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.
Either Apple is doing what they obviously should by adding 802.11n to the feature list of the next iPhone or someone knows what I want and is making up detailed rumors to make me salivate. I’m sticking with the first.
AppleInsider dug up some information pertaining to a new WiFi and Bluetooth chip that’s supposed to make it’s way into a new iPod touch, and through the law of obviousness, a new iPhone. The current chip, which you should know by name (BCM4325), supposedly will be upgraded to BCM4329. That’s four points higher!
This newer chip supports 802.11n and 5GHz networks, so you’ll be able to use the same network as your new Mac without the need for the newer Airport Extreme or Time Capsule. This is a pretty awesome update, since 802.11n is much faster than lesser networks, and with iPhone OS 3.0 having support for file transfers and the like, this just makes sense. But an added bonus with this chip is the FM reception and transmission support. Looks like you might not be needing that FM transmitter you’ve been eying up lately. Doubtful this supports RDS, though if you have to look up what that exactly means, you probably won’t miss it that much.
Once again, rumored upgrades to the iPhone seem predictable, but needed. I really wish Apple would throw in a few curve balls and take us by surprise. This, of course, is still completely possible, and the FM capabilities are coming closer to that realm.
