| AT&T says FaceTime over Cellular feature will require Shared Data plan Posted: 17 Aug 2012 01:46 PM PDT
Some news today for AT&T customers hoping to take advantage of the new FaceTime over Cellular feature in iOS 6. The carrier has just announced that it won’t be charging subscribers separately for the service. The news comes in the wake of ongoing criticism, after warning messages started popping up in handsets running iOS 6 last month indicating that the feature would be an additional cost for AT&T customers. But there is one major stipulation…(...) "AT&T says FaceTime over Cellular feature will require Shared Data plan" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com.

Sprint must really, really want you to become a subscriber, because on the heels of its $50 iPhone discount and $100 American Express Reward card offer, another promotion has been spotted.

| SwipeType brings jailbreak tweak-like functionality to the App Store Posted: 17 Aug 2012 11:54 AM PDT
SwipeType is a new note-taking application that offers up a slew of keyboard shortcuts that enable you to transcribe quicker. Functions like cut, copy, and paste, are all just a swipe away. If this sounds familiar, that’s because it is — it’s extremely similar to the jailbreak tweak KBShortcuts. Except, unlike KBShortcuts, SwipeType is actually an app in the App Store…(...)

| Apple, Google and Samsung partner (you read that right) to buy Kodak patents Posted: 17 Aug 2012 11:24 AM PDT
I bet you never though that sworn enemies such as Apple, Samsung and Google would ever go to bed together, especially given an erupting fight between Apple and Google over Kodak’s patents. But anything is possible in this crazy word, chiefly when the benefits of such an unusual partnership include cost savings plus joint, harmless ownership of more than 1,000 Kodak patents related to digital imaging. The odd bedfellows are joined by a few other firms (LG, HTC and more) and the usual suspects that specialize in IP transactions. The consortium is organized so no company could exclusively own the patents and assert them against other members in litigation…(...)

| Foxconn now wants one-fifth of Sharp as iTV meme picks up steam Posted: 17 Aug 2012 10:40 AM PDT
Funny thing how, after a period of inconsistent rumor mongering, all the pieces of an Apple branded television set rumor appear to be falling in place. First, the Wall Street Journal threw its credibility behind the iTV meme yesterday with a pair of stories describing a set-top box, likely a next-gen Apple TV, that could tap iCloud to store shows the instant they air and work with premium cable TV content. Then earlier today we’ve learned via an analyst note that the iTV could be in production as we speak and that Apple is planning to offer both a standalone $1,250 HD TV set with AT&T's UVerse and Verizon's FiOS contract and content deals, as well as a much cheaper and more advanced set-top box for Comcast customers. And just as I explained the intricacies of a cool gesture recognition technology that iTV is thought to incorporate, a new report from Japan says Apple’s favorite contract manufacturer Foxconn is now asking to double its planned stake in Sharp to as much as twenty percent, up from the originally agreed 9.9 percent…(...)

| Here’s gesture recognition tech Apple probably licensed for iTV Posted: 17 Aug 2012 09:32 AM PDT
Jefferies & Co’s Peter Misek wrote in today’s note to clients that production of the rumored Apple-branded HD TV is in full swing. While we suspect there would have been plenty of leaks ahead of manufacturing ramp up, a pair of The Wall Street Journal reports yesterday (here and here) did claim that Apple's been working on a set-top box with cloud DVR features and the ability to retrieve premium cable TV content. Whatever living room gizmo Apple may have in the works (or in manufacturing), it could rely heavily on hand gestures seen in sci-fi movies like Minority Report. In order to nail gesture recognition in 3D space, Apple allegedly licensed a technology from JDS Uniphase Corporation (JDSU). Here’s what so special about it…(...)

| iPad mini and iTV in full production, analyst claims Posted: 17 Aug 2012 08:24 AM PDT
Hot on the heels of a pair of reports by usually credible The Wall Street Journal asserting Apple’s been working on a set-top box with cloud DVR and premium cable TV content, an analyst wrote in a note to clients today that a rumored iPad mini and an Apple-branded television set are both in full production now. Based on supply checks, the note calls for 25 million iPad mini units for the September quarter and an additional 30 million units for the December quarter, which would peg iPad mini shipments for the calendar 2012 at a cool 55 million units….(...)

| China Unicom reportedly threatening to drop iPhone subsidy next month Posted: 17 Aug 2012 07:52 AM PDT
China’s second-largest telco, China Unicom, could abandon iPhone subsidy once its contract bundles expire in September, an Asian trade publication wrote on Friday, citing industry sources. The anti-subsidy sentiment is nothing new, but apparently China Mobile is unable to justify billions in prepayments to Apple and high investments in infrastructure in order to cope with fast-growing traffic because sales of contract iPhones reportedly have not met its internal expectations…(...)
