If Apple’s newest job listing is any indicator, the techies at Cupertino are looking to bring on a new employee to finally bring Microsoft Exchange functionality to the iPhone. Apple is apparently looking for a “motivated, highly-technical Exchange test/sync engineer with excellent problem solving and communication skills,” who will be joining “a dynamic team responsible…
Video recording on the iPhone gets real
Or at least as real as a proof-of-concept application can get. The iPhone’s lack of video recording was an interesting omission that didn’t really make sense. Battery issues shouldn’t be, well, an issue. There’s really no extra hardware involved. And every other decent cameraphone has video recording capability. So, it’s up to the third-party iPhone…
TomTom developing GPS module for iPhone?
We can’t tell you how much we love grainy spy-shots and questionable rumors. Like this one, for example. The image you see to the right shows what looks to be a TomTom-made GPS module plugged in to the bottom of an iPhone, with GPS navigation prompts displayed on the screen. With the iPhone SDK slated…
IntoMobile’s 3G vs EDGE webpage load-time shootout – just how slow is the iPhone?
Right, we all know just how much faster 3G data speeds are in comparison to EDGE speeds. Theoretical speeds are one thing, straight-up throughput numbers are impressive, but what about the most important aspect of any device’s wireless data connection – actual web-browsing performance? Unless you’re one of the harder-core mobile warriors that uses their…
Time magazine does it again; Awards Apple iPhone as the top gadget
Roughly a month ago we saw the Time magazine awarding Apple iPhone with its “Invention of the Year” title. Now they did it again — in their “Top 10 Gadgets” list, iPhone is listed as the number one gadget. Interesting enough, Palm Centro is the only other mobile phone on the list and holds the…
Apple files patent application for multi-tasking multi-touch gaming interface
We let this one slip through the cracks, but here it is – better late than never. Playing a mobile game usually means that you’ll have to put all other applications on hold (if not closed-out altogether for the sake of memory usage). The mobile game usually takes priority on most touch-based commands (and directional…
Make music with your iPhone – control Pro Tools in real time with the iPhone
This is most definitely one of the coolest third-party iPhone applications that have yet to hit the third-party application market. The iPhone’s capacitance-based multi-touch screen is perfect for on-the-fly, simple manipulation with a brush of the finger. So, it makes sense to put it to good use – like controlling your Pro Tools setup so…
Apple, Volkswagen end partnership talks; No iCar in the near future
Back in September, we reported that Apple and Volkswagen are discussing partnership. We hoped Jobs&Co will co-operate with the German giant and that at some point in the future we’ll see more user-friendly and hi-tech equipped cars as a result. Now, I’m sorry to report that the talks have ended leaving most of us from…
Mactracker updated with iPhone and iPod Touch info
Technical geeks will be happy to hear that Mactracker has updated its sometimes useful, always interesting (to us, at least) database of Mac products to include the iPhone and the iPod Touch. The new Mactracker is upgraded to work with Leopard (you have upgraded, haven’t you?), integrates warranty information with iCal, shows “iTunes compatibility” for…
Video: iPhonami, or the art of making the iPhone stand from a standard dollar bill
No you don’t need an expensive stand for your iPhone or iPod Touch. The regular one dollar bill works just fine. This guy is using the 100 dollar bill, but we know a single buck will work as well. And in case you’re wondering, his name is Enrique Pardo and he’s a well known graphic…
