I would have said 'you are insane' if you've told me, 'Apple would worth more than Google one day' four years back. However, you would know today that you'd not been wrong at all in predicting that. Yep, Apple is worth $147.56 billion while Google is worth $144.2 billion.
This is a sad aftermath of the gloomy adieu of Eric Schmidt from Apple board. The two companies, which we consider once as hand and glove are now going to compete with every bit of their claws and nails. Safari against Google Chrome, Android against iPhone OS and Mac OS X against Read More...
Apple released iPhone OS 3.1 beta 3 version early Tuesday, there are many minor feature tweaks as expected. The most noteworthy feature is the copy/paste option for sending video files.
It works the like copy and pasting images to mail them. You simply need to tap and hold to copy any video, go to mail tap and hold to paste again and share it on the fly. Hmm, you'll only need to make sure that the files are acceptable to mail clients for receiving and sending. No big videos, please.
Another important change is the display inside data usage page under General Read More...
Yo ho! I am a little late in reporting this, but it's still worth some cents. Apple has released the beta 2 version of iPhone OS 3.1 and SDK. Registered developers, go ahead and download the OS, discover the secrets and let the iWorld hear about the tidbit features.
And those of you who not registered but are tempted to test the beta OS, heed Apple's warning: "These versions are for development and testing only and should be installed on devices dedicated to iPhone OS 3.1 beta software development."
Some of the features known so far are the option to send applications Read More...
It's not even two weeks yet since Apple released the iPhone OS 3.0 and also launch the iPhone 3GS; OS 3.1 beta and SDK 3.1 beta are out again. The company is not in a mood to stay idle even for a while, the several million download mark and a million sales stunt are driving them crazy or they have become really confident .
Everything seems to be going super good and these latest beta releases I am sure is enough to give Palm a surprising surprise.
Some of the features in OS 3.1 beta are:

With WWDC 2009 just a month away, Apple is getting all feverish and excited. The company has just released beta 5 of iPhone OS 3.0 signaling the circle is getting complete. If you are a registered developer and have signed up for the Apple developer's program, go ahead and download the software.
Early adopters of the beta software are reporting that beta 5 has hidden MMS feature. The button for enabling and disabling MMS which was there in earlier versions is mysteriously gone.
The treasure hunt for new features of iPhone OS 3.0 is still on and more and more are being discovered.
Along with the ability to receive video MMS, video recording and editing features seems to be coming with the next iPhone hardware upgrade. Ben over at benm.at discovered a resource file in the beta OS that hints at the coming of not only video recording, but also the ability to trim and edit video files.
This is all good news for now. Can't wait for WWDC 2009 to see the new iPhone.
Developers who have signed up for the iPhone SDK are henceforward forbidden to write applications that can be installed on jailbroken iPhones and are also not allowed to do anything to distort Apple technology by means of messing up with security and DRM. This is part of the new iPhone Developer Program License Agreement being handed out to developers. Here is a quote from the new agreement:
"You will not, through use of the Apple Software, services or otherwise, create any Application or other program that would disable, hack or otherwise interfere with the Security Solution, or any security, digital signing, digital rights Read More...
The images, I thought could be that of some iPhone clones. Wrong guess, a Chinese blog claims that the images are Lenovo's Android oPhone OS. What a clone!
Look at the rounded square application icons? Don't you think it is so iPhone-ish.
Jump to the keypad page in the phone interface, don't tell me this is the final design of the OS. It is likely that smartphone manufacturers consider making something that looks like the iPhone as the yardstick of popularity and success.
However, this may not be the right strategy to woo iPhone haters with something that strikingly looks like the iPhone.
And yes, even the Read More...
