Apple [AAPL] recently published its app store submission guidelines that allowed developers to see exactly what the rules are to get an app published in the app store.
We hear that Apple has banned a new app from appearing in the app store. The app is an Android Magazine from a Danish publisher. The app basically covered all things Android. It appears on the surface that Apple didn’t approve. [Read more…]
Reports from Digitimes indicate that Apple [AAPL] is now shipping around 1 million MacBooks per month for this quarter. About 20 – 25% of those sales are believed to be the new MacBook Airs that launched a few weeks ago.
The sources cited IDC’s figures and pointed out that Apple’s combined shipments for the first three quarters of 2010 reached about 6.88 million units, and its global notebook market share rose from 3.7% in the first quarter to 5.2% in the third, while its market share in the US market surged from 6.7% to 12.6%.
The Apple iPad 2 release date is expected to be 1 year from the original iPad release date, making it early April 2011. We continue to hear rumours about what will be included in the iPad 2 such as a second dock connector on the landscape side, a better screen, more RAM, smaller screen etc…
Some features that we expect to see include some kind of Retina Display, perhaps not with that title but at least a screen with a pixel density that matches the current Retina Display. We think the screen size will stay the same. We think one camera (perhaps 2) might be included with the front facing camera specifically being used for FaceTime calls. A 3 axis gyro is also a possibility. Basically, you only need to look at how the iPhone advances and then attach that technology to the iPad… and then extra technology is then attached back to the next gen iPhone and so forth.

Apple [AAPL] is growing at a rapid pace, so much so that Steve Jobs has commented that the Cupertino HQ is bursting at the seams…
“we now occupy 57 buildings in Cupertino and our campus is bursting at the seams. These offices will give us more space for our employees as we continue to grow.”
Black Friday has started in Australia at the Apple store. A number of discounts can be found, a lot of them around the 10% mark on a range of products.
Some of those included are the iMac MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPod nano, iPad and the iPod touch each getting between $25 and $121 AUD knocked off the price. [Read more…]

The Apple iPad 2 could contain a landscape dock connector allowing the iPad to be docked in either portrait or landscape mode and still get the syncing and juice it needs to charge.
This isn’t the first time we have seen this patent. Previously the second dock connector was spotted over in China in September and then Europe in October. Now, the design patent has just been made available in the US which further strengthens the possibility that we’ll be seeing two connectors on the new iPad. [Read more…]
We just received an email showing a couple of iAd adverts showing up over in France on the SunLite App. The last we heard was that there was a December roll out in Europe starting with the UK and France first.
The images are marked with iAd in the bottom right of the screen and appear to be the real deal. What are your thoughts? Is Apple rolling out iAds in France a little early? Lets hope not… no time is probably good for most people. Send us your screen shots if you spot more in France. Larger images below. [Read more…]
