| NYPD iPhone app takes crime-fighting mobile Posted: 20 Jan 2013 03:02 PM PST
The New York Police Department is pretty tech savvy for a government agency. Last fall, it launched a smartphone registration program to help track down stolen iPhones. And this month, it’s released its own iPhone application. The app, which is simply titled ‘NYPD,’ sports a number of useful features for New York City residents including a photo gallery of wanted criminals, and breaking news. And you can even use it to submit anonymous crime tips…(...) "NYPD iPhone app takes crime-fighting mobile" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| New Samsung ad says iPhones are not for work, blasts BlackBerry Posted: 20 Jan 2013 02:43 PM PST You can’t blame Samsung for amping up its anti-everyone advertising as it’s worked out so well for them thus far. In this new commercial aired during tonight’s NFC championship game and subsequently published on Samsung’s YouTube channel, a bunch of hipsters working for a mobile games developer are depicted using Galaxy smartphones and tablets. In one instance, the clip highlights multitasking capabilities of these gadgets where you can set the video to play while continuing to browse the web or sort through your email. Then the focus turns (mark 0:40) to one of the old guards who tells a young office chick that she won’t “consolidate” her phones because she has “a system”: her BlackBerry with its clickety-clack keyboard is for work and an iPhone with an ugly case is for home. The lady abruptly cuts off the younger colleague after her attempt to explain the benefits of the Galaxy S III: “Allie, please respect my system”. The commercial is a bit weird and primarily targets the struggling BlackBerry (talk about beating the dead horse). There are more jabs at RIM and Apple in an apparent shift of strategy as Samsung takes aim at enterprise market. Oh, and what’s up with the unicorns and that guy from 30 Rock?(...)

| iSpy Tank: an iPhone-controlled tank with built-in spy cam Posted: 20 Jan 2013 11:48 AM PST iHelicopters, the makers of such iPhone-controlled toys as the iUFO, RC cars and helicopters, has a new toy on the market, an iDevice-assisted miniature tank (looks like a sci-fi car to me). In addition to a free app which lets you control the vehicle by tilting your device, the iSpy Tank features a built-in camera. You can control the camera angle via the app and even beam video feed from the toy straight to your device’s screen, in real-time: perfect for spying on your neighbors or checking on your cat while you’re at work. Turn the volume down before playing the promo clip above…(...) "iSpy Tank: an iPhone-controlled tank with built-in spy cam" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |

Then there was the cellular iPad and iPad mini launch on Friday. And now we know that Apple’s legal team applied for a new iPad trademark in China last week.
