App Store Is Now Accepting iPad Apps

With the iPad just around the corner, developers are going to be jumping for joy when they receive the mail from Apple (which has been sent out) notifying them that they can now start submitting apps for the iPad App Store. The app will obviously be reviewed by Apple’s App Review Team, which is pretty much the same process for submitting your app for the iPhone. You’ll need to submit your app by March 27th in order to produce it for the grand opening. Don’t forget that your app needs to be built using the iPhone SDK 3.2 Beta 5 in order to be accepted for the initial review. Do you have any apps lined up to be reviewed by the App Review Team already?

Why iGroups is coming to an iPhone near you!

March 19, 2010

Apple Inc. filed a patent application recently for mobile social networking technology called iGroups.

Mobile social networking is the use of location info ("I'm at MacWorld right now") to connect with colleagues ("you're here, too!") in a way that enhances social networking, replaces the exchanging of business cards and facilitates face-to-face meetings.

The filing of a patent doesn't mean Apple will turn that technology into a product. But I think they will -- and soon. Here's why.

Latest SDK Beta Shows The iPad’s Support For Hardware Dvorak Keyboards

Latest SDK Beta Shows The iPad's Support For Hardware Dvorak Keyboards

There’s some good news and poor news for Dvorak keyboard users out there. Dvorak is an alternative keyboard layout to the dominant QWERTY keyboard layout that’s being used by most society. In Apple’s latest iPhone SDK 3.2 Beta 5 you can find support for hardware Dvorak keyboards in the OS, which is certainly good news. The poor news is, that the support is for hardware keyboards, there isn’t any mention of the software keyboard, which in all honesty, should be a lot easier to implement. How many Bluetooth Dvorak keyboards do you see out in the market? Of course, you could always place stickers by a normal QWERTY keyboard, but it’s not the same, right?

iHome iP39 Kitchen Timer and FM Alarm Clock Radio Speaker System for iPhone/iPod

Boy, is that one of the longest product names that we've come across so far - the iHome iP39 Kitchen Timer and FM Alarm Clock Radio Speaker System for iPhone/iPod. As though there isn't ample iPod or iPhone speaker docks to go around already, iHome adds to the crowd with the iP39, where it comes in a mixture of stainless steel and black, enabling it to fit into most contemporary homes without looking like an eyesore. You have dual alarms that allow you to wake up to your favorite tunes on your iPod or subject your ears to the random tunes of the local radio station via its FM radio. Apart from that, dual kitchen timers help you keep track of two dishes simultaneously, ensuring your guests do not end up with a burnt lunch. Would you fork out $99.99 for the iP39?

T-Mobile USA To Offer iPhone In Late 2010 Or Early 2011?

T-Mobile USA To Offer iPhone In Late 2010 Or Early 2011?iphone-tmobile-germany.jpg" />

According to a recent interview, RenĂ© Obermann, CEO of T-Mobile USA parent company Deutsche Telekom, has mentioned that T-Mobile USA might start offering the iPhone as soon as late 2010, or early 2011. While the carrier’s current focus is obviously on Google’s Android OS, getting the iPhone on its network would be a great move, considering the huge appeal of Apple’s mobile phone. Does that mean that Apple’s exclusivity deal with AT&T is be going down the drain? Are you looking forward to T-Mobile offering the iPhone, or do you think that Android devices are the way to go?

BlackBerry ‘T’ Slider Phone Next Month?

BlackBerry 'T' Slider Phone Next Month?

Do you think that RIM’s BlackBerry Slider will just be called the 9930, or will it have a name like the other models such as the Storm, Bold, Curve etc? A tidbit of data has just surfaced today, from an interview with the CEO of a RIM parts supplier (Woojeon & Handan). Apparently RIM will be launching a make new BlackBerry “T” phone next month, which is aimed at competing with the iPhone (don’t all the phones already do that?) While it’s not entirely certain what the “T” could stand for, but speculation is that it could indicate the previously hinted codename “Talladega”. Do you have any theories that you think are possible?

Harman Kardon and JBL refreshes spring lineup

Harman Kardon and JBL will be introducing fresh meat for that spring, with the MS-8 being the first car audio tuner that was specially designed for owners themselves, since it brings together a digital audio processor with adjustment controls and headphone monitors which will help tune a car's existing speaker system. Included is a step-by-step process that theoretically improves bass, dynamics, frequency response and other factors in a mere 10 minutes - now how about that! Expect the MS-8 to ship that April for $799. Apart from that, there will plus be a range of iPod and iPhone speaker docks, 5.1-channel surround sound kits and home theater systems. whether you're a huge fan of either label, next you might just want to wait until April before making that upgrade jump.
