May 17, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Digitimes is reporting today that Foxconn will be shipping 24 million Apple iPhone 4G units this year. 4.5 million units will be shipping in the first half and that will be followed by 19.5 million units in the final half of 2010. Apple [AAPL] is planning on the 4G being a huge success.

Foxconn will ship 4.5 million units in the first half and 19.5 million units for the rest of 2010. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 4G on June 7, 2010 during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference.

We also hear that the iPhone 4G will use an IPS (in plane switching) screen just like the technology used in the Apple iPad. As well as using IPS the screens will also use FFS (fringe-field switching). The resolution of the iPhone 4G screen will be 960 x 640 which is significantly higher than the iPhone 3GS that has a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels. [Read more…]

Apple MacBook Leaked – New Model Could Arrive this Week

May 17, 2010 by Leave a Comment

The Vietnamese website Tinhte seems to be the source of Apple [AAPL] leaks this past week. Just last week they managed to get hold of an Apple iPhone 4G and now this week, they seem to have their hands on a new Apple MacBook.

The new Apple MacBook will more than likely have a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, run an NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics card that has 256MB RAM and be more in line with the MacBook Pro (13.3 inch model).

Some rumours around the internet indicate that the next gen Apple MacBook could go on sale as early as tomorrow, or perhaps sometime this week. [Read more…]

Apple iPad 3G Roaming Costs to Drop with MAXRoam microSIM

May 14, 2010 by Leave a Comment

When taking any mobile phone or 3G connected device abroad, the roaming costs can get very scary, very quickly. Bills in to the hundreds of pounds can be stacked up with in a few days if you’re not careful.

This will be also true for the Apple iPad 3G if you intend to take it abroad and use the 3G services with your own microSIM card then you might be in for a shock.

A company called MAXRoam are now offering a microSIM that can be used across Europe where they are offering 50MB of data for ‚¬75. When you pay ‚¬75 for the microSIM you get 50MB free to use anywhere in Europe and once the data is used you just need to pay ‚¬75 more for another 50 megabytes. The Vodafone website says 50MB of data is good for about 4 hours of browsing, but doesn’t include streaming and downloading large files for example. [Read more…]

Apple iPhone 4G running iPhone OS 4.0 is Photoshopped

May 13, 2010 by 3 Comments

We posted earlier today about an Apple iPhone 4G (leaked phone) that was running what appeared to be iPhone OS 4.0. After some people did some investigating they believe that the OS 4.0 overlay is now fake and photoshopped on to the original picture.

Reasons for believing this to be the case is for a couple of things. The first is the left edge of the screen appearing to be too close to the edge making a smaller bezel than actually exists.

Also there is a grey strip that runs on the right side at the top of the screen. According to those in the know, this strip should continue all the way across the top of the screen to the left side of the device. [Read more…]

Apple iPhone 4G Spotted the Third Time

May 13, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Well, we have another few images of the Apple iPhone 4G that appear to have come from a third leak. Previous leaks included the Gizmodo leak last month and the Vietnamese leak a couple of days ago.

This model is also a 16GB model and like the Vietnamese model, lacks the screws either side of the 30 pin dock connector. The Gizmodo phone was believed to be an older prototype as it still contained the screws just like the iPhone 3G and 3GS have.

Not much information has been provided about this particular leak, and perhaps we are looking at the same iPhone 4G that was photographed in Vietnam this week. [Read more…]

Adobe Attack Apple with New Ads

May 13, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Adobe and Apple [AAPL] have been in the news a fair bit recently with this Flash business. They still seem to be feeling the pains as they just started up a new campaign over on Engadget where two ads are showing. The first says “We [heart] Apple” and the second ad says “What we don’t love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web”.

As well as pushing the ads on to Engadget, a letter has also been written by Adobe saying what they feel about the situation…

We believe that consumers should be able to freely access their favorite content and applications, regardless of what computer they have, what browser they like, or what device suits their needs. No company – no matter how big or how creative – should dictate what you can create, how you create it, or what you can experience on the web.

When markets are open, anyone with a great idea has a chance to drive innovation and find new customers. Adobe’s business philosophy is based on a premise that, in an open market, the best products will win in the end – and the best way to compete is to create the best technology and innovate faster than your competitors.

We believe that Apple, by taking the opposite approach, has taken a step that could undermine this next chapter of the web – the chapter in which mobile devices outnumber computers, any individual can be a publisher, and content is accessed anywhere and at any time.

In the end, we believe the question is really this: Who controls the World Wide Web? And we believe the answer is: nobody – and everybody, but certainly not a single company.

Comcast Xfinity Remote Apple iPad App Demoed

May 13, 2010 by 1 Comment

Comcast has created a new Apple iPad app that allows your iPad to interface with your cable box. The application gives a complete run-down of what’s on TV now and what is coming up soon. The software interfaces with the TV box allowing you to use the iPad as a giant remote control and channel guide.

Also the Xfinity Remote app allows you to search on-demand content where an in-depth review of each program is displayed on screen. Once you find the title you want to watch, just tap on the iPad screen to launch it on your TV. [Read more…]

Apple iPhone 4G Could launch June 21

May 12, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Apple [AAPL] is more than likely going to announce the Apple iPhone 4G early next month. We are currently hearing that AT&T [T] are making changes to customer upgrades bringing the eligibility dates from November 21 2010 over to June 21 2010 knocking 5 months off the contract terms.

This is causing speculation that AT&T are going to allow customers of the iPhone 3GS to upgrade to the iPhone 4G on June 21.

Last year caused a number of headaches for AT&T with customers complaining that they couldn’t upgrade to the 3GS from the 3G unless buying themselves out of the contract they had signed. It seems like AT&T are backing down here by allowing 3GS users to upgrade to the latest iPhone. [Read more…]

Apple iPad UK Pre-Orders now Shipping June 7

May 12, 2010 by 1 Comment

If you were hoping to have Apple [AAPL] deliver your iPad in the UK on the launch date of May 28 then you have already left pre-ordering too late as the new shipping date for pre-orders has just been changed to June 7 for all models.

It isn’t clear exactly why the date has changed, but it is either because the UK was allocated a little amount of stock, or that the UK all love the iPad and have pre-ordered in to the hundreds of thousands. We suspect with shortages in the US that the first option is the reason in that Apple allocated lower amounts of stock internationally.

This doesn’t mean you wont be able to pick one up from an Apple store on launch day although keep an eye out the day before on queues as in some cases they may be rather large. [Read more…]

Apple iPhone 4G Spotted Again

May 12, 2010 by 5 Comments

After the huge leak over on Gizmodo about the Apple iPhone 4G, we are now seeing more pictures of what looks to be a slightly updated prototype model. When we say updated, we mean a couple of screws around the dock connector are not on this version captured by camera.

Other than that the phone appears to be a prototype due to the XXX stamp on the back although this model of the Apple iPhone 4G looks to have 16GB of storage.

The phone was captured on a Vietnamese website which we assume had close contacts with the factory where the iPhone 4G is being built for Apple [AAPL]. [Read more…]

Apple iPad to get Wi-Fi Fix

May 11, 2010 by Leave a Comment

A number of Apple iPad users have noted that the Wi-Fi connectivity has been quite bad with connections often dropping. Reasons for this have been determined by some to be the DHCP lease expiring where the iPad needs to grab a new IP address and in so doing, has problems for some reason.

Temporary fixes have included disabling and re-enabling wifi on the iPad and in some cases, power-cycling the iPad (ie, switching it right off and back on). Of course, these work-arounds are not the ideal thing to have to do for something that should just work.

We are hearing good news though in that Apple [AAPL] are intending to fix the issue with a software fix sometime soon. It isn’t clear when a firmware fix will be release and how it will all work, but we assume it will be a 3.2.1 release or similar and hopefully they don’t make us wait till the iPad iPhone OS 4.0 release later on this year.
