We told you about the release of Flipboard's highly-anticpated iPhone app last night, and the release has been rocking the blogosphere this morning. Flipboard is such a big deal that even Apple's own Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Phil Schiller, has endorsed the app on his public Twitter account.
Flipboard's success on the iPad is also phenomenal, as the app has already been download 4.5 million times and is currently installed on 1 in every 10 iPads.
US wireless provider AT&T is set to smash its own quarterly sales record after announcing that it has sold roughly 6 million smartphones in the first two months of the fourth quarter.
That mammoth result means that the carrier needs to sell just 100,000 smartphones during the last month of this quarter in order to match its current record, which was set during the third quarter of last year.
The reason for AT&T having such a great quarter? The iPhone 4S, of course...
Flipboard has released its official app for the iPhone. If you don't know what Flipboard is, it is an interactive magazine for the iPad (now iPhone) that has one of the most beautifully designed interfaces around.
The iPhone version introduces "Cover Stories," which is a selection of interesting articles and photos displayed in a gorgeous layout. One thing to note is that the Cover Stories feature is currently iPhone-only and is being brought to the iPad in the near future.Â
Apple just released a major update to its iBooks app. This update adds many new features, including a new nighttime theme for reading in the dark and a full-screen mode.
Many small features are also added, such as new fonts, beautiful classic covers for public domain books, and a redesigned annotation palette.
Siri has garnered a lot of media attention over the last month. Even hackers with intentions to port the digital assistant to other devices are making headlines. But along with all of the attention comes criticism. There's a lot of folks that feel Siri isn't worth the hype.
Apple has taken quite a bit of heat over releasing Siri, even though it's labelled as "beta." The company is typically known for releasing finely-tuned products that "just work," and Siri doesn't seem to fit that bill. But maybe Apple felt that it had to release Siri...
We've known that Rockstar is bringing Grand Theft Auto III to iOS and select Android devices for some time now, but we never knew when exactly we would be able to get our hands on it. That changed today, and we're all getting a little over-excited at the prospect of playing a game we already loved playing ten years ago.
As Rockstar announced today, (deep breath) Grand Theft Auto III: 10th Anniversary Edition will go on sale on December 15th. That's just 9 short days away!
The developers also announced the final list of compatible devices across both iOS and Android, with things being decidedly simpler on the side of Apple's hardware...
iPhone-controlled toys have been popping up all over the place this year. There's been helicopters, Drones, and even robots. But we haven't come across a dedicated desktop missile launcher... until now.
The iLaunch Thunder is, well, a desktop missile launcher that can rotate and fire foam missiles at nearby targets. The cool part is that you can control the rotating, and the missile launching, with any iOS device...
Prior to this year, AT&T was in a pretty sweet spot. As the only carrier in the United States with Apple's coveted handset, generating new smartphone customers wasn't very difficult.
But now that Verizon and Sprint are in the mix, AT&T might want to think about stepping up its game. Consumer Reports just named the carrier the worst in the US in customer satisfaction, again.
When we told you all about a new jailbreak app claiming to bring Siri to non-4S iDevices yesterday, we were deeply skeptical about its authenticity. We later received confirmation that, yes, the H1Siri app did use some of Apple's own code and thus was indeed illegal.
As Pete "Plamoni" Lamonica shows in his latest video, questionable legality isn't the only reason that you shouldn't be using H1Siri – it could potentially give a third-party control over your iDevice, and with relative ease on their part.
As we warned yesterday, using H1Siri means that you are sending all kinds of personal data through someone else's servers, meaning that they can either eavesdrop on what is going on with your iDevice, or even take control of it as shown in Pete's video...
Wireless carriers will typically do anything and everything to become an iPhone partner. But there have been some operators that have turned down the opportunity to carry the handset, such as US Cellular.
America's 6th largest wireless carrier told investors last month that it had just turned down a deal from Apple regarding its smartphone, citing "unacceptable terms." Now the operator is saying the iPhone's lack of "cutting edge" technology also played a factor in its decision to walk...
We all saw this coming. BGR is reporting that multiple law firms from the north eastern region of the United States have just filed class action lawsuits against Apple and several other manufacturers and wireless carriers due to their part in the Carrier IQ scandal.
Carrier IQ's IQRD app comes pre-installed on millions of handsets each year, and was recently exposed for secretly collecting private user data. The software is hidden within mobile operating systems and never asks for a user's permission to collect their information.
Although Apple's patent war with Samsung has received a lot of media attention over the last few months, its battle with HTC has been just as fierce. In fact, it was HTC's multi-touch-enabled handset that first sent Steve Jobs through the roof last year.
As with Samsung, Apple has taken HTC on in dozens of courtrooms around the globe. But perhaps none of them are more important than the case going on in the United States right now. Its outcome could have huge ramifications for both companies...
