Apple tablet rumors return

f1nbar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:21:32 +0000

Over the past week the apple tablet rumors have crashed with the last new being that it would be released some time in mid October, but now new rumors return stronger than ever before. A post on http://cens.com pretty much confirms these rumors that Taiwanese suppliers will be supplying components for a tablet, these components will start shipping in December.

The tablet PC being shipped will feature a 9.6-inch screen, finger-touch function and built in HSPDA (high speed download packet access) module, and long lasting battery pack, selling for between $799 and $999.

The current rumors, for the release date, are February but a mac event being held on October 13 sounds possible along with my personal prediction mid January, January 13th to be precise.

(Just my random guess)

Simplytweet best iPhone Twitter client?

f1nbar — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:22:33 +0000

Simplytweet is a very simple easy to use Twitter client it has everything you could ever really need, combining simplicity with pure genius and modern iPhone standards. The apps only floor is that you can’t see who your followig and who’s following you but who cares it’s got push notifications!

This app is overall my favorite Twitter client and at just $4.99 it’s an absolute steal. There’s also a lite version for people on the fence but trust me you’ll love it.

Apple are likely to extend the exclusive deal they have with At&t

f1nbar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:36:35 +0000

A report from iSuppli recently stated that they predict that Apple will extend its exclusive deal with AT&T next year. This is prior to the reports which indicate that Apple might add new iPhone carriers in the US within a year, thus ending AT&T’s three year exclusive deal for the iPhone in the US.

China mobile to get the iPhone

f1nbar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 08:05:00 +0000

Two weeks ago Apple signed a ground breaking deal with China Unicom stating that the iPhone would be available in china via china unicom.

But as it is illigal to have a mobile phone exclusive to one network in China, Apple are continuing to disscuss deals with, China’s larger carrier, China Mobile. China Mobile Chairman Wang Jianzhou confirmed that his company is disscussing contracts with Apple over the iPhone.

But if Apple were to have the iPhone available on China Mobile, they would need to modify the iPhone slightly so that China Mobile’s network would function correcly. Alternatively they could just leave the iPhone to run on the much slower 2G.

3.1 is causing crashes on iPhone 3GS’s

f1nbar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:03:06 +0000

Recently we I have had reports that 3.1 is causing iPhone 3GS users to have there apps crash on them along with the official apple apps. When they reboot, the iPhone will just stick with the apple Logo and never turn on.

Come on Apple. Presumebly apple will release 3.1.1 to fix this bug. Well I guess it it just wouldn’t be a true Apple software update without the odd crash.
