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.
Apple is not letting up on the surprises this March, bringing the new iPod shuffle out of nowhere after a desktop refresh, and now announcing a sneak peek of iPhone 3.0. But what will iPhone 3.0 be? I’m sure there will be a couple new features, but I think most 3.0 enhancements will be under the hood, and the addition of features that have been notably missing for quite a while.
Filling in the Gaps
It has already been rumored that iPhone 3.0 will bring about tethering support, as well as MMS, both or which are features many phones of lower quality have had for a while. In addition, iPhone 3.0 better bring those push notifications that were promised for last September. Copy and paste is a feature that many argue is missing, but I would argue that we won’t see, at least in the traditional sense. However, if there is not some sort of clipboard functionality, I’ll consider it an opportunity lost.
Some New Surprises!
This is really up in the air, and I have to admit, I don’t even have anything remotely concrete to suggest here. The iPhone has been Apple’s platform for delivering completely new and innovative interfaces as of late, and there is no telling where they may head next. A new Springboard system for launching Apps would be more than welcome, though, as sifting through five home screens is getting tedious. Even a folder or Stacks-like implementation would be welcomed.
