USB-Forum rebuked Palm for letting the Pre sync with iTunes

USB-Forum rebuked Palm for letting the Pre sync with iTunes

Palm may no longer boast that their Pre syncs with the iTunes even if they are able to break the iTunes code again, if the company is going to take the verdict of USB Forum seriously. For Apple, that would mean battle won to keep their online store closed to all third party devices. When the Pre was launched, users were able to sync their device with iTunes to transfer media content on to their devices. Palm counted this as a special feature of the device, which angered Apple and the feature got disabled through a software update. Palm in the Read More...

iTunes 9.0 social networking almost invisible feature

iTunes 9.0 social networking almost invisible feature

True to the pre-Apple special music event rumors and expectations, iTunes 9.0, iPhone OS 3.1, iPod touch and iPod nano with camera were announced on that lucky Wednesday. With iPhone OS 3.1 Apple added some handy features and we also got bugs, too as usual. iTunes 9.0 brought a bunch of new features too, but while talking about major features, most of us didn't care whether the social networking capability was added in the update. Apple did integrated the social networking feature in the update, which I seriously feel is placed in a corner where no one would ever notice. This is Read More...

Stop stealing my Apple into your Palm: Steve Jobs to Ed Colligan

Stop stealing my Apple into your Palm: Steve Jobs to Ed Colligan

Lately, there have been a lot of whispering about how Steve Jobs of Apple tried to persuade Ed Colligan of Palm to sign "Treaty of no cross recruitment," back in 2007. That was the time when Apple had successfully launched their first generation iPhone and Rubinstein jumped over to Palm from Apple.  The communication between the two would not have happened if Rubinstein had restrained from calling over others from Apple to join him at Palm. Colligan did the right thing in refusing to agree with Jobs' Proposal, citing that it'd be "Illegal" to have such an understanding between two future Read More...

iTunes, App Store account nick name edit option disabled

iTunes, App Store account nick name edit option disabled

I don't know when did Apple made this change. May be yesterday or long time back at the time of making change to the review policy.  In the accounts summary page, there used to be a link to edit your nick name. Alas! it is no more there. This link allows users to change their nick names anytime they like; not sure why people need to change their nick names though.  If you have already got a nick name, you no longer have a way to change it.  Picking nick name is now only for those new users who have not picked one Read More...

PCWorld says Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch are monopolies

PCWorld says Apple's iPhone and iPod touch are monopolies

It has been a long long time since I read a great meaningless article. Thanks to David Coursey of PCWorld for posting an article titled "Apple's iPhone and iPod Monopolies must go." The write up accuses Apple for playing evil monopoly with their iPhone and iPod touch. Has Apple directly or indirectly forced any one of you to purchase the iPhone or the iPod touch? No. We did that on our own whims and fancies. Most of us see butterflies the moment we hear about new Apple products. Mind you, Apple products never bring insomnia due to malfunctioning. They are always Read More...

iTunes 8.2.1 released: Goodbye Palm Pre

A new beginning for iPhone users and a tragic end for Palm Pre users is at hand. iTunes 8.2.1 is live and Apple has finally given its verdict.  Palm Pre can no longer sit comfortably on iTunes to add music seamlessly in the old fashioned way. Apple termed the yanking of the Pre as a bug fix. Here is the note: "iTunes 2.1  provides a number of bug fixes and addresses an issue with verification of Apple devices." Now, that is a real bug fix. Enough is enough Palm, do not boast anymore that your Pre is more musical with iTunes. Yap back Read More...

iTunes code redeem link not working properly: Apple fix that

iTunes code redeem link not working properly: Apple fix that

Initially I presumed it must be network problem whenever I am kicked back to the main page of iTunes while trying to redeem application promo codes. This also happens while trying to redeem iTunes gift cards. It actually turned out to be Apple's problem not my network connection.  I spend a couple of hours everyday on iTunes to see what are noteworthy, new and exciting and also to redeem dozens of promo code we receive from developers. Lately, redeeming of codes has become a frustrating experience with the process not working seamlessly as it used to, Apple probably has not noticed Read More...
