Did you love Apple's AppWalls at WWDC? We can't blame you, they were really awesome. Still wondering how on earth you could have the same thing in your living room? Sorry, we can't help you there. However, there is something almost as good. Macstories found a Mac screensaver called AppWall. While it's not exactly like the original, it still looks great and is definitely a lot of fun to have.
Physics based games are good on the iPhone, but these games are really great on the iPad. If these happen to be your thing, you'll be glad to know that Rafter, an all-time App Store favorite, has gotten the iPad treatment. It is now available in a full-screen iPad version as Rafter HD.
We love infographics just as much as the next guy, and OnlineMBA just put together another great one of their own. Dedicated to the App Store, it contains many basic stats we should all know about our favorite mobile market place.
If today's bit of iPhone humor looks familiar, don't be surprised, as it's brought to you by the same folks who were behind the iPhone 4 commercial from last month. Again, they've filtered out all of Apple’s BS from their Antennagate coverage. It's great, and exactly what we wanted to hear.
Good news for all you iBookworms out there; Apple just released a new version of iBooks for your reading pleasure. It's a nice update as besides the usual bug fixes, it brings a couple of new features and improvements.
After the recent revelations that FaceTime may be available on the next iPod touch (based on email addresses), 9to5mac managed to figure out more details by searching through the newly released iOS 4.1 SDK.
Apple made a few changes to its privacy policy at the end of June along with the release of iOS 4 and iAds. The debacle motivated two senators; Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and Joe Barton (R-Texas), to write to Steve Jobs to ask for some more details. Surprisingly, their concerns were answered by Apple through a very detailed 13 page document made public today.
While I'm pretty sure that most folks over in Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore who wanted an iPad already managed to get one; they'll be glad to know that Apple is finally getting around to releasing it officially in their country.
As Robin Scherbatsky once discovered, news outlets in some parts of the world tend to go with some very creative approaches to make their news more exciting Here is a little example from Taiwan, based on Apple's iPhone 4 debacle.
If you were looking to get a bumper for your iPhone 4 online in the next few days, you're out of luck as Apple has just got around to pull these from its online store.
If you like to keep tabs on everything Apple, you know it can be a lot of work. Indeed, from apps, to rumors and other analyst inventions, there are tons of articles to skim through and depending on your fanboyism, it can become too much. Now, there is an app for that.
Feel free to flame me on this one, but I know close to nothing about TRON. I reached out to Joe about it, but apparently we both have some serious deficiencies in our geekiness (or we're cooler than the average geeks). Anyway, the highly anticipated TRON iPhone game has just hit the App Store and is now available free of charge.
There was something profoundly wrong with iChatr; mostly with its concept of course, but also with its presence on the App Store. Anyway, iChatr is now gone.
As you can imagine, having your products' weak spots pointed out on stage by Steve Jobs isn't particularly pleasant. Unfortunately, that's what happened to a couple companies yesterday. Because to make its point against the Antennagate, Apple showed that some other smartphones suffer from the death grip issue as well.
Apple has, as predicted, dedicated today's entire surprise press conference to addressing the iPhone 4's antenna issue; aka Antennagate. The world as we know it didn't end. There wasn't any grandiose announcement or dramatic recall. In short, a non-event for a non-issue.
Good news for all of you who have been having issue with the iPhone 4 new proximity sensor. Steve Jobs just announced today at the special iPhone 4 even that a fix is coming up and it should clear the problem once and for all.
Right now we are just a couple minutes away from Apple's special event where Steve Jobs himself (we believe) will teach us how to hold our iPhones correctly. Steve will talk about that, or it could be something else.
As you know, Apple released, just the other day, a new 4.1 beta version of iOS to developers. Unlike the 4.0.1 release made available to the general public yesterday, it comes with some new features that you might be interested to learn about. Here is what has surfaced so far:
Inspired by AntennaGate, one iPhone 4 user decided to put it all into music. And, it's not bad at all. Let's just say it puts it all into perspective.
As expected, Apple finally got around to approving the Firefox Home syncing iPhone app last night, and it's now available for download in the App Store.
Dan Frommer from Businessinsider has discovered quite an interesting little story today. Apparently, Apple tried to buy Palm not that long ago.
As we told you last night, Apple will be holding a press conference tomorrow morning (Friday) at 10am PST concerning the iPhone 4. Secretive as always, Apple simply didn't give any more details about it. So with no USB drive packed with Steve's keynote slides found in a bar this time, we're left with speculation.
There is a lot of chatter about Apple bringing Facetime to the rest of its iFloat. We've also seen a couple leaks and rumors about it. Yet, it will take some slight changes to work.
