigned next generation iPhone with a larger screen.
