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.
Did Google pull a fast one on Apple with their Mobile App? It seems there’s a bit of an Easter Egg on Google’s app for the iPhone that just might contain a browser other than Apple’s Mobile Safari.
The browser is not enabled by default. To enable it, go to the settings portion of the app and keep swiping until you see the “Bells and Whistles” option at the very bottom. From here, you can change a few things like the theme color, or more interestingly, you can enable “Open Links in App.”
At first, this sounds pretty tame, since all applications can use Apple’s Safari to open up web pages, but take a look at the screen shot. That’s not Safari. Apple’s Mobile Safari identifies itself as Safari version 3.1. Google’s browser identifies itself as Safari with an unknown edition…smells like WebKit to me.
These should match up. Since they don’t, it’s at least safe to say something funny is going on here. But I’d dare say this is likely a different browser, perhaps a version of Chrome. All of the evidence makes sense. It’s not enabled by default, the setting is hard to find, and it’s from a developer that admits to breaking the rules with the use of undocumented code. So quick; before Apple finds out and pulls this, download Google Mobile and browse like you’re free!
