| Good deal: name your own price for this Mac software bundle Posted: 05 Sep 2013 04:52 PM PDT
Now normally, when you see a ‘name your own price’ deal you think: what’s the catch? At least that’s what I think. If I really get to name my own price for something, can I just say $1? That’s not usually the case, but it is with this new Stack Social promo. The deal site is offering up 3 Mac apps—Airy, My Living Desktop and Compartments—that usually cost a combined $60, for literally whatever you want to pay. The only thing is your offer must be $1 or above, and if it’s $12 or more, you get more apps…(...) "Good deal: name your own price for this Mac software bundle" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |

Continuing its recent trend of offering media at a discount, Apple has launched a new iTunes promotion today that knocks a number of hit songs, of various genres, down to $0.69. That’s nearly 50% off their normal prices. The promo is simply titled ‘Great 69¢ Songs,’ and the carefully curated list of marked-down music is divided up into 10 categories including No. 1 Songs, Pop Hits, and ’90s Hits.

| WSJ: Apple testing larger iPhone displays of up to 6 inches Posted: 05 Sep 2013 01:56 PM PDT
Apple is currently testing iPhone screens as large as six inches, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal. The news comes as many of the company’s competitors are releasing handsets with 5 and 6 inch displays—the new Note 3 measures in at 5.7. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard that Apple is toying with the idea of making a larger iPhone. In fact, The Journal told a similar story in mid-July. So it seems that while the bigger displays are not expected to debut on this year’s model, they are on the way…(...)

| DeskConnect review: how to share files between all of your devices Posted: 05 Sep 2013 01:42 PM PDT
These days, it is fairly easy to share things with other devices through cloud storage. However, those services are usually limited in size. Plus, it takes a few steps to grab a file, save it to a cloud storage app, then go to another device, open the cloud storage app, find the file, and download it. DeskConnect makes it possible to easily share all kinds of media across multiple devices without having to save it in the cloud first. There are no limits on number of devices, storage capacity, or file type. Just drag-and-drop and you're ready to go…(...)

| China Telecom prematurely announces it will carry iPhone 5S/5C beginning September 20 Posted: 05 Sep 2013 12:45 PM PDT
Just as Reuters suggested the major Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo could finally start carrying Apple’s iconic smartphone this Fall, numerous reports that are now coming out of Asia highlight a seemingly unusual slip-up on the part of China Telecom, the third-largest mobile telecommunication provider in the People’s Republic of China and tenth-largest carrier in the world. The telco officially posted on the popular Chinese micro-blogging service Sina Weibo it’ll be offering both the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C at launch. Heck, China Telecom had apparently been accepting pre-orders for both devices before it realized its “mistake” and took the post down…(...)

| Japanese carrier DoCoMo to start carrying the iPhone this fall Posted: 05 Sep 2013 12:02 PM PDT
After years of negotiations, it looks like Apple and DoCoMo have finally reached an iPhone deal. Reuters is reporting this afternoon that the company will join KDDI Corp and SoftBank Corp this fall as the last major Japanese carrier to offer the popular smartphone. The news comes just a few weeks after Bloomberg ran a report claiming that DoCoMo was ready to consider carrying the iPhone, as long as Apple was willing to concede to a few demands, such as allowing it to preload custom apps. So the question is, who gave in?(...) "Japanese carrier DoCoMo to start carrying the iPhone this fall" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |

The company is however primarily known for its nice gear that includes a whole bunch of different effects processors, amps, mics, controllers and other gadgets tailored to musicians and music studios.

| China Mobile ‘has all of the power’ in iPhone talks as Apple makes concessions Posted: 05 Sep 2013 10:37 AM PDT
Apple usually is in the cat-bird seat when it comes to negotiations. The brand’s allure, coupled with billions in cash and a handset responsible for rocketing smartphone sales has made the iPhone maker a brutal negotiator. Now comes word Apple may have made concessions in order to get the world’s largest carrier on its team. Just what Apple had to concede to gain support from China Mobile varies from a low-priced iPhone 5C to even a slice of some profits. While the latter possibility is rather far-fetched, observers agree: the Chinese carrier “has all the power” in these negotiations…(...)

| Major PayPal iOS update: flattened UI, pay at local shops, save offers and order ahead Posted: 05 Sep 2013 09:10 AM PDT
It’s been months since PayPal issued any significant update to its iPhone client. Today, the company took to the official blog to announce a brand new version of PayPal for iPhone, a major step up compared to the previous basic version. In addition to the revamped interface, the refreshed software features front and center a new Shop section which makes it easy to find shops or restaurants nearby that accept PayPal payments.

As a bonus, the application now makes it possible to switch payment methods on the go to make sure you get reward points from a particular card.

Next, Electronic Arts updated Real Racing 3 with seven generations of the legendary Porsche 911 and full iOS 7 compatibility. And finally rival Activision followed suit by unexpectedly unleashing a brand new Call of Duty game. If none of the above is your cup of tea, then how about some Star Wars?

| TapTapFolder: launch the first app in a folder with a tap Posted: 05 Sep 2013 08:35 AM PDT
TapTapFolder is an innovative new jailbreak tweak that just recently appeared on the Cydia store. It’s a tweak that allows end users to launch the first app contained within a folder using a single tap on the folder itself. You may be wondering to yourself: “How do you launch any of the other apps contained within a folder?” It’s actually pretty simple: you utilize a double tap gesture on the folder to open its contents. I really dig TapTapFolder, because not only is it useful, but it does something that, to my knowledge, has never been done before on the Cydia store.

There has been little, if any, confirmation regarding the next iPhone’s improvements in the cellular radio technology department, which hasn’t stopped pundits from speculating whether or not the iPhone 5S features support for the ultra-fast LTE Advanced standard, also known as LTE-A or simply LTE+. Samsung notably promised to offer an updated version of the Galaxy S4 with LTE+ soon and now a cryptic comment by Deutsche Telekom suggests the iPhone 5S could in fact work with the latest cellular networking technology that offers at least twice the download speeds of the current-generation LTE standard…(...)

CopyDock brings an iOS 7 inspired dock to iOS 6 devices with no options or settings to configure. CopyDock isn’t a perfect 1:1 match of the dock found in iOS 7, but it’s close.
