Here is a picture of the new Gold iPhone. Isn't it cool? Goldstriker International brings a new collection of golden Apple devices, including 3 types of iPods besides the iPhone. Prices for each device are given below.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced an upcoming software development kit for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
It should be ready by February 2008. The company wants to make sure that the handset will be protected from hackers while remaining open to third-party application developers.
This explains such a long development period of the SDK.
Apple is experiencing some problems with the launching of its iconic iPhone handset in Canada.
First of all, a Toronto-based company Comwave Telecom, which offers a set of VoIP services and products in Canada under the name iPhone, has filed an opposition with the CIPO (Canadian Intellectual Property Office) to Apple's trademark application to distribute the device in the country under its original name.
Apparently, iPhone will soon be available in Canada.
Great, you say? Not quite.
The main problem here is that it will cost $799 (!), twice as much as in the U.S. How do you like that? Further more, the official carrier to offer the device is the one with bad reputation, Rogers Wireless.
According to Apple Insider, an announcement from Apple will take place sometime between the 22nd and the 27th of October. So what has Apple prepared for us? Well, they've kept their promise and are about to bring us the new Leopard OS.
Rumors have it that the release date is scheduled on October 26
Here is a new, groundless, yet very interesting rumor for you, about some new iPhone Extreme, probably an upcoming version of the famous device, with 16GB of memory, 3G connectivity and GPS functionality.
The whole idea comes from a line in the source code on the Apple iPhone Feedback Page, where the device is mentioned (see the picture).
Apple has released its latest iPhone firmware update v.1.1.1. As usual, the new version offers some additional features and tweaks, which are listed below. But be aware that installing it can render your handset unusable. There are many reports of unlocked iPhones refusing to read the AT&T SIM-cards after the update process has finished.
According to AppleInsider , Apple is working on an iPhone successor, the iNewt, which is expected to hit the market in the first half of 2008.
The upcoming device (PDA, UMPC, whatever...) will be 1.5 times the size of an iPhone, will have a large hi-res touch-sensitive display using Apple's multi touch technology, and will probably be running on Mac OS X Leopard.
Apple threatens owners of unlocked iPhones that the upcoming software update can permanently brick their handset if someone decides to update the phone's firmware to a new version.
We're a little skeptical about the fact that a firmware update can make the device "permanently inoperable", but anything is possible, right?
Although I'm positive they'll release a new crack to solve this problem.
