Businessweek reports that Apple and Microsoft are currently in negotiations to replace Google as the default search engine on the iPhone with Microsoft’s Bing.com. The talks have reportedly been underway for weeks.

Businessweek cites the increasing rivalry between Google and Apple as one of the reasons behind the discussions.

“Apple and Google know the other is their primary enemy,” says one of the people, who’s familiar with Apple’s thinking. “Microsoft is now a pawn in that battle.” Read more…

I love my iPhone, but I have to say that there is one little thing wrong with it: it’s a first generation. That means that I can’t quite play all of the games, or record video, or do all of the cool GPS things you kids can do nowadays. It’s not a really bad thing — I can still do a good 99% of the things that a 3GS can do, and I get plenty of usage out of mine anyway — but it is kind of a pain waiting for my Google maps to update over Edge, or not having turn-by-turn directions when I want them.

Fortunately, there are already ways to get GPS going on my 1st gen, and here’s another one. The G-Fi is a little box that will add GPS to your first generation iPhone or iPod touch. Unfortunately, this one is probably a little too hardcore for me Read more…

Samsung, has announced a new 64GB memory moviNAND that could be used in next-generation iPhone that may be arriving in the summer like every year.

The new chip measures 1.4 millimeters in height, composed of 16 30nm-class 32Gb MLC NAND chip and a controller. Each presentation of an Apple iPhone has always doubled the size of the maximum capacity. We expect, therefore, that the next generation iphone will have a 64GB model and these could be the chips that could be used.

Toshiba, meanwhile announced the upcoming release of 64GB NAND chip, so Apple will have the opportunity to choose between the two. We’ll see!

As the iPhone becomes more and more popular to the world there is no doubt that jailbreaking the iphone has also gotten very popular. As a matter of fact jailbreaking the iphone has gotten so popular it has been featured on many reputable websites such as cnet.com, tuaw.com, and the list goes on. My point is that jailbreaking the iphone is allowing us the users to be able to do more than we could have imagined whether it be making our iphone a wireless router, to allowing us to make voip calls using skype and 3g unrestrictor.

Now that you know where jailbreaking the iphone is going we can speak of cydia and the business aspect of jailbreaking. For you the user jailbreaking is to get all of the goods but for developers it is like a gold mine with a lot of revenue potential. A year ago you had to purchase an application from cydia by downloading an app and paying the developer however he wanted you to pay whether it was through paypal or some other payment type.

It doesn’t happen so much anymore, but not too long ago you’d hear about a new offering arriving in the App Store that would stir up a little controversy (the NetShare tethering app springs to mind). They’d enjoy some fanfare and a ton of purchases for a few days before being summarily removed, never to return and often without a thorough explanation from Apple. A relatively small number of users would retain possession of the app and would take a bit of pride in knowing that they were in the right place at just the right time to snag a copy of the app before it was yanked.

Have you ever tried to imagine the iPhone with an operating system other than Apple’s iPhone OS. The Chinese certainly have and they successfully made an iphone clone as usual running the Google Android OS 1.5, this is quite interesting as it brings ideas and speculation about running other OS’s on the iPhone. Oh how we can only dream of being able to boot an iphone and choose which OS to run such as symbian, Android OS, heck even the Palm Pre’s OS and yet it again it will only be a dream.

Verizon has teamed with Google to bring two Android-powered phones and the Google Voice service to its network, in an effort to fight off the iPhone and its exclusive agreement with AT&T.

Together, the two companies plan to create, market and distribute both products and services featuring Android-powered phones on the Verizon Wireless network. The two companies plan to co-develop handsets that will come with “innovative applications” created by both, as well as third-party developers already seen on the Android Marketplace. Read more…

Apple’s recent purchase of PlaceBase, a company that produces a maps API called Pushpin, has illustrated to many Apple’s intention of competing with Google, which, for now, largely dominates the digital mapping landscape.

As the days pass amidst our heightened awareness of Apple’s potential aims, more evidence surfaces as to why Apple may have more reason than ever to “map” out a new, more competitive course for itself. Read more…
