Full FeedMacworld 2010: Where are the exhibitors?
That time of year is coming up again, as we approach Macworld Expo 2010 from February 9th through the 13th. And yes, while it’s sad that Apple won’t be appearing this year, you might also be surprised to hear who else isn’t showing up. Despite IDG mentioning HP, Microsoft, FastMac, Shure and Intuit had already signed up during their town hall meeting last January, the current exhibitor list they’ve posted says otherwise.
More Verizon attack ads focus on iPhone and AT&T network
Verizon is certainly on a roll with their iPhone and AT&T network attack ads, and it doesn’t appear as if even a lawsuit is going to stop them. In a bold move, they’ve published three more ads directly focused on comparing their phones to the iPhone as well as their 3G network to that of AT&T.
World’s first iPhone worm Rick rolls your phone
The first worm to come to the iPhone doesn’t erase all of your data, steal your information, or even turn your phone into a brick. This worm simply changes your lock screen wallpaper to famous British pop star Rick Astley with a message that reads, “Ikee is never going to give you up.” While it is scary in and of itself that this hacker is able to make such a change to your phone’s data, you’ll be delighted to hear this fear should only be for people with jailbroken iPhones.
Droid appearing on Google and causing lines, what about iPhone?
The day of the Droid came and left with relatively little press coverage compared to what we’ve seen from the iPhone in previous launches. However, that isn’t to say the Droid isn’t receiving its fair share of publicity, and for good reason. While I haven’t personally gotten my hands on one of these devices, I’ve heard many great things not only about Android 2.0 and the hardware, but about Verizon’s great coverage as well. With a large touch screen and nice camera, it’s not really a surprise that small lines formed by customers waiting to get their hands on one of these.
App Store now has more than 100,000 applications available
Apple’s iTunes App Store has reached a very important milestone: 100,000 available applications. In a marketplace where other companies are struggling to get 1,000 applications available for purchase and download, Apple and the developers with accounts have once again risen to the occasion. 100,000 certainly isn’t a small number, and it undoubtedly has brought much success for Apple and the iPhone OS platform.
A closer look at Apple’s new mobile checkout solution for brick and mortar stores
A while back, we wrote about how Apple is transitioning from Windows based EasyPad checkout systems to iPod Touch based mobile checkout systems. While it’s still unclear as to what manufacturer has helped Apple create the product, we do know this is what Apple will be using for their new point of sale solution. These systems will allow Apple to get rid of the regular cash register stations and open up more room for both employees and customers to move about the store.
AT&T sues Verizon over “there’s a map for that” advertisements
Verizon first attacked Apple’s iPhone via an advertisement for the new Motorola Droid phone they will be selling this month. Then, they proceeded to attack the iPhone’s carrier, AT&T, with their “there’s a map for that” advertisements. While Apple didn’t take any sort of action against Verizon that we know of, it appears as if AT&T isn’t going to stand for it.
Apple prepping $30/month iTunes TV subscription service?
According to sources for All Things Digital, Apple has been pitching a $30 per month TV subscription service via iTunes in the past weeks. The sources are saying that various TV networks have been approached by Apple about the deal, and if enough support is gained, this could potentially rival the way we’ve accessed our TV through cable for years now.
Appletell reviews augmented reality games for iPhone 3GS
Augmented reality. If you’re not familiar with the phrase, get there. It’s a fairly new trend in games in which the computer generated graphics are laid on top of what you actually see around you. There are other more detailed and possibly more accurate definitions, but forget about them. What matters here is that augmented reality games are starting to surface on the iPhone, and we’re going to take a look at two of the first: Fairy Trails and Arcade Reality.
Appletell reviews two deer hunting games for iPhone, iPod Touch
In terms of how hunting may actually be, Real Deer Hunting does a better job at portraying that. However, when I want to play a game on my iPhone, I look to play the more exciting and action packed ones, so Big Buck Hunter was a better experience for me. That said, I would highly recommend either of these games to someone wanting a good deer hunting experience on the iPhone or iPod touch.
