Jul 26th
The IPAD is selling like hot cakes since launch – more than 3.3 million units shipped so far in the markets of the world. And Apple would have sold even more if it were not for a problem that now plagues both the Smartphone and Tablet Market: component shortages.
In the case IPAD (as in the case of the HTC Droid Incredible), is the component that is causing the display problems – made for Apple by LG Display Co.
The South Korean company is not currently produce as many LCD displays from Apple is the order, IPAD worldwide sales have slowed down.
LG says it will be in a position to meet the high demand (like LG Ally) perfectly by the second quarter of next year.
In addition, the company plans about 512 million U.S. dollars in a new production line, which should be agreed to invest ready displays for IPAD and similar products from Q4 2011. Until then, the demand will probably exceed IPAD production capacity, especially as Apple, want to adopt the tablet in many other countries around the world.

O2 exclusive to Apple’s iPhone much support in Britain is coming to an end after Orange announced today that it is also selling the phone later this year.
In a brief statement Orange said iPhone deals have to do with the Californian computer company agreed to sell the iPhone launches in the UK.
“Orange UK and Apple have an agreement for the iPhone 3G and 3GS to Orange UK customers even bring in this year reached,” it said. “Orange has, the largest 3G network to more people in the UK than any other network, the iPhone will in all Orange direct channels, including the Orange shops, Orange, the Orange shop and telesales channels, and selected high street partner . for sale ”

In fact, Britain is one of the few countries where the supply of iPhones are still limited to a single network.

The Californian technology company hopes to branch into new networks will help it sell more phones, while Orange is desperate to improve its offer ahead of a proposed merger with a British subsidiary of T-Mobile.

Apple iPhone to Verizon in 2011?
Sep 1st
About the trends in relation to the current working directory relation between AT & T and Apple, the iPhone can still find themselves under a new distributor of 2011.
This was the prediction of Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray in relation to the exclusivity of the distribution of AT & T released for now.
Much of this is attributed to the shortcomings displayed by AT & T, in particular the current status of the availability of videos from the iTunes Store.
And the apparent successor to AT & T-points in the direction of Verizon. Verizon seems to be the logical choice in view of other companies like Sprint and T-Mobile, the Palm and the Android for the moment or address. Verizon iPhone is the exclusive distributor of Apple’s next? We have 4 months time to find out.
Apple Approves Spotify iPhone app
Aug 29th
Apple said it has approved Spotify’s iPhone App. A spokesman for the company made a rare statement to the appearance of the app for paidContent, was seen as a bid to avoid accusations of anticompetitive conduct in relation to the app too. It is unclear if the application actually appear, but only in countries where Spotify is already waiting on the computer, such as Britain and Spain.
As part of the comments referred to the official Apple usually fast approval process, which it claimed in its response FCC approved 95 percent of applications within two weeks. However, the Spotify went about unapproved for exactly one month, and Apple has no specific reasons for the delay.
The Californian company is under increasing scrutiny, as some as an attempt to those that would rival either seen the software features or the commercial services, such as excluding iTunes. In its reply, FCC, Google refused Apple’s rejection of Voice for the iPhone, but also raises competition concerns justify inaction worry that would be the mobile phone and SMS app Apple replace functions. A second paid music streaming service, RealNetworks Rhapsody, was also submitted to the App Store and is still up to his own approval.
While Rhapsody and Spotify is a new test cases for Apple, the company has often been willing to allow Internet radio applications that compete with iTunes in theory, such as Last.fm, Pandora and Slacker.

Will the Sony PSP phone come?
Jun 28th
In order to remain competitive with Apple, Sony is considering adding mobile functionality to its portable game console, the PSP. The telephone and hybrid game may not be called PSP, but the device will probably have many of the similar features of the Sony PSP, including the use of floppy disks to play movies and games.
According to sources, a development team is expected that the work in July, the combination of the features of PSP and Sony Ericsson phones. Many top-name manufacturers game have begun to offer gaming options at Apple, including Capcom. If Sony wants to remain relevant, they must consider how the change in their current product line to appeal to more consumers.
Sony has not officially on the reports and similar rumors floated about two years ago, when Sony filed a patent for a PSP phone hybrid. At the time, British Telecom had stated that it was cooperating with the company to phone functionality to the PSP.
Apple finally launches iPhone 3.0 OS

Announced in March, iPhone 3.0 OS is now finally available for download, so that all iPhone and iPod touch users can use their devices.
Of course, iPhone OS 3.0 is already installed on the new iPhone 3G-S, but these are only on 19 June (AT & T in the U.S.).

GPS app for iPhone from Navigon
Jun 15th
Navigon announces a new application for the iPhone. I thought that TomTom would be the only major GPS company that an application for the new iPhone 3.0 software. Navigon officially announced today on a new app called Mobile Navigator, will make its way to the program later this month save.
In an attempt to establish a new market for GPS software, and potentially in competition with its rival, TomTom, the new MobileNavigator some offers many cool features typical Navigon. For example, it sports Reality View Pro, Real Roadsign Pro, Lane Assistant Pro, Speed Assistant, Day x26 Night mode, POI information “updated maps, intelligent navigation, and a few other features not disclosed.
You know how when you use the iPhone 90 degrees, the orientation changes from image to landscape? Well, the GPS application on your iPhone guide for your comfort. It is the work “seamlessly” with the iPhone, in the sense that they can navigate to an address in a contact, as well as stop when a call comes, and then again immediately after the call has ended. It would in any case, a pain, if after each call, the GPS, and has set itself a new start.
As I mentioned earlier, MobileNavigator be later in June, probably after the 3.0 software was key to all iPhones. In addition, Navigon will be two versions of the application, a LITE, free version, and the other will cost money. The Lite version comes with the most important functions, but no active route guidance. Meanwhile, the paid version comes with all the above features. It will definitely be interesting to see how Navigon approximately compared to the TomTom App and which of the two will prove increasingly popular among the citizens.
Back in March, you can remember that I am using Garmin, TomTom, and Navigon to see if they have something to do with the iPhone. At the time I thought, would Navigon most, to an application for the iPhone, as they specifically said: “We would be the iPhone in the category of potential opportunity”. Hey, who knows, maybe Garmin come with their own application for the iPhone too.

May 17th
If there is one thing that I, as it is elegantly combines two related devices in a device useful. Griffin has to do with their PowerBlock and PowerJolt reserves.The PowerBlock is a charger, the power-up any USB-chargeable device, including your iPhone or iPod Touch. But the interesting thing is that it is also a removable battery pack, the backup performance when you need it (the reserve-Pack only works with iPods and iPhones).

SlingPlayer Mobile app to be available soon in App Store
May 16th
With the iPhone, do so many tasks on-the-go “is quite possible, however, catching up on television shows that you saved with your Slingbox or DVR player is not so possible. Today, Apple has finally Sling Player Mobile App to stream your TV programs from your device at home, for $ 30.
Now, while all this sounds good, there are a few drawbacks. The biggest drawback is the fact that the program will only work when connecting to a Wi-Fi network. AT & T, this restriction on Apple and the Slingerland Players around probably because they do not want people to eat, the 3G services with large flows. If the program works only when connected via Wi-Fi, then AT & T does not have to worry about their 3G system is always busy. , In addition, $ 30 is a tad unreasonable, especially when you can not use the program all the time. The same type of application for BlackBerry phones since December as a beta app, and since March as version 1.0.
For iPhone owners, a Slingbox, $ 30 dollars, and usually in the range of a Wi-Fi connection, you will probably be happy with the possibility of this App. For the rest of us, it is likely that we would like some, but not worth it at this point due to the inefficiency price. Decline would be expected to in the App Store in the next day or so.
