There has been a lot of buzz lately over the imminent Apple Tablet. Most of this has been largely speculation or has been based on anonymous sources.
But now we have been hearing from sources that could possibly bring much more credence to all the speculations happening so far.
Augmented reality on iPhones have hitherto been mostly about using your GPS location or live camera feeds to pull related information from other parts of the internet.
However, the true potential for augmented reality apps is even more than just that. Sudoku Grab is an iPhone app that gives an indication of the possibilities.
Late last week, we reported rumors about Apple having rented a stage at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco for an event to be held in the last week of January.
At that time, we speculated if this could be about the Apple Tablet since a few other rumors pointed us in that direction.
With over 125,000 iPhone apps available in the App Store, you happen to miss out on pretty amazing apps quite often.
To help us out in this, Apple introduced the 'Genius' app recommedation tool back in September of this year. While it did make discovery of iPhone app easier, it is still far from perfect.
The legal tussle between Nokia and Apple has been playing for sometime now.
Back in October of this year, Nokia filed a lawsuit alleging that Apple violated ten of Nokia's patents relating to GSM, UMTS and Wireless LAN standards. Apple retorted earlier this month by claiming that it was actually Nokia that was infringing on Apple's patents – 13 of them.
It is official now. The Nexus One is coming. Google has announced that it is holding an "Android Press Gathering" on January 5.
While the invitation sent to a select few does not carry any mention about the imminent Nexus One smartphone, other sources have confirmed that this event is indeed all about the launch of the device.
It's the same old story – An explosion in the usage of smartphones, especially the iPhone is causing clogged networks and have been largely responsible for subscribers' woes in connecting calls or downloading data.
While this may sound all too familiar, the only twist is that it is not AT&T this time, but UK Carrier O2.
Early last month, there were rumors about AT&T launching an 8GB iPhone 3GS model at $99 for the Christmas season in order to effectively tackle the competition from Droid.
While the launch never happened, the rumor doesn't seem to be completely false either.
If there is one thing that this year's holiday season has emphatically proved, it is the coming of age of shopping via mobile phones.
Following yesterday's news about App Store downloads reaching record levels this Christmas, eBay too is reporting a very good season.
Thanks to the over 6 million iPhone users who had downloaded the eBay iPhone app, the company today announced a record number of transactions over mobile phones this season.
A simple Mac-Roman encoded character in one of the packages file distributed via Cydia yesterday (December 28) caused a persistent crashing problem.
The problem was with macciti/zodttd's source though the actual reason for the crash is believed to be Cydia's problem with decoding the characters.
