Kid Finds Porn in Apple Store & Angry Mom Complains

September 22, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Porn and iPhone, it is out there and every once in a while you may even find porn in there. In an Apple Retail Store on one of the iPhone and iPod Touch demos, that is.

That’s exactly what happened just the other day as a mother found her 10 year old girl mesmerized by some X-rated content on one of the Apple Store demo devices:

“I called to complain and was told matter of factly by staff this happens a lot as people come in and download it for a laugh, I don’t find it funny and all my friends think it’s disgusting, but Apple say there is nothing they can do to stop it.”

Apple does a fantastic job of keeping smut out of iTunes and their App Store, surely they can figure something out for their real-world stores.

Aussie Drivers: Buy A Cradle, Or No iPhone GPS For You

September 22, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Live in Australia? Have an iPhone? Do you use the iPhone’s built-in Maps app, Navigon, or TomTom [iTunes links] to navigate? If you answered yes to all three of those questions, then I have some bad news for you: under the Australian Road Rule 8th Amendment, all use of the iPhone in your car is soon to be banned unless you buy a cradle for it, including using it as a GPS navigator.

An article from the Sydney Morning Herald initially makes it sound as though you won’t be able to use such apps at all, especially after reading this quote from a spokesperson for VicRoads, the traffic authority for the Australian state of Victoria: “A phone will only be allowed to be used for its primary purpose. If it’s a phone, it’s a phone.” But once you read farther down the article states, “Drivers will only be able to use mobile phones if they are placed Read more…

New Dual-Core Cortex-A9 Processor In The Next Gen iPhone???

September 16, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

This is an iPhone mockup NOT REAL OR ANY SPECULATION

Chip design firm ARM today announced the development of two dual-core chip designs based on the company’s Cortex-A9 platform. Implementations of the new chip designs, which will deliver performance in excess of 2 GHz while drawing less than 0.25 W of power per CPU, will be available in the fourth quarter of this year.

The Cortex-A9 speed-optimized hard macro implementation will provide system designers with an industry standard ARM processor incorporating aggressive low-power techniques to further extend ARM’s performance leadership into high-margin consumer and enterprise devices within the power envelope necessary for compact, high-density and thermally constrained environments. This hard macro implementation operates in excess of 2GHz when selected from typical silicon and represents an ideal solution for high-margin performance-oriented applications.

ARM is positioning the chip design for use in such consumer electronics devices as set-top boxes, digital TVs, and printers, although it has been claimed in the past that the chips would be appropriate for mobile platforms and would appear in those devices in 2010.

The iPhone 3GS utilizes a Cortex-A8-based processor from Samsung, suggesting that the Cortex-A9 could be a natural fit for the next-generation iPhone, although the thermally-constrained environment and energy requirements of the iPhone would likely dictate that the chip be underclocked as has been done for several iPhone and iPod touch models.

Apple, which acquired ARM chip design firm P.A. Semi in April 2008, has been rumored to be working on its own ARM-based chip designs for both the iPhone and the much-anticipated Apple tablet, and the introduction of dual-core Cortex-A9 processors would offer the company additional computing power and energy-saving options upon which to base its device designs.

iTwinge Adds a Physical Keyboard to your iPhone

September 16, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

the oddly named iTwinge, an iPhone sleeve that does the trick in the simplest of fashions: it merely covers the software keys with real, physical ones. Cool, one might think for a split second: I can finally type without looking! However, a closer inspection of iTwinge reveals a number of problems.

First of all, it makes your iPhone a lot fatter than such a sexy gadget should be. Furthermore, iPhone’s keyboard has some advantages over physical keyboards: it adapts to different situations (for example, the “.com” key is only there when you need it), it gives you a choice of typing some alternative symbols if you press and hold a key, etc. None of those will really translate well to iTwinge. Not to mention the fact that it won’t work particularly well when you flip the iPhone over to its side.

Still, it might be useful in certain situations. For example, if you must write a blog post or a long email, and the only device you have at your disposal is the iPhone, iTwinge might come in handy. According to the manufacturer, “an average user will improve their speed by 30% to 40% and simultaneously reduce typing errors by 70 – 80%”.

If you’re interested, bear in mind that it must be plugged into the iPhone, and it uses some of its power, but luckily it doesn’t require any software. It works with the iPhone 3G and 3GS and you can get it for the price of $29.99.
