ProSwitcher : A Free and OpenSource Multitasking App for the iPhone

December 11, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Say What? A Free and OpenSource Multitasking App? What about multifl0w you say? Hope you didn’t think that was going to be the last multitasking app to come to the iPhone. A few days ago we got wind of some screenshots and information for the new app.

Ryan Petrich, developer of OverBoard, has announced ProSwitcher, another Palm Web OS inspired utility to navigate through the applications running in the background on your iPhone, much like MultiFl0w does, only much easier, faster and more intuitive. And to top it all off, it’s FREE andOpenSource! The app is also being developed with the help of chpwn. The project actually started out as PreSwitcher, but the Ryan thought the name may cause some trouble, so now we have ProSwitcher. Read more…

Microsoft Developing Live Messenger and Bing for the iPhone

December 11, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Neowin has released a report that claims Microsoft is working on two new applications for the AppStore, one being a Bing application and the other for Windows Live Messenger on the iPhone. Unfortunately the applications won’t be released until March, which should time nicely with their release of Windows Live Wave 4 updates.

Quote:
“Everyone understands the popularity and the pervasiveness of the platform,” said Microsoft principal group program manager David Raissipour, following a Bing event Wednesday. “We are actively working on it.”

Microsoft already has two applications in the AppStore called Tag Reader and Seadragon, so these wouldn’t be the first apps microsoft has brought to the iPhone. This comes as no surprise, as it’s quite clear that this point that the iPhone marketshare is much more demanding than the Windows Mobile market. Microsoft understands it needs to compete multi-platform for its web and cloud based applications if it wants to maintain and grow market share, heck they even have Blackberry apps available.

Apple Countersues Nokia

December 11, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Having been sued by Nokia for patent infringement, Apple today responded by filing a countersuit of its own. The new complaint accuses Nokia of violating 13 of Apple’s patents. In announcing the counterclaim, Bruce Sewell, Apple’s General Counsel and senior vice president, said “Other companies must compete with us by inventing their own technologies, not just by stealing ours.”

On October 22, Nokia sued Apple, saying the iPhone maker was taking a “free ride” on Nokia’s research and development efforts, which the Finnish phone giant said said it had spent €40 billion on. Saying, essentially, “no, you’re the copycat,” Apple’s countersuit denies all Nokia’s claims of patent infringement against it and accuses Nokia of trying to copy the iPhone.

Facebook Gains iTunes Gift Card Feature

December 10, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

The 350 million users of popular social networking site Facebook now have another application they can benefit from — the ability to purchase iTunes gift cards for other Facebook users.

This timely functionality, reports The Loop, will let Facebook fans use the familiar interface to purchase and send iTunes gift cards in US$5, $10, $15, $25, and $50 denominations. The interface allows users to select a date on which the gift card will be delivered, meaning that you could theoretically do all of your birthday shopping for the next few years in one Facebook session, and then let Facebook do all the hard work of remembering birthdays and hoildays.

There are six different card designs available at this time, including two holiday cards, two birthday cards, and two generic “any occasion” cards. As with other Facebook apps, you must approve the app and let it have access to your profile information. Unfortunately for international Facebook users, the app is only valid for the U.S. iTunes store at this time.

It is not a universal WEP/WPA cracking utility but relies on exploiting the default key generation algorithms of these routers.

Foxconn To Manufacture Next-gen iPhone

December 10, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Image: Mock Up Not Real

Foxconn, Apple’s Taiwanese iPhone manufacturer, has reportedly received an order to build the next-generation handset, likely to arrive in mid-2010.

Eldar Murtazin, editor in chief of Mobile Review, broke the news on his Twitter account Thursday in a brief, singular post: “Foxconn received order for next generation iphone.” As noted by Engadget, Murtazin is the “ultimate insider” for news in the mobile phone world.

The timing makes sense, as Apple’s first three iPhone product debuts hit a June launch. For Apple to ramp up the production of millions of handsets in time for a global debut would take a significant amount of time. Read more…

AT&T Says iPhone Usage Based Pricing is Inevitable

December 09, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

AT&T told investors at a USB conference in New York that it will give high bandwidth users incentives to “reduce or modify their usage”.

Amidst poor public perception due to a network issues, AT&T has decided put iPhone users who watch video on tighter leashes, according to an Associated Press report.

AT&T head of consumer services, Ralph de la Vega declined to comment on when these “incentives” would happen but said that usage-based pricing for data is inevitable.

“We need to educate the customer … We’ve got to get them to understand what represents a megabyte of data,” de la Vega said. “We’re improving all our systems to let consumers get real-time information on their data usage.”

De la Vega says three percent of “smart” phone users are consuming 40 percent of the network capacity with a majority of the high-bandwidth activity being video and audio streaming.

I can’t help but think announcements like these worsen the public perception of AT&T. The last thing unhappy customers want to hear is that if they watch video or use Skype they will be paying more.
