| iPhone 5 now showing ‘In Stock’ in many countries Posted: 07 Dec 2012 05:04 PM PST
Over the past few weeks, we’ve watched as iPhone 5 supply slowly leveled out with consumer demand. Shortly after launch, availability of the handset slipped to 3-4 weeks, and it has since improved to two weeks, one week, 2-4 days. Then today, shoppers noticed that shipping estimates for the smartphone on Apple’s web store have completely disappeared, meaning that it’s in stock and available for immediate shipping for the first time since September…(...)

| Bird’s-eye view of Oregon’s upcoming iCloud Posted: 07 Dec 2012 02:35 PM PST
After taking up to the skies early-August to grab high-quality aerial photos of Apple's 100-acre solar farm and a mysterious tactical data center - both located in Maiden, North Carolina – Wired now has dispatched its “iSpy Plane” in order to take a closer look at Apple’s enormous data center site in the middle of Oregonian high desert. The facility is located right in the neighborhood of another insanely massive data center run by the social networking giant Facebook. In fact, Facebook already operates twin data centers in the area whereas Apple less than two months ago started construction on the first of two 338,000 square-foot buildings planned for the site. Though construction just got started, a mysterious “tactical data center” is already up and running…(...) "Bird’s-eye view of Oregon’s upcoming iCloud" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Apple slips to sixth place in China smartphone market Posted: 07 Dec 2012 02:00 PM PST
Apple’s standing in the growing China smartphone market has taken another hit, slipping to #6 during the third quarter, research firm IDC announced Thursday. The drop comes as the iPhone maker faces concerns its iPhone could lose ground to other smartphone makers, such as Samsung and Nokia, whose handsets cover a wider range of price points. Apple share of smartphones shipped to China fell below ten percent during the quarter, a drop which coincides with Chinese smartphone shipments topping 60 million handsets, a new high… (...)

| Transloader: download files remotely to your Mac via iOS Posted: 07 Dec 2012 01:24 PM PST
Transloader is a new Mac app available on the Mac App Store, which allows you to remotely download files to your Mac via an iOS app. The two apps speak to each other via iCloud, with the iOS app acting as a means to forward a download URL for the listening client running on the Mac. If you’re like me and always on the go, Transloader is a great way to save time by downloading files while away from the home or office. Take a look at our video walkthrough inside for a glance into how it works.(...) "Transloader: download files remotely to your Mac via iOS" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| USPTO preliminary invalidates key Steve Jobs iPhone patent Posted: 07 Dec 2012 01:12 PM PST
The ultimate smartphone patent which covers the intricacies of the iPhone’s touch screen heuristics has been preliminary invalidated by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), reveals the FOSS Patents blog which covers intellectual property and litigation in the technology industry. That’s bad news as USPTO in October also invalidated the famous rubber banding patent, Apple’s other prized iPhone invention. Now, all is not lost because many patent claims that are rejected at the early stage do ultimately survive, though the prospect of loosing the iconic multitouch patent is without any doubt a major concern for Apple, even with plenty of other multitouch-related patents the company now holds…(...)

| Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition launches on iPad Posted: 07 Dec 2012 11:45 AM PST I’d spent countless hours playing BioWare’s Baldur’s Gate back when I was a little younger so it goes without saying I’m pretty excited about a re-worked, enhanced edition landing on my favorite tablet. Developer Beamdog did a nice job updating the classic role-playing game with a bunch of new characters, weapons, adventures and maps. Even more content is available via the in-app purchase method. The game includes the original Baldur's Gate and the Tales From the Sword Coast expansion pack, in addition to new content like a monk character named Rasaad yn Bashir, a new adventure called The Black Pits and more. Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition can be purchased immediately from the App Store provided you’re willing to plunk down ten bucks…(...)

| Apple ‘more in tune’ with TVs than set-top box biz Posted: 07 Dec 2012 11:12 AM PST
Wall Street investors are among those intensely interested in Apple CEO Tim Cook’s remark that the iPad maker has “intense interest” in doing something about television. One observer believes Apple wants its logo on the king of the hill, top of the heap when it comes to consumer electronics: the television set. The company has never been one to work around the edges of an industry. That’s why a Wells Fargo Securities analyst expects Apple to forgo a predicted set-top box and instead go for a full-blown Apple TV, calling it the “centerpiece of the living room”…(...)

| The iPhone 5 hits Samsung’s home turf Posted: 07 Dec 2012 10:39 AM PST
As promised, Apple on Friday rolled the iPhone 5 out in Samsung’s home turf of South Korea, home to population of 50 million people. Today’s launch will be augmented by the global roll-out to an additional 50 countries later in the month as Apple works on fulfilling its self-imposed schedule of having the device available in a hundred countries and across 240 carriers by year’s end. The Cupertino firm appears to have caught up with demand as the online Apple Store now quotes 2-4 business days for online deliveries. The previous two-per-customer limitation has also been lifted so people can now order as much iPhones as they wish…(...) "The iPhone 5 hits Samsung’s home turf" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Apple’s return to US could be led by Foxconn Posted: 07 Dec 2012 09:50 AM PST
Remember when foreign auto makers such as Honda opened manufacturing plants in the United States? The same likely will be true for Apple in 2013 when the Cupertino, California-based iPhone maker relies on its Chinese manufacturing partner to hire U.S. workers to build gadgets – then increasingly exported to other nations. I’ll pause while you try to follow that convoluted logic. When Apple CEO Tim Cook recently told interviewers his company intends to spend $100 million in 2013 to produce a line of Macs in the U.S., unsaid was the fact he’ll likely have to rely on its Taiwan-based go-to manufacturer, Foxconn, one analyst notes Friday morning…(...)

| Final Fantasy IV hitting iOS on December 20 Posted: 07 Dec 2012 09:22 AM PST
Square Enix announced it will be bringing Final Fantasy IV to both iOS and Android. Apple’s platform will enjoy a preferential treatment with the Final Fantasy IV release on Thursday, December 20, just days before Christmas. As for the Android build, it’s gonna arrive some time in 2013. Final Fantasy IV is a remake of the 2008 Nintendo DS game, with visual improvements and a few nice mini-games, among other perks, which should be enough to keep fans of the franchise glued to their devices…(...)
