Another Apple Tablet story is moving around the web again. This time it’s thanks to a French website named nowhereelse who have published some “legit?” pictures of the rumoured Apple Tablet.
Although the picture does somewhat resemble an Apple iPod Touch made fatter, I’m not convinced it’s the real thing as it just looks a bit too cheap and tacky to be an official product. [Read more…]
Another report of an iPhone Explosion is moving around the web today. This time the report comes from France where a French teenager claims to have been hit in the eye from a flying bit of glass caused by a screen exploding.
The report also mentions that the phone made the traditional hissing sound which followed by the screen breaking. Another report was recently mentioned a couple of weeks back from Liverpool where an iPhone was heard to be hissing and apparently jumped several feet in the air after being thrown out to the garden.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission in California also has documents outlining another 15 cases of burns cases as a result of people chilling out with their iPod tunes.
If you have the need to keep your photos perfectly level and straight then this Level Camera Cube is the key to sorting that out for you.

Apple recently rejected the new Google Voice app in it’s app store which caused a bit of a stir in the industry. The FCC jumped in to this last week. All that aside, it has started to annoy developers that Apple have such a heavy hand on this matter.

The 5 month old store is run by Jay Freeman and is currently growing at a tremendous rate. About 10 percent of the 40 million iPhone/iPod Touch users have logged in to the store to download software. About 470000 users per day connect to the store which is an increase of just a few months ago that saw 350000 per day. [Read more…]
Over the last few months we have seen the occasional rumour about the upcoming Apple Tablet (if that’s what it’s going to be called). Rumours seem to be getting more frequent now and the most recent one claims that an analyst (anonymous) has seen the tablet with his own eyes.
