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.
It seems as though many Apple products have been at the receiving end of some pretty nasty scams and viruses recently. First, we had phishers going for iTunes users’ information, then they took a crack at MobileMe, and now, there is a virus circulating that targets iPhone users who run Windows. Many people have taken noticed to Apple’s recent boost in popularity, but those people aren’t always the good ones. This latest scam piggybacks on the popularity of the iPhone, and will subsequently wreak havoc on any unfortunate Windows system it can get its hands on.
In the iPhone App store, there is a popular game titled “Penguin Panic.” Scammers have been using this in e-mails to unfortunate Windows iPhone users. The e-mail usually has the subject “Virtual iPhone Games!”, “Take A Break!”, and “Apple: The Most Popular Game”, and start off by telling users what a great game PP is, and then talk about how the game is now available on your computer. Supposedly, the game is included in the attached “Penguin.Panic.zip,” but beware. Upon opening that file, a trojan is released into your system, and it is only a matter of time before it starts really screwing up your system.
With all these recent attacks on Apple products and services, the days of pointing and laughing in the faces of unprotected Windows users are numbered.
