The Google Latitude app for iPhone and other iOS devices is now available in the app store. The app first appeared last week but was quickly removed. This time it’s here to stay from what we understand.
What the Google Latitude app does is lets you track where your friends are on a map. When logged in to the system and when it’s enabled, your position on the globe is made available to your friends so that you can see who is where. [Read more…]
Engadget has reported some problems with the Adobe Flash plug-in running on the new Chrome OS laptop. They reported that YouTube and other flash based video content stutters a lot and that the plug-in keeps on crashing while using it.
Luckily, Adobe is aware of the issue and is working on a fix that will be pushed out to the OS automatically in the coming weeks. Once installed, it should sort out all the problems. It seems that Adobe is first focusing on getting video playback just right. [Read more…]
Today we hear that the MobileMe service from Apple [AAPL] is expected to get a lot better in 2011. The information comes from a user who emailed Steve Jobs asking about the reliability of the service and making comments that he had experienced problems over the year or 2 of using it…
Q: I love my iPad and iPhone4 and am a huge fan of yours and all that Apple does. I desperately want to stay inside of Apple’e ecosystem as much as possible.
However, MobileMe is making it very difficult for me to do so. Unreliable/unpredictable syncing, creating duplicate entries (sometimes scores of them), etc. It’s almost unusable.
And I know from forums (including Apple’s own support boards) that I am not the only one experiencing these very real and frustrating problems.
Please tell me it will get better, and soon?
A: Yes, it will get a lot better in 2011.

A rumored iOS 4.3 release date was set for sometime in December. However, it appears that this will not happen this year, but instead will now be early 2011.
The iOS 4.3 update was believed to bring subscriptions to the iPhone and iPad allowing news papers such as The Daily from News Corp to set up an auto-recurring subscription rather than relying on the user to re-purchase each and every week or month that the magazines are released. [Read more…]
Yesterday saw the launch of the new PwnageTool 4.1.3 Unlock Edition. This particular tool is now used to start the unlock process on your old baseband iPhone 4 (01.59.00), iPhone 3G and 3GS on various basebands. Make sure you read the instructions before running to grab Ultrasn0w as the new Ultrasn0w 1.2 version doesn’t work out of the box for those on the 05.14 or 05.15 basebands.
Today, we now see the launch of the Redsn0w tool and it is now available for download. It works in a similar way to the PwnageTool whereby you need to create a custom firmware build with the iPad 3.2.2 baseband mixed in to unlock the iPhone. For those that need or prefer the Redsn0w tool, you can grab all the instructions on how to run and unlock your iPhone from here. [Read more…]
