iBlueNova Formerly iBluetooth Review

January 10, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

These days we have talked a lot about the new version of iBluetooth MeDevil that has almost completely finished. The application is entered in beta and we got to try so hard to find below the full review exclusively on iSpazio. The changes are really a lot starting from the GUI, continuing with the icon, functions and even the name. Fact no longer defined as “iBluetooth” but will be called iBlueNova.

iBlueNova is the only application in the world that allows us to send and receive files, pictures, videos, and photos via Bluetooth with all other phones, smart phones and computers. It is therefore a complete release of Bluetooth natively blocked by Apple for the only communication between two iPhone or iPod Touch.

As soon as we start the application by clicking on the switch we turn on the bluetooth place on top of the menu item “Enable”. At this point we can set the visibility of our iPhone, to appear on all other devices and receive files. Read more…

Apple Tablet Has Aluminum Casing With A Q2 Launch Coming?

January 08, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Suppliers for the Apple Tablet have begun shipping touchscreen panels and will start delivering aluminum casings next month, according to Reuters sources, implying a second-quarter product launch.

AVY Precision Technology Inc, a Taiwanese manufacturer of covers for electronic products, will begin production of the cases in February, two sources familiar with the situation said on Friday.

TPK Solutions, an unlisted touch screen panel maker also based in Taiwan will also supply panels for the product, a third source said, on top of those already being manufactured by another Taiwan company, Wintek Corp.

“Production of the cases will begin in February, so everything points to a second-quarter launch right now,” said one of the sources. “It doesn’t take that long for the company to assemble the PC together, but a second-quarter shipment date is what we’re looking at now.”

Cydia App: Resupported Enables iPhone Video On Unsupported Cables

January 08, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Resupported allows you to display iPhone video out using unsupported video cables.

—–
There are plenty of accessories on the market that allow you to play video out with iPods, but when plugged into the iPhone, display “This accessory is unsupported by iPhone”, and refuse to play video out. Or at least used to.

Resupported is a safe and cheap alternative to paying the Apple tax. It enables video out through many unsupported AV cables and devices, and it does not modify system files!
—–

Here’s a simple check to see if your cord is likely to be supported:
-Does it plug into the dock connector?
-Will audio play through it when connected to your device?
-Does it have a video output or a screen?

Resupported is available from the Cydia Store for $1.99

Burglars Stealing From LA Apple Store Customers

January 08, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

I better be careful next time I walk out of my Apple Store here in Santa Monica — apparently burglars are targeting Apple Store customers here in the Los Angeles area. Over 100 customers have apparently been targeted after leaving the store and keeping a computer or other purchase in their car. The thieves wait for customers to walk away from Apple Store bags in their car, either at home or at another store, and then they break in and take them. For some reason, no computers have yet been returned, either, which makes cops think that they’re possibly being “shipped out of the country or fenced right away.” But of course that would require an organized ring, and police aren’t even sure these are all related yet.

Next Generation iPhone to Finally Get Camera Flash?

January 08, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Apple has moved to obtain large quantities of LED camera flash components, according to an AppleInsider report.

The site has learned that Apple is seeking allotments of LED camera flash components in the tens of millions for delivery during the 2010 calendar year. Due to their sales volume the iPhones and maybe even the iPod touch are the most likely recipients.

Their same sources believe that the Philips’ Lumileds Lighting sector may have already secured the win for this contract.

Its thought that Apple will use the Philips LUXEON LED camera flash technology which combines the brightness of regular lighting with the long life and tiny size of LEDs. This technology is commonly used with 5+ megapixel cameras and has successfully shipped over 200 million units worldwide.

The LEDs could also be used to provide light for video recording and flashlight applications.

Apple Investigates Slimmer, Lighter Dual-Function Touchscreens

January 07, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

A new patent application revealed this week suggests Apple is looking to improve its touchscreen displays with technology that could make them thinner, lighter and brighter.

The application, entitled “Display with Dual-Function Capacity Elements,” describes a pair of voltage lines that run across adjacent display pixels. With the described technology, capacitors could be included in the pixels of an LCD display, and could operate individually.

This method would allow panels with integrated touch sensors to be manufactured with fewer parts and processing steps, allowing the display to be thinner, lighter, and brighter. The method would eliminate the need for a touch sensor panel overlaying a display. Read more…

Apple Controls Product Leaks Says Former Apple Marketing Insider

January 06, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Former Apple Senior Marketing Manager John Martellaro today penned an interesting piece describing the company’s strategy for issuing controlled leaks, pointing to Monday’s Wall Street Journal article on Apple’s tablet device as a likely instance of such an information release.

Martellaro notes that Apple engages in the practice of controlled leaks for a number of reasons, including motivational, market research, competitive, and hype-building concerns. Controlled leaks, which are always conducted in person or over the phone in order to leave no paper trail, also serve as a prime way for Apple to disseminate information while still appearing to maintain its veil of secrecy about unreleased products.
