August 11th, 2010

There has been lot of talk about the failure of compatibility of iPhone 3G, 3GS and iPod 2nd and 3rd generations with iOS 4. Apple has launched an update iOS 4.0.2 which is considered to be Apple’s patch to compatibility problems faced by lower versions of the OS.

Also the update is supposed to fix security vulnerability associated with viewing malicious PDF files. The other possible fix is the iproximity sensor glitch which many users were waiting for. Now even developers can be confident that iOS 4 apps can be developed keeping iPod and and iPhone 3G in mind and users who already upgraded to the iPhone need not regret in any way.

Tawkon app shows increased Radiation levels during Death Grip

August 10th, 2010

Everyone right now might be dissing the iPhone and all those big SmartPhone companies because of the loss in reception due to the death grip. But not many except the experts at Tawkon have looked at the issue from the radiation point of view. Tawkon developers of world’s first Cellphone radiation measurement application has noted that the cellphone radiations have increased in large way when the SmartPhone was held a bit tightly.

Tawkon released a video in their blog demonstrating how radiation levels push hard when the grip of death comes in to play. The video shows how all the major smartphones increase their radiation levels when the phone is subjected to pressure.

iPhone 4 jailbreak enables FaceTime video calling over 3G

August 3rd, 2010

The Jail break app was an aHa moment to me and I am sure many iPhone 4 handsets are ready for some further experimentation. One of the most appealing feature in the new iPhone is the FaceTime feature which typically runs on Wi-Fi. But the FaceTime application can now on 3G connection too. This is possible by virtue of Cydia app called My3G a unique application which is built to make Wi-Fi apps run on 3G. So if you Jailbreak your iPhone 4 and install your app then you need not wander around for those feeble Wi-Fi signals. However the video quality again depends upon strength of 3G connection and the video quality sometimes may not be as much you expect it to be.

Check the video below to see the app in action.

iAds now pitched for all iPhone Developers

July 30th, 2010

Finally Apple has pitched the iAds advertising network for iPhone developers. Although the website revealed less about the new Ad network which would help iPhone developers monetize their applications, we have got a bunch of important news to keep you interested even though the company suggested developers to contact the company in order to get further details.

iAds-for-iphone-developers

Few of the features of the new iAds is that developers can exclude Ads from competitor and also low quality and irrelevant Ads. Apple has also mentioned that the Ads will be targeting the right audience and will be country specific. iPhone developers will be charged 25 cents per click and brand advertisers will be charged $2.00 per-click.

A rough estimation on the consequence of this move from the company to pitch the program to iPhone developers is that it could well bring about $825 million business according to a research note published by Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi.  This is an alarming figure and also the starting steps from Apple to dominate the mobile Advertising world.

Cellular radiation app developer Tawkon starts tell Apple petition

July 27th, 2010

Few weeks ago we covered a very important news on Tawkon the world’s only application which notifies a user about cellular radiation. The news mentioned Apple’s invitation to Tawkon developers to Cupertino which was made shortly after the developers created a similar application for Blackberry. But Apple has once again shunned the iPhone application for a reason not revealed yet.

tawkon-iphone-developer

Apple’s behavior towards the cellular radiation application has irked resentment in many iPhone users who seriously wish to know the radiation levels they are subjected to when they use the phone. I always believe people deserve the right not to have radiation statistics hidden from them. Not only did the iPhone developer create an application which shares SAR levels but also an app which shows real-time gauge to see when they’re exposed to higher and lower levels of radiation. The Tawkon application minimizes radiation exposure of a cellphone at any given time.

I feel Apple’s response to the developers plea for appstore approval is a very damaging in users interest and eventually will cause people doubting Apple’s transparency letting know its radiation levels.

If you want to help Tawkon out in making it get download able to Apple users then you can sign this email and send it to Apple within a single click.

Finally  iOS 4.0 gold master edition is available to all iPhone and iPad developers. All you have to do is to head to Apple’s developers page and download the new iOS 4.0 SDK kit and you need not be a paid member of the Apple’s developer program to relish the benefits. free_iphone_apps

Gold Master edition along with iTunes 9.2 was announced as seeded for developers earlier but that was just a release candidate version of the SDK. Now iPhone developers can access the actual version of the developer software development kit and start making some seriou apps for the new iPhone 4 if tweaking an existing application for iOS 4 compatibility isn’t your cup of tea.

Also developers should expect iPad iOS 4 SDK Beta version release very soon after the launch date of iPhone 4 along with much expected Game Centre application which is claimed to be the next best thing in iPhone Game development. So from users point of view their isn’t much to worry about as you will have a bunch of apps to choose for download on the day of purchase of glossy black spectacle.
