AT&T Preparing for ‘Unannounced’ Device?

January 20, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

BoyGeniusReport has heard that AT&T is meeting individually with regional executives to inform them of changes to the AT&T network.

What have we heard? Well, for starters, they seem to be focused on prepping the network to compensate for unannounced devices and also future devices that will use “heavy data.” What about tethering options? AT&T has said that changes to current data plans and tethering plans (or availability) will change when the network is able to “sufficiently handle the load.”

Although vague, this information corroborates reports that the tablet could have 3G network capabilities.

Here is what their ‘trusty’ source has told them:

● Many graphical and UI changes to make navigating through the OS easier and more efficient.
● The update will supposedly be available for only the iPhone 3G and 3GS, but will “put them ahead in the smartphone market because it will make them more like full-fledged computers” more than any other phone to date. Everyone is “really excited.”
● The last piece of information is the most vague, but apparently there will be some brand new syncing ability for the contacts and calendar applications.

The iPhone OS 4.0 firmware is expected to be announced at Apple’s special event on January 27th.

Apple May Be Testing iPhone OS 3.1.3 and OS 4.0

December 14, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Server logs indicate that Apple may be testing two new versions of the iPhone OS.

The BoyGeniusReport found evidence of two new user agents in their log files. The first, iPhone OS 3.1.3 would be a minor bug fix. The second, iPhone OS 4.0 would be a significant upgrade to the operating system.

Its important to note that user agents can be faked; however, its fairly obvious that Apple would already be working on the next update.
