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.
Hidden within the options menu for MobileMe in the iPhone’s settings, there’s a new option that’s appeared in the 3.0 beta. Named “Find My iPhone,” I’m sure you can guess it’s primary use.
It would appear that Apple will offer a service to MobileMe customers allowing them, if this setting is activated, to request the location of their iPhone—whether because they’ve lost it, or it’s been stolen. Sounds like a very useful feature to me, but what about security? The access to the iPhone’s location is only given through MobileMe. The security therefore, is the same as Back to My Mac. No one else will have access to this information, so there’s no worry of being spied on. Well, no more than usual. Let’s just hope the thief forgets to turn this setting off, too. Or possibly you would have to provide your MobileMe password to turn the feature on and off.
There’s nothing about this service on the MobileMe website yet. I expect an update will appear around the same time as iPhone 3.0 ships.
