You've been to the Apple Store. If you could recreate that in a hotel, that would be a very attractive place to stay. We're really excited about what Apple's done with the enterprise SDK.
Bradley Wlaker of Nanonation, on a seminar on Mac in the hospitality industry.
According to a post in the AppleInsider, following the iPhone's popularity, Apple is all set to explore newer vistas in the computer-industry application domains. The iPhone impact resulted in an unforseen demand for Mac in the US higher education sector. Could the hospitality sector possibly stay behind?
It seems that Apple products have grasped the imagination of media-drome. Read More...
With August 22 approaching and nothing to do on a particularly boring Monday afternoon, some of us in the office decided to go a bit "intellectual". We were just lazily debating over how going global will impact the iPhone and vise-a-versa. Lazy chatter? We thought so too. As it turned out, however, someone has actually thought about it and what's more, created apps with local flavor!In its second phase of release one of Apple's biggest targets will probably be India with already two carriers offering the 3G to a vast market. At least one dev, one Muthu Armugum has thought so Read More...
Yes. You can go to jail, in Germany. Or be out under surveillance by the FBI as a suspected terrorist. All this can happen if you are trying to meddle with the iPhone. Consider this: if you are trying to unlock the iPhone 3G by using the hardware-based SIMable option. According to the Pwange team the third generation baseband chip is "designed around" sim based -hardware hacks and hence tampering with this might result in "leaking" the information over cellular networks and generate errors. Which in turn can be tracked by various telecom companies, who could be led to believe that Read More...

Apple computers seem to have a cachet with college students that other brands of computer don't have and this cachet has been re-enforced by students' adoption of iTunes, iPhone, and iPod,
--Eric Weil, managing partner at Student Monitor, to the Macworld magazine.
Riding on the combined wave of the iPhone 3G and the App Store, Apple's core computer business, the Macintosh computers are enjoying a rejuvenated spurt of interest among the new generation of US computer students. 80% of the US students, surveyed by the US Research Firm Student Monitor, say they plan to buy a laptop, come new year. Among these, Read More...
The Apple experiement with its software continues. With the release of the final version of the iPhone 2.1 tentatively poised for September, Apple has, quite inexplicably, taken out the Push Notification service from its fourth iPhone 2.1 beta version. This feature, which has been present from 2.1 was being considered as an innovation that was suppossed to make the iPhone a better GPS unit as well as one with potentially better battery life.
Why is the absence of Push Notification such a major issue?
1. The battery issue: The senior VP of iPhone software at Apple, Scott Forstall, has stated that the Read More...
Apple has updated the iPhone software version to its next stage -version 2.0.2. It is an almost 249 MB update, available for iPhone 3G users. The upgrade is available for the iPhone users from iTunes.
What enhancements are available in this update? As usual, Apple has not been very generous with information. They only say that they have enabled "bug fixing" features.
What's not available? That's easier to answer. The issues that have been plaguing the users (see what users are discussing at the Apple discussion forum) since the July 11 debut of the iPhone still persist. The 3G reception hitches in most Read More...
The battery charge indicator on my iPhone keeps confusing me. And in a colorful fashion. This nagging little problem has been bothering me for quite some time already.
It happens like this. The 3G's battery meter, at the upper right corner of the screen, shows the your phone is completely charged. Then all of a sudden the battery level indicator drops unexpectedly-- with the warning message that you need to charge your iPhone ASAP. Weird thing was that this meter did not match with the larger indicator (red/green) when I was actually charging the phone. The meter actually did not do Read More...
Have you been able to get the refund from Apple for those Apps that have been removed for good or bad? Not an easy thing, as even At & T would tell you. Regarding the "tethering" (read violation of AT & T's Terms of service) issue of Netshare they were given the following reply by Net Share's blogger Alex Lovett:
...normally for all our apps we do have a 30 day refund policy, but it is simply not possible to do that with the AppStore as it is all operated and handled by Apple.
It seems that Apple then ping-ponged AT &T back to Null Read More...
Seems so. Google's ambitious platform is going to team up with HTC and T-Mobile to launch the product, possibly as early as October 2008 in in the US. The proposed phone is said to have a 5/3 inches screen along with a five-row slide-out keyboard and a 3 mp camera. And of course, 3G connectivity. The proposed/supposed smartphone, however, will be pretty bulky, it seems.
Look and feel wise, however, it looks like this Google-HTC-T-Mobile trio is even trying to compete with the iPhone. And then there is the App Store where developers are enjoying full freedom. The "Androidsphere" is propagating an image Read More...
