Anything Tech

In Saudi Arabia, iPhone is now available everywhere but the price is still high. I can say that everybody still wants to get hold of the great and slick phone due to it’s design and buzz that was made by Apple  last year. My friends who got hold of this unit says that the price is worth the unit. I just don’t know why the price is high compared to it’s price in the net. SO what if you get an iphone and you need to have an iphone unlock software because you need to use your sim card in you own country, as for me if I bought an iPhone in Saudi Arabia while I am on trip I will be needing that unlock software so that I can use it in Philippines, There are site that are selling software to unlock your iphone such as unlock iphone 3g 2.2.1 ,

The software claims to unlock your iphone in just 1 click. I think it’s an amazing program. But please be inform that we are not connected to that company and still as what I have always told it is up to you to decide.

The iPhone 2.2.1 update just hit, and it promises to fix various Safari, Mail and Camera bugs.

It applies to iPhone and iPhone 3G (iPod Touch’s update seems like it’s here too), and doesn’t seem like it introduces new features.  The update is 245.7 MB, in case you’re on dial-up at your grandma’s house.

Jailbreakers should hold off on installing until it’s confirmed that 2.2.1 can be jailbroken, and unlockers should definitely hold on.

The Palm Pre is the latest smartphone to have the mantle of ‘iPhone Killer’ bestowed upon it, and it looks like Apple may be concerned enough to have its lawyers looking for possible patent infringements.

In a Q&A during Apple’s Q1 earnings call earlier this week, an analyst asked Tim Cook, acting Apple CEO, to comment on the similarities of the touch functionality of the Palm Pre and iPhone. Although he didn’t mention Palm by name, Cook’s sharp response suggested that he’d been thinking along the same lines.

"We like competition, as long as they don’t rip off our IP, and if they do, we’re going to go after anybody that does," Cook said in the call. "We will not stand for having our IP ripped off and we’ll use whatever weapons we have at our disposal [to prevent that from happening]."

Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard

Tech Trends reporter Jeff Tate captured this exclusive footage of the new "MacBook Wheel" direct from the Mac Expo.

A single clickwheel replacing the obsolete keyboard is pure brilliance. The über slick tag line, "One Button. Endless Possibilities" perfectly addresses what the notebook market has no idea they really need. I feel myself needing it already.

Apple will once again change the way the world experiences laptop computing with "The Wheel. Reinvented". Nothing could be more simple to use than a "single giant button". I have seen the future… it’s the MacBook Wheel.

"People who use keyboards are standing in the way of human progress," said Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

Yellowsn0w, the illustrious iPhone 3G unlocking software, dropped with the Times Square Ball yesterday, but the first beta edition didn’t work for many. Hopefully the updated 0.9.4 beta from the iPhone Dev Team should resolve those issues and allow all those Jesusphone 3Gs to be released from their AT&T shackles. So if our step-by-step guide left you frustrated and furious, give it another go with the updated software.

Have you seen an xray picture of macbook ? Well this is your chance to see it ..

About a week ago, I was in the mood to do something crazy — anything to help pull myself out of the blue funk I had fallen into. I texted my brother the vet to ask if he had an x-ray machine in his office, and what size his film plates were. I told him that I wanted to try and x-ray my laptop, something that had been on my mind ever since I saw an x-ray of an Apple Titanium PowerBook. He said “No problem,” and two days later I was sitting in his office waiting for him to finish minor surgery on a dog. When he was done and had washed up, he led me to the x-ray machine, asked me to place the laptop on the plate, and signaled for me to step away from the machine. A couple of seconds later the x-ray was done, and after 15 minutes his assistant handed me the developed film. I scanned the developed plate and enhanced the brightness and contrast, and made low-res copies of the file.

What iPhone 2.2 software have some bugs on it ? palmaddict reported some of them that you might want to look at.

Do you like Slider case for the iPhone with an integrated battery inside. Called the "Power Slider", the new case has built-in five LED power level status lights in the back (like the MacBook) and a pass-through port that allows you to charge and sync the phone without removing the case itself.

The Marware is a gaming controller grip that allows you to grip the iPhone rather then gently holding it in your fingertips while playing.

There are rumors that Apple will also introduce refreshed 20 and 24-inch iMacs before year’s end. If true, new iMacs would be in keeping with earlier rumors that they would see spec bumps alongside the introduction of the new MacBooks.

More likely there will be more upgrades on their existing and 24-inch models, including processor bumps in keeping with the updated Montevina-based chips currently shipping in new MacBooks. Another likely change is the move to better, Nvidia-branded graphics cards in all models, replacing the ATI Radeon 2400 and 2600 HD cards currently in use. Nvidia has clearly become a supplier of choice for Apple, and their presence in all Apple notebooks provides strong evidence that we’ll see them in Apple’s desktops, as well.

I just hope that the changes will not jack up the price.

According to Mac Rumors, the latest MacBooks might have an unannounced new feature: GPU-accelerated h.264 codec decoding.

According to anecdotal evidence, the new aluminum MacBook’s processor runs around 75% slower when playing back 1080p movie when compared to a last-gen MacBook Pro with the Nvidia 8600M GT.

That makes sense: the MacBook’s built-in 9400M chip is designed to support offloading video decoding to the GPU. But it’s nice to see confirmation; more over, it seems to hint that we’ll be seeing a lot more high-definition content on iTunes, sooner rather than later.

Today AppLoop launched a mobile application generator which lets you turn any RSS feed into a mobile application for either iPhone (available today) or Android (coming soon). But It would be better if they can do it also to symbian phones .The company, who competes with the analytics and advertising solution MediaLets, wanted to provide everyone with the tools to make a mobile app, even if they didn’t have any programming experience.

To do so, they’ve created their new Mobile Application Generator, a tool which creates a mobile-ready application in less than two minutes.

A new application for the iPhone has been released. The app is named Trapster and it attempts to prevent you from getting speeding tickets while out and about.

The free iPhone application tracks you with GPS and represents you as a dot on a map. If you see a police officer with a speeding radar gun, you simply tap the screen. The software then alerts all other Trapster users in the area to the whereabouts of the speeding camera.
