Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
Macworld’s Christopher Breen discovered quite by accident that Apple allows for you to keep your rentals longer than 24 hours.
Apparently, if you pause the movie, and keep it paused, you can finish watching it once you press play again, no matter how long after the expiration it is.
For instance, if you start watching a movie today, and then pause it, and then a month later click play again, your device will display a screen informing you that the rental has expired and you can either “Resume” or “Delete.” Clicking “Resume” continues the movie, but it is un-pauseable and if you stop it, the movie will delete.
This is a nice little feature Apple has added in that basically ensures you get to see the whole movie as long as you only paused it. Breen notes that once he force-restarted his iPod, the rental was no longer there.
