iPhone Apps We Love: NetShare – Share Your 3G/EDGE Connection With Your Computer

NetShare is one app we never thought would make it onto the official iPhone App Store. All it does is set up a SOCKS5 proxy for you to get your laptop/computer online through use of the 3G/EDGE connection. Does it work? Yes. Yes it does, much to our surprise. EDGE works just fine, although Mahoney…

Apple Now Telling Developers How Many People Download Their App

We reported in our massive feature on the SDK and App Store’s shortcomings that Apple didn’t even tell devs how many times their app is downloaded. I guess they realized devs might wanna know, ’cause now they’re offering daily download statistics to registered devs. One brick at a time.

Why Apple Is Sticking With Intel Chipsets (Probably)

One of the more eyebrow-raising rumors in the scramble of them about Apple’s upcoming MacBooks is that they will switch from Intel chipsets to someone else’s. It seemed odd on its face, since Intel and Apple are fairly tight, and there’s not a very apparent reason to switch. Jon at Ars lays out a fairly…

iPhone Developers Get Push Notification API

Apple’s just seeded the push notification API to developers through the second beta release of the iPhone 2.1 firmware. What this means to you is that developers can now tailor their apps to receive notifications in the background while it’s not running, something supremely useful for apps like AIM, and to a lesser extent, Twitter…

10 Things We Want to See in the iPhone 2.1 Update

The iPhone 2.0 software is pretty good. We like the App Store a lot; it adds a boatload of new functionality to the iPhone. But it’s certainly not perfect. Having used it for a few weeks, we’ve discovered a number of little quirks that we really hope are addressed in the upcoming update. From bugs…

iPhone Hip Holster Recharges Your Battery While Repelling the Ladies

Sheathing something as slick and pocketable as the iPhone in a holster feels wrong to me for many reasons, but this particular holster adds the handy ability to charge your drained batteries with its own rechargeable Li-ion battery back. It’s good for one full charge before it needs to be recharged itself. Handy, and at…

iTunes 7.7.1 is Out

No word on what it does besides “improve stability and performance”. Keep in mind that this comes a few days after iPhone app DRM was cracked, so if you’re dabbling in the black arts of app swapping, you probably want to wait til someone else reports on whether this affects that or not before upgrading.…

Apple Tells Retailers to Stock Up on Current MacBooks and iPods (Don’t Buy One Now)

If you needed a bigger hint that new iPods and MacBooks (whatever form they take) are around the corner, AppleInsider is reporting that Apple has “strongly suggested” to its retail channel partners to stock up on at least four weeks worth of their best-selling iPod models, and at least three weeks worth of MacBooks and…

AT&T Will Blast Wireless P2P Users (Or at Least Their Account)

AT&T already caps its data plans at 5GB a month, but they told the FCC on Friday that if they catch you using their mobile broadband network for P2P, they’ll nuke your account. Specifically, senior VP of dealing with the government Robert Quinn said that “AT&T’s terms of service for mobile wireless broadband customers prohibit…

White iPhones Are Cracking – How Frequently, We Do Not Know

One report, it’s an anomaly. Two reports, maybe one’s fake. But more and more reports have been surfacing-with photos-of cracking white iPhone 3Gs. So is the white iPhone constructed in an inferior manner to the black model? Or are black iPhone 3Gs just better at hiding the cracks? We’re not sure, and there’s still too…

Glass Multi-touch Trackpads Only Make Sense With Displays Under ‘Em

New Apple notebooks are most certainly coming in the next six to eight weeks, and they will probably have the most extensive design overhauls in years. And the long-fabled MacBook touch might finally appear on the mortal plane. But the best rumor, we think, is that the new MacBooks will have a glass, multi-touch trackpad.…

The idea of taking your current location and emailing it to one of your contacts is super simple, but super effective.

New iPod nano Will Be Taller, Skinnier, More Zune-Like (Gasp!)

iLounge is reporting that this year’s iPod nano will have a bigger screen than the current generation, with the same 1.5:1 widescreen aspect ratio as the iPhone and iPod touch. In order to cram in that kind of screen real estate, it’s getting stretched back out to its old school proportions (which I like better…

iPhone 2.1 Firmware Hints at New iPod touch

Apparently hidden in the code of the 2.1 firmware we’re anxiously awaiting to make our iPhones less laggy and crashy (and maybe add copy and paste!) is a reference to a new iPod touch model. The current iPod touch designation is “iPod1,1” but there’s a string in the code for an “iPod2,1” which points at…
