| Apple clarifies “4G” iPad marketing in Australia, warranty coverage options in the EU Posted: 30 Mar 2012 02:12 PM PDT
Apple’s doing lots of clarifying lately, that much is clear. Just this day, the company finally tweaked the problematic “4G” wording for the new iPad in Australia and clarified warranty coverage options in the European Union. In both these instances, Apple moved only following regulatory pressure or when threatened with class-action lawsuits. So, if you live in Australia and felt misled with Apple’s “4G” iPad marketing in the country, you’re in for a treat. Hop over to the iPad specs page on the Australia online Apple store and see an added line stating the device “is not compatible with current Australian 4G LTE networks and WiMAX networks”.(...)

| FireCore releases iOS 5.1 jailbreak for Apple TV 2 Posted: 30 Mar 2012 01:39 PM PDT
Well that was fast. Not even 10 minutes after we published our post on the state of the iOS 5.1 Apple TV jailbreak, FireCore released a new version of its Seas0nPass utility that is compatible with the new software. This means that folks with an Apple TV 2 can upgrade (if you haven’t already) to the latest ATV firmware, which features the new user interface, and still keep their ability to jailbreak…(...)

After going weeks without hearing any news regarding the jailbreak status of Apple’s latest gadgets, we are finally starting to get some information. Earlier this morning we gave you an update on the iOS 5.1 jailbreak, and now we have news on the Apple TV. Infamous ATV hacker and Chronic Dev Team member Bile published a blog post yesterday explaining the current state of the ATV jailbreak.

| pod2g gives us a status update on iOS 5.1 jailbreak Posted: 30 Mar 2012 11:00 AM PDT
When iOS 5.1 launched alongside Apple’s new iPad earlier this month, we saw three different jailbreak methods quickly surface. But it seems like the trail has since gone cold, as we haven’t heard any news on the jailbreak front in the past couple of weeks. That, however, changed this morning, as infamous iOS hacker pod2g finally gave us an update regarding the status of the iOS 5.1 jailbreak. And just as we expected, it looks like it’s going to be a while before we see a public release…(...) "pod2g gives us a status update on iOS 5.1 jailbreak" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

| Unhappy with reduced hours, Foxconn workers argue salary doesn’t cover basic needs Posted: 30 Mar 2012 08:25 AM PDT
Following yesterday’s findings of the Fair Labor Association's investigation into Apple's supply chain, a report out this morning claims Foxconn workers are now concerned about their work hours being cut because they think the move will lead to lower wages. Per FLA's recommendations, Foxconn and Apple have reduced excessive work times to 49 hours a week, including overtime. The two partners have also tweaked salaries, a move they claim ensures workers don’t earn less amid reduced working hours. But despite these long-overdue policy changes being put in place, Foxconn workers are not entirely convinced…(...)

| iPad helps Apple become Japan’s top consumer brand, for the first time Posted: 30 Mar 2012 07:29 AM PDT
As Apple’s influence across industries continues to grow, so does its reputation among consumers the world over. The latest example is Japan, the country infamous for its fickle consumer and, at times, odd expectations with everyday gadgets (at least by Western standards). A new study puts Apple as the top consumer brand in Japan – and for the first time, too. The achievement echoes a sentiment shared in a survey earlier this week, saying that half of all households in the United States now own at least one Apple product.(...)

| Like Jobs, Tim Cook scores 97 percent approval rating, across all industries Posted: 30 Mar 2012 06:44 AM PDT
An anonymous poll last August found out that a staggering 97 percent of Apple employees approved of Steve Jobs when he stepped down as CEO, only three percent saying the co-founder could have done better. A new study by careers community site Glassdoor, which also conducted the previous survey, now pegs Tim Cook’s approval rating at the same 97 percent high. While it’s too early to judge the new CEO, the numbers are indicative and important, telling us that the post-Jobs Apple and the U.S. industries at large have high confidence in the new leadership.(...)

| Does the new iPad pack in enough oomph for native Retina gaming? Posted: 30 Mar 2012 06:18 AM PDT
AnandTech on Wednesday posted their review of the new iPad. Per usual, the 21-page article goes into every aspect of the device in excruciating detail. The most interesting takeaway includes an in-depth analysis concerning the gizmo’s graphical prowess and how the enhanced A5X chip stacks up in high-resolution games against the iPad 2 and latest crop of Android tablets powered by Nvidia’s Tegra 3 silicon. For starters, the publication portrays the A5X as “an absolute beast” of an system-on-a-chip. But, its power comes at a price because – as it is implemented in the new iPad – the A5X “under load consumes more power than an entire iPhone 4S”. We kinda knew that, so just how fast is its quad-core GPU and can we expect jaw-dropping Retina games running natively in all their 2,048-by-1,536 pixel glory and – most importantly – at satisfactory frame rates?(...)

| Sequences shortened: Another lawsuit targets Apple over “false and deceptive” Siri advertising Posted: 30 Mar 2012 05:07 AM PDT
Two weeks ago, a guy from New York filed a class-action lawsuit in a California court, accusing Apple for "misleading" customers with Siri features set. Expect more of the same as another dude files a complaint, specifically mentioning “false and deceptive representations” of Siri’s capabilities in nationwide advertising. The plaintiff claims television commercials that depict what Siri is capable of “diverge greatly” from real world experience. To be perfectly clear, Siri does tend to behave somewhat erratically from time to time, though Apple warns it’s a beta product. The question is, should Apple heavily promote a beta product as the key feature of the iPhone 4S and – more importantly – is Siri advertising accurate and honest?(...)

| RIM accuses Apple of dirty tricks as ETSI postpones vote on Nano SIM Posted: 30 Mar 2012 03:43 AM PDT
Apple’s push for a new SIM card standard dubbed Nano SIM is in troubled waters as BlackBerry maker Research in Motion has sent a letter out suggesting that foul play may be afoot. Meanwhile, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has postponed vote on Nano SIM due to a dispute between Apple and Nokia over Nano SIM patents. RIM’s letter claims Apple’s own personnel register themselves as working for the competition in order to try and rig a vote that will decide the outcome of a bid to make the Nano SIM a new standard. The Canadian firm believes that members of Apple’s team have registered to vote claiming to work for Bell Mobility, SK Telekom and KT Corp. If true, Apple may have some answering to do…(...)
