Is iPad OS 3.2 really the new iPhone OS?

January 30th, 2010

When Steve Jobs first displayed Apple’s new tablet computer, dubbed “iPad”, one of the first thoughts to cross my mind was “Is this a preview of the next generation iPhone OS?”

While the new device is claimed to be running a modified version of the iPhone OS, I speculate some of the features of the iPad OS (aka: 3D Dock, iBooks, new versions of Calendar and Contacts, and others) might find their way over to the iPhone and iPod touch devices.

Engadget reported early Friday morning, that the iPad OS has been ‘jailbroken’ to run on the iPhone and iPod touch, however after watching the included YouTube video, the “iPad OS” is simply a hacked iPhone with an applied springboard theme applied. Here’s the link to the Engadget report. » Read more: Is iPad OS 3.2 really the new iPhone OS?

Apple, Fujitsu Battle over iPad Name

January 29th, 2010

Apple iPad Tablet Computer

Apple's iPad Tablet Computer

After countless years of development, and an on-again, off-again project status with a tablet computer, Apple may be faced with yet another speed-bump with the “iPad” product name from Fujitsu. The Tokyo-based device manufacture filed for the “iPad” trademark in 2003, according to a New York Times article.

“Mobile is a keyword for Fujitsu’s iPad, too,” Mr. Yamane said [in the New York Times article] “With the iPad, workers don’t have to keep running back to a computer. They have everything right at their fingertips.”

Verizon iPhone Coming Soon?

January 20th, 2010

As we enter the year 2010, many Apple Fanboys (myself included), are eagerly awaiting Apple’s fourth generation iPhone, the mobile smartphone device that changed everything we knew about cell phones.

Verizon iPhone Coming Soon? 200px Verizon Wireless LogoWhile the rumors have been around since mid-2009, just around the iPhone 3GS’ announcement, that Apple and Verizon Wireless have been in discussion about releasing the multi-touch headset device on to the network. In fact, there are stories going around (I’m not 100% sure about the story, so no quotes or information here) that Apple actually talked to Verizon first prior to the 2007 release on AT&T’s network. As the story goes, Verizon turned down Apple because of the bandwidth the device required to work as designed. » Read more: Verizon iPhone Coming Soon?

Apple’s Latest Creation

January 20th, 2010

The rumors have been floating around the Internet, and with each passing day as we get closer to Apple’s January 27th media announcement, they get more and more elaborate and realistic.

Apple’s Latest Creation Apple logoThe most recent rumors turning out have been about an Apple-branded tablet device. Pretty much a Macbook without a keyboard, but with a touch screen, or (as some have described the device) an over-sized iPod touch.

I have no doubt that Apple has been working on a tablet over the past few years, as rumors of the long awaited device have been circling the Internet for a number of years. And, in typical Apple fashion, Apple has neither confirmed nor denied the existence of the device. » Read more: Apple’s Latest Creation

Pioneer AVIC-F900BT Installation

June 22nd, 2009

Late last year, while I was visiting my friend Chris down in Pensacola, we stopped into a Best Buy and found a sat-nav system for the Golf. After doing some price comparison, shopping around, and conversing with friends, I found and ordered an expandable satellite navigation system.

I ordered the Pioneer AVIC-F900BT Satellite Navigation system, as well as the Sirius radio module, and was able to pick up the iPod connector at a local electronics store. After pulling everything together, and doing some test fits, my dad and I were able to install, secure, and hard-wire the unit into the 2000 Volkswagen Golf. » Read more: Pioneer AVIC-F900BT Installation

WordPress iPhone App

August 4th, 2008

WordPress has released their mobile blogging tool for the Apple iPhone. Avilable in the iPhone’s AppStore as a free download, the application will work with either WordPress blogging servers or self-installed systems, and provides locally saving posts to the iPhone, or remotely to your server.

For a first release, the application seems well rounded, and allows the blogger-on-the-go easier access to scripting posts.

Although, the application is missing a few things:
- Photos/Image postings
- Linking to external websites
- YouTube embedding
- Access to administrative features (approve/decline comments, etc.)
-Access to the camera for quick photos posts

Aside from those features, which I would expect to see some funtionality in the next release, the WordPress App is steady and strong.

BTW: I wrote this post using the WordPress App on my 3G iPhone.

[UPDATE 1] I stand corrected, the WordPress Application does allow access to posting photos.

[UPDATE 2] The WordPress App could benifit from having a more intuitive posting options, including “Delete”. And Rich Text Formating (MagicPad anyone?)

[UPDATE 3] Also, having control over options, such as allowing comments would be a benifical feature as well.

[UPDATE 4] I’m slowly discovering that, while the WordPress App is decent, it still has its flaws. The latest issue seems to be that the app crashes from time to time. Hopefully, the updated version will address this issue.
