Sanwa’s Waterproof iPhone Case Will Either Float or Fail

Leaving your iPhone pool or beach side while taking a dip can be a risky move, so a waterproof iPhone case seems like a smart idea. This one even has a special jack for use with waterproof headphones. The protectively sealed bag design has clear windows so you can still use your iPod Touch or…

The iPhone’s First Streaming Live Concert Starts Now

Apple’s first-ever streaming live concert airs tonight for the iPhone, featuring British electronica group Underworld. Apple’s keeping it a bit quiet, presumably to not destroy AT&T’s feeble servers, but we’ve never been good at keeping secrets. The free show starts now, at 9PM PST (midnight EST), and can be found either here or here. It’ll…

The Week In iPhone Apps: Makin’ Music, Chompin’ Ghosts

This week in the unseasonably entertaining App Store: Another bizarrely amazing music app; free turn-by-turn directions of questionable reliability; a fat man on a tightrope; an interesting take on the classic-est of classics; and a treat for our dear developers. Pac-Mac Remix: This is an official, sanctioned Pac-Man remake, and accordingly a pretty good one.…

iStubz iPhone/iPod Cables Can’t See Over the Bank Counter

iStubz might sound like a stupid idea, but practically speaking, my iPhone charge/sync cable is a bit annoyingly long when charging over USB. The iStubz are essentially shortened iPhone/iPod cables. How short, you ask? Imagine a 3-inch cable. Then shorten it by .25 inches. Yes, that’s right, the iStubz measures just 2.75 inches in all.…

Apple Yanks Sex Offender Locator From App Store to the Relief of Perverts Everywhere

Remember the Sex Offender Locator in the App Store? Because America kind of sucks sometimes, it was one of Apple’s top 10 paid apps for a while. Until Apple yanked it, that is. https://gizmodo.com/offender-locator-tracks-sex-offenders-on-your-iphone-5325395 The makers are apparently planning on suing Apple over this, but I don’t think they have a leg to stand on:…

Giz Explains: How Push Works

Push. It’s not just a verb that sends people careening down a flight of stairs. It’s also not just for guys in suits diddling on BlackBerrys. You hear it featured on new iPhone apps every week. So, what is it? Well, push describes a lot of things. Push is simply an action. Versus, say, pulling.…

Apple’s Phil Schiller Explains They Don’t Actually Censor Dictionaries

Apparently the “Apple Censors Dictionary” headlines were too toxic to ignore: Phil Schiller himself wrote to Daring Fireball to explain what happened: Basically, it was all a big misunderstanding.

Now Apple’s Blocking All Ebook App Store Submissions? Update: No

TUAW says they’ve heard Apple is blocking all new ebook app submissions to the App Store because they’re often used for “infringing upon third party rights” and “have chosen to not publish this type of application.” Hmm. Updated It’s definitely possible—Apple just kicked the third-largest developer in the App Store out for intellectual property violations—as…

Would You Pay $200 For TomTom’s iPhone Car Kit?
