Microsoft set to destroy Apple in every games market

Filed under: Developer, Games

Did you know that the Xbox 360 is just a PC in a box? Sure, the inputs are different and you generally attach it to a TV — but still, internally, it’s PC hardware. You can even use the controllers with your PC if you like! The Xbox doesn’t run Windows though; [...]

Steve Jobs on iPad tethering with iPhone: "No."

Filed under: Hardware, News, Apple

It goes almost without saying that a lot of the people who buy Apple’s new iPad will already have Apple’s iPhone. Maybe you were thinking, “Well, since I’ve got an iPhone already, why pay for two data plans? There has to be some way to tether the iPad using the iPhone, [...]

ReMail may live on - Google releases source

Filed under: Apple, Google, Open Source, iPhone

In what comes as a bit of a surprise move, Google has decided to open-source the code for ReMail, the iPhone app it recently purchased and retired from the App Store. Speculation at the time was that Google was killing the existing ReMail product as a way to gain [...]

Grooveshark’s iPhone app is unbelievably awesome, but totally unapprovable

Filed under: Audio, iPhone

I’m not shy about my love of Grooveshark. No one pays me to say it, it’s just the best streaming music app I’ve used — and it’s fully functional in Canada unlike some of its geotarded cousins in the audio game.

They caused a bit of a ruckus recently when they decided [...]

All kinds of crazy rumors about the next-generation iPhone are already floating around, months ahead of its release. If you were excited when you heard that the back of the phone might be touch-sensitive, you’ll love this latest feature: the new iPhone’s camera might be usable as a swipe-pad. Patently Apple reports [...]

Gull1hack ‘jailbreak’ for iPhone shows how little users care about security

Filed under: Apple, iPhone

Jailbreaking iPhones and iPod touches is nothing new. It’s been going on for ages, and it’ll probably never stop. What needs to stop, however, is the carelessness people display when they do things like installing apps or unlocking devices.

Recently, a developer released Gull1hack, which was reported to unlock the iPhone 3.1.3 firmware. [...]

Apple comments on Boobiegate, won’t pull corporate sexy apps from store

Filed under: Business, Apple, iPhone

Apple’s been catching a lot of flack for their new policy banning iPhone apps featuring semi-nude ladies (and the occasional dude) from the app store. When around 5,000 such apps were pulled, developers got in touch with Apple, who confirmed that there’s a new “no skin” policy. A couple of days [...]

Web and iPhone booty call app PinpointsX ‘points you to passion’

Filed under: Internet, Web services, web 2.0

I absolutely must preface this story by saying I do not own an iPhone. I have never used an unsecured cellular phone to arrange a booty call, and I always use cash.

With that out of the way, I give you PinpointsX. Before you get too excited, it seems [...]

Apple starts tossing sexy iPhone apps out of the App Store

Filed under: Apple, iPhone

It looks like Apple may have a new policy when it comes to sexy, borderline-pornographic iPhone apps in its store. Apps from the laddish, softcore likes of Maxim have been thrown out, along with scantily-clad ladies served up by lesser-known companies. One developer, On the Go Girls, has reportedly had SEVENTEEN of [...]

AT&T: Wholesale Applications Community is a platform, not an app store

Filed under: Business, Developer, Mobile

To follow up on some earlier news about AT&T’s possible deployment of a new, cross-platform app store, I received a clarification from AT&T about what the Wholesale Applications Community (that’s what they’re calling it) is and isn’t. It’s NOT an app store. It IS an international coalition of around 25 telecom [...]
