According to a 9to5Mac report, the iPhone 4 Beta 4 update shared some interesting information with us. Though it is commonly expected that the iPhone 4 is going to have an LED flash in its list of features, what is not so commonly expected is that a camera flash may be a feature of the iPad or the iPod touch in the feature. Though none of the recent prototypes alluded to this possibility, the iPhoneOS 4 code gives us some insight:
There you have it in black and white code script, the iPad with a flash. This next bit of code shows that the iPod touch will definitely have a camera:
Doesn’t look like Apple can keep too much secret anymore.
Here we go again. The title says it all; Apple’s string of leaks continues with the latest gadget being an iPod touch which with a built in camera. Tinhte, the Vietnamese company familiar with Apple leaks, has the first pictures of the newest device. As explained by Engadget, the “DVT-1″ stamp on the shows that this is an early design verification test unit used during product testing. This means that it may not be the final design. The serial number identifies the iPod as a late 2009 third generation iPod touch. Potentially, this device was one of those that never made it to production.
The most notable features are the 64GB hard drive inside and of course, the 2 megapixel camera on the back. Also, it does not appear to be taking the shape of the leaked iPhone 4g. The new iPod looks intriguing but it remains to be seen if it is fake or not, and with all the buzz and recent history of Apple leaks we wouldn’t be too surprised. Note to Apple: it may be time for a security overhaul.
The company Hammacher Schlemmer is well known for coming up with some of the most innovative and should we say, quirky household products on the market. So it was no surprise when the company released the first of its kind eco-friendly solar powered iPod speaker dock.
Powered by a solar panel, the new gadget boasts two 5-watt, full-range speakers providing crisp highs, balanced mid-ranges, bass-boosted lows and requires three hours of charging for one hour of use. When the solar panel is closed it has an IPX-4 waterproof rating making it ideal for poolside gatherings and boating trips. The device is currently available at the Hammacher Schlemmer website for 199.95, which is a small price to pay for those hoping to save the environment one iPod recharge at a time.
Apple used to be the underdog in comparison to Microsoft. Watch the first Apple 1984 commercial:
In 1984, however, Apple decided break away from Big Brother Gates. Then, last night on the Daily Show, John Stewart called out Apple on the lost iPhone 4G prototype response, Steve Jobs, and Apple in general:
So Apple has grown into a corporation that makes seductive products as tasty as bad Chinese food. What’s the big deal? Maybe Apple has become “the man.” We aren’t hippies anymore at Woodstock and making flower chains. Apple is a corporation. MacBook Pros, iPhones, iPods and etc., have only been able to be produced because of the Apple evolution from an indie company into an empire. Do you think that the iPhone came by people sitting around and listening to Simon & Garfunkel? So here’s to Steve Jobs and corporate America. May you keep inventing and producing everything that I want.
