This year it seems like Apple [AAPL] are actually going to launch the iPhone 4G a little earlier in June if a mixture of rumours and AT&T sources are to be believed.

The reason we think the iPhone 4G is coming in June is due to AT&T sources saying that the carrier has put a block on staff taking vacations in June (normally July in previous years). According to BGR, the only time Apple do a complete block on vacations like this is when a new iPhone is about to launch.

What we don’t understand is why the block is a month early unless the iPhone 4G is launching as soon as the announcement has been made (which we believe is June 22) and then carries on through the end of June in to July. [Read more…]

Apple [AAPL] have filed a detailed patent that shows they want to get in to the Concert event tickets business. From what we see they are creating a new application to be called “Concert Ticket +” that works in conjunction with Apple iTunes and eliminates the need for paper tickets.

The system is designed to enhance the concert ticket buying process and from what we can gather, will provide access to live recordings of concerts you have attended, allow access to theme parks and other large events as well as let you know when concerts are happening nearby.

The system shows that users can store tickets on the iPhone for use at a concert. By possibly using NFC, ie near field communications with RFID tags, it would allow the iPhone, or other device to be used to authorise entry. [Read more…]

The Nokia C3 was announced yesterday. The phone it’s self is the first Series 40 device with a full QWERTY keyboard. Specifications of the phone show that it has a 2.4 inch QVGA screen with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. The phone weighs 114g and the battery is good for keeping the phone running up to 20 days on standby with 7 hours of talk time.

The video below shows the Nokia C3 being demonstrated by Lars Hellstrom who is the Go-To-Market Manager at Nokia [NOK].

The phone it’s self looks quite good as well as being sleek. The C3 is aimed at those wanting to connect over social media sites and achieves this by bringing social networking to the home screen allowing users to see what’s happening at any given time. [Read more…]

We came across some pictures this morning of a device that is claimed to be the iPhone 4G or iPhone HD as some are referring to it as. The image show the back cover of the device and it appears to be heavily inspired by the Apple iPad with squared edges rather than the smooth curves of the current iPhone.

Of course these could be fan made and probably are, but they still look good enough to publish here if not just to see what we might be in for when the official announcement is supposedly being made on June 22.

On the back of the casing, 64GB is etched on indicating that Apple [AAPL] are increasing the storage capacity of the iPhone, which to be honest, wouldn’t come as a surprise. Also it says Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China. [Read more…]

MuscleNerd has just launched RedSn0w 0.9.5 Beta that allows iPhone OS 4.0 to be jailbroke.

This is a beta release of redsn0w targeted at developers of jailbroken apps. It uses the same pwnage2 DFU-mode exploit that we’ve been using since the 2.x days. Nothing new is revealed to Apple, and it’s not applicable to the iPad. Don’t go near it if you use yellowsn0w, ultrasn0w, or blacksn0w.

As warned above, this isn’t for regular users. First off, you need to be a developer to get iPhone OS 4.0 on your iPhone (the beta version as the public hasn’t been release yet), and also there isn’t much that can be done just yet as developers haven’t really created any apps for 4.0 that would work on it just yet.

Motorola have outlined their Android 2.1 roadmap to get all their Android handsets current with the latest version of Android, ie, 2.1.

There are currently six Android phones listed by Motorola of which the DROID has already gone through the process of OTA updates to Android 2.1. Next on the list is the MILESTONE that also has had updates pushed out to it and this process “should” be complete by now.

The Motorola CLIQ and CLIQ XT are both pencilled in for a Q3 OTA update and following that is the Motorola BACKFLIP and some country versions of the DEXT. The Motorola DEVOUR however, is under review perhaps due to how recently it launched. [Read more…]
