iTunes 8 and app incompatibilityon iPhone and iPod touch

The iTunes 8 is here, but with the customary Apple eccentricities. It won’t allow some of the apps to be compatible with both iPhone and iPod touch. Here is what David Martin, of iPhone Atlas found out. These apps are Dial Zero, Distance, GPS Tracker, Jott, Kyte, Loopt, NetShare, Voice Notes and Wooo Button. What is not clear though is that what makes them incompatible. Does this happen because the developers have tweaked some thing exclusively iPhone specific into these apps? Or is it another apparition from the mysterious Apple technology limbo?

Apple Event: Anticlimax or Product Versatility?

The party did not particularly rock. The whole thing was more about refinements and readjustments. And bug fixings. Good, smooth, lots of smart up-gradations and also the envi-friendly rhetoric. Good enough for anybody else.  But lacked the Apple appeal for “one more thing”. Everyone present felt that. Everyone watching, following felt that. And the stock market also felt that as the Apple stock went down by 3%. A bit crazy as you see. Just 2 months before they gave you the world’s sleaziest phone, right? Then this is also the last quarter. And also, don’t you see the silverware? Apple’s innovation does Read More...
